Practical
About 14 km from Rhodes town (Greeka); go by taxi or hire car. The ruins of ancient Ialysos are on the same hill (OSM 36.39828, 28.14640). Sailing Issues: 'a nice day trip with peacocks as a bonus'. Check opening hours and tickets locally.
Best for
A cool, green half-day away from the boat
