Sunset sailing and wine tour

• Depart from Rhodes Town Mandraki Harbour
• Sail to Kallithea Springs for swimming and snorkeling
• Sail past Rhodes Medieval Town walls
• Stop at northern tip of Rhodes Island for sunset and wine

The experience

The boat leaves Mandraki Harbour in Rhodes Town and heads straight to Kallithea Springs, a sheltered bay ringed with palm trees and Moorish-style architecture where the water stays calm and clear. The cove has a pebbly beach and shallow entry, making it easy to get in with snorkeling gear. Fish move through the water here regularly. The bay was known for centuries as a healing spring, and today it's a working swimming spot where you can see what lives beneath the surface without fighting current or depth.

After time in the water, the yacht sails back toward Rhodes Town and passes the Medieval Town's majestic stone walls before heading to the northern tip of the island. This is where you anchor for the main event: the sun dropping into the sea. Wine, prosecco, beer and soft drinks come out, along with appetizers and fresh fruit. The crew handles the boat. You watch the light change and the horizon swallow the sun. Coffee and tea are available if you want them instead.

A private yacht means no strangers on board. Your group is the only one there. The skipper and crew manage the sails and the route, so you're free to move around, photograph, or simply sit. The 3.5 hours includes travel time to and from Kallithea, so the actual sailing and the stop at the sunset point fit inside an afternoon or early evening window. Fuel, all drinks, snacks and the crew are priced into one booking. You choose your group size at checkout and pay per group, not per person.
