Compilation of the Best Culinary Experiences in Rhodes in Autumn

At H Hotels Collection, gastronomy is an important aspect to the holiday experience. The group’s acclaimed restaurants and curated Rhodes food tours in Autumn bring together innovation and authenticity, offering guests the finest flavours of the season both within and beyond the resorts.

Autumn Flavours of Rhodes

Rhodes food is a delight all year round. But Autumn is the season of abundance. Local markets brim with olives, grapes, figs, and pomegranates, while vineyards and olive groves hum with harvest activity. The cooler days call for heartier dishes — slow-cooked stews, roasted meats, and rustic recipes that have been passed down through generations. 

Dining in Rhodes at this time of year is not just about food; it’s about reconnecting with the island’s agricultural roots. From sea-to-table freshness to mountain-foraged herbs, every bite tells a story of heritage and care.
