Solo travel experience

I was there last year in September and I loved it. Super safe, great places to swim and visit, and the food was amazing. People were very friendly and kind. It was smaller than other islands so it was easier to visit. I went to a lot of places with the bus and it was perfect.

Solo travel experience

I found Rhodes extremely expensive, even compared to Santorini and Mykonos. I also felt the island was more so families and older people rather than a young crowd. Did love that the island had cats everywhere.
