Rank : 9.4 (average on 5 votes)

Coordinates : 36.100157,28.060455 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Landscapes and landscape painting in general, underwater photography, architecture (typically insular or archaeological), food (which never fails), wildlife (especially cats, of which the island is full, and butterflies in the famous Valley of the Butterflies), sports (surf and sky-surfing on the southern tip of the island).

Recommended equipment : Sufficient standard equipment for landscaping (ie tripod mandatory and wide-angle lenses preferably but not exclusively), filters to accentuate the different and beautiful blue waters but the rest are not necessary. If you want to travel light something like the 24-105 canon could do for you ... although actually, especially on aps-c you lose a lot of wide angle (I was behind a Tamron 24-135 on aps-c .. . no comment on the quality of the lens, but unfortunately my kit lens is scarce, and I'm working right at this time to expand it). For surfing and water sports instead a telephoto lens would be better. Ps I am a beginner so maybe I'm missing something, but in principle I think I have mentioned all you need.

Best months : I've been there in September and of course the full summer in August, in which those parts are easily reached 40 degrees with blazing sun for days had scorched everything in terms of vegetation ... anyway I think that its spring and September are the best times to visit the island. July and August would avoid the extreme heat and the influx of tourists.

How to get there : You arrive at the city of Rhodes with low-cost addition to the line (I used ryan-air). The airport is 15 km from the city. once you arrive you can rent a car (recommended) or use public transport which cover more or less the whole time though with not too comfortable (the last to Lindos for example, a village beautiful, the most beautiful island Part seven o'clock). I rented a car for a week and with that we visited the island as a whole.

Visits : The entrance to the acropolis of lindos is free of charge (6 euro) as well as the site of the ancient city of Kamiros (4 euro). In both cases, it's worth it.

Notes : I've stayed in Lindos a town situated halfway between the tip of the south and north, on the east coast (the best for those who want more than to photograph cool off from the hot water in beautiful, because the west coast has always fought for twenty incessant, for where the sea is almost always very moved). Lindos offers wonderful views, a magical atmosphere (located at the foot of a plateau on which there is the acropolis from which you can take pictures of magnificent views) and exceptional sea. Rhodes-city rather not impressed me much ... but it's probably a matter of taste. The beautiful village of Haraki with its harbor and the castle on the hill that overlooks it. Glimpses very nice offer the Bay of Anthony Quinn and Ladiko that they are side by side. Do not miss Prassonisi, the southern tip of the island where they meet strong sea currents and winds incredible paradise for surfers and skysurfisti ... and who photographing them! also very beautiful archaeological sites for those who love shots of historic architecture (eg Kamiros) and the characteristic villages with typical houses buried by colored or white bougainvillea.
