Overwiew
Your day will start with a worry-free transfer to the port and our assistance in check-in and boarding. Then put on plenty of sun protection lotion, sit back and take in the Panoramic views of Rhodes Medieval town as you start your cruise.
Relax in the sunshine and work on your tan while observing stunning coastline with dramatic mountain landscapes that dip into the deep Aegean sea.
After approx. 45 min travel, you will reach your first swimming stop in Anthony Quinn’s Bay. It is well known for its crystal-clear emerald waters and the sheltered rocky beach. It is the famous beach where the Hollywood actor once tried to create a resort for wealthy travelers. Time to enjoy your first swimming stop! Jump off the boat, swim, snorkel, and have fun!
Then continue your swimming adventure with the next stop at Tsambika Bay. Tsambika is known for its 800 m (0.5 mi) long fine golden sand beach. Our cruise vessel will moor up for about 2 hours close to the shore so that you can reach the rocks or the bay and swim to your heart’s content.
While you take dips and splash water all around, the crew will prepare for buffet lunch served on board. You can relax in the shade and dry off while recharging your batteries with a variety of greek food – moussaka, veggies, salads, meatballs, or pasta.
Then take a little snooze or lose yourself in a book as you glide to the next bay with a stunning cave. The rocky beach of Afandou will offer an exciting swimming experience as you will have a chance to swim to the outstanding cave. The water is crystal clear and the scenery difficult to compete with. Brave swimmers can even try jumping off the rocks and enjoy swimming to its fullest.
As the day comes closer to the end, there is one last chance to swim in Kallithea bay. The sheltered bay offers a great view also for those who just want to dry off in the warm sea breeze and soak up the laid-back atmosphere before you cruise back to Rhodes. 
Your sunkissed skin, salty hair, and your wet towel will be the best witness to a day well-spent!
