Discover the Island Beyond Summer

Autumn is the season when sightseeing slows down, beaches empty out, and nature and culture come into perfect harmony.

As summer fades and the island settles into a gentler rhythm, Autumn excursions in Rhodes reveal a different kind of beauty brought about by mild weather, vivid colours, and authentic encounters.

Autumn Excursions in Rhodes: Experience the Island at Its Most Authentic

In Autumn, Rhodes offers visitors the rare chance to enjoy the island’s highlights without the summer crowds. The temperatures hover comfortably around 24°C, ideal for walking through ancient ruins, visiting hilltop villages, or embarking on coastal drives. Every corner of the island tells a story; from the UNESCO-listed Old Town to quiet inland chapels and olive-covered hills.

Whether you’re drawn to historic wonders, countryside traditions, or sea adventures, Autumn is the ideal time to explore Rhodes at your own pace. 

Exploring the Best Autumn Guided Tours in Rhodes

Guests staying with H Hotels Collection can arrange a variety of Autumn excursions in Rhodes directly through the Concierge, each designed to showcase a different side of the island. Whether by land, by sea, or through local taste experiences, every excursion promises a blend of relaxation, discovery, and Greek warmth.

By Land – Culture, Villages & Scenic Routes

When the midday sun softens, the landscapes of Rhodes become even more inviting, and Autumn guided tours in Rhodes offer a unique chance to explore. A prime opportunity to explore charming inland landscapes with horse riding and villages such as Embonas and Siana, where traditional wineries and family-run tavernas welcome travellers with open arms. 

Similarly, the Acropolis of Lindos in the golden morning light is disarming — made even more so by the gentler pace and softer light of the season. After exploring this ancient wonder, spend a half-day discovering what to see in Rhodes Old Town, where medieval streets, hidden courtyards, and sunlit piazzas invite slow exploration.

Evenings are made for something special: a Rhodes by Night tour offers an atmospheric way to see the city after dusk — a combination of moonlit walks through the Old Town and a sunset drink overlooking Mandraki Harbour. It’s history with a hint of romance.

By Sea – Autumn Adventures on the Water

The Aegean remains warm and calm well into November, making it the perfect time for sea excursions. Private yacht, catamaran, or motor-yacht cruises allow guests to explore the coastline in comfort and privacy. Glide past Anthony Quinn Bay, Tsambika Beach, and Kallithea Springs, or anchor for a swim in quiet coves only accessible by boat.

For something truly memorable, the Concierge can arrange a boat trip from Rhodes to Symi island, one of the most picturesque and peaceful destinations near Rhodes. Pastel houses, serene monasteries, and harbourside tavernas offer a postcard-perfect escape that feels worlds away yet remains close enough for a day trip.

By Flavour – Autumn’s Culinary Excursions

Autumn in Rhodes is the season of harvest, making it the best time to explore the island’s culinary side. Wine lovers can venture to the mountain village of Embonas, home to some of the oldest vineyards in the Dodecanese. Here, tastings of Assyrtiko and Athiri wines reveal the character of Rhodes’ volcanic soil. Pair this with a visit to a women’s agricultural cooperative for handmade delicacies, and you’ll experience the island’s traditions in their most authentic form.

Furthermore, you could take part in an olive oil tasting session, visit a local farm, or enjoy a traditional Rhodes cooking class where you’ll pick ingredients straight from the garden before preparing classic dishes like tzatziki and dolmadakia.

It is the perfect time to explore the best culinary experiences in Rhodes in Autumn, where local flavours, fine dining, and authentic gastronomy come together in unforgettable ways.
