Semi Submarine Rhodes: Underwater Views & 2 Swim Stops

See Fish Through the Cabin Floor, Then Swim Among Them

You board a semi-submarine that takes you to two swim stops: 25 minutes inside Traganou Caves (boat-only access) and 40 minutes at Anthony Quinn Bay with fish feeding and snorkel gear included. The open bar and underwater cabin viewing mean you're never bored between swims, and the whole cruise runs three hours with restroom facilities and air conditioning on board.

The experience

"Can we actually swim inside the cave?" That's the question everyone asks before boarding, and yes. The Traganou Caves are only reachable by boat, and you're in the water for a full 25 minutes, swimming right into the rock. The yellow semi-submarine does the work of getting you there. The underwater cabin lets you see what's below without getting wet first, which helps if you're deciding whether to jump in or stay topside. After that, it's 40 minutes at Anthony Quinn Bay, where a crew member feeds the fish and the water turns into this controlled chaos of silver bodies and movement.

The whole thing runs three hours from Rhodes, and the boat has an open bar (beers, soft drinks, water) included in your ticket. That matters more than it sounds, because you're in the sun the whole time, and the snorkelling gear is there if you want it, along with swimming noodles if you'd rather float and watch. The cruise passes Faliraki Beach on the way, so you get the coastline views without having to stop. Air conditioning below deck, a restroom on board, and the pace is steady enough that families with small children manage it fine, though the boat does rock a bit when you're moving between stops.

What you don't do is rush. The 25 minutes at the caves feels long enough to actually explore, and the 40 at Anthony Quinn Bay gives you time to snorkel, feed fish, or just sit on the deck and let the water warm you up between swims. The boat fills up, but it's not a cattle-car situation: groups stay mixed and the crew keeps things moving without pushing. If you're staying in Rhodes and want to get underwater without a certification or a full diving operation, this covers it in one morning or afternoon.
