When does the beach season start
Beach holidays in Rhodes begin in May, when the sea temperature becomes comfortable for swimming, and closes in October. Heading to the island in the middle of summer? Then get ready for the heat. We advise you to relax on the Aegean Sea in the summer, where there are more winds - it is easier to endure the heat there. And if you are planning to relax with children, then choose the velvet season.
