The guides were friendly , helpful and informative. The scenery was stunning. We saw a beautiful red fox who came to the shore to eat a fish tossed out by the crew.

3.Makarounas Fishing Boat Trip with swimming stop and BBQ on board

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 831 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $78

Spend about five hours fishing off Rhodes, then swim and snorkel near the rocky coves of Kallithea Springs. Angelo and Captain Vasili help with the gear and serve a generous onboard BBQ, Greek salad, fruit, and drinks. The group is limited to 12 people.

“We booked the fishing trip in advance for a day trip with our 6 children aged 7-14. We all had a lovely time. We were welcomed on board with drinks. The fishing was fun and we were helped to bait up and untangle lines etc.. The cave swimming was such an enjoyable experience and to then come back on board with the most wonderful food all laid up ready, presented wonderfully. Memories to last a lifetime. My only criticism is that 3 hours fishing was a little too long for younger children and the toilet on board needs a good clean and a proper lock on the door.”
