At its core, Rhodes Travel Stories is not just a blog, it’s a community-driven storytelling platform dedicated to capturing the soul of the island through the voices of its visitors. Whether you're a seasoned traveler, a first-time explorer, or someone who simply fell in love with Rhodes and wants to share the experience, this space was built for you.
We believe that the most valuable travel advice doesn’t come from glossy brochures or influencers. It comes from real people, families, couples, solo wanderers, and road-trippers, who’ve walked the ancient paths, tasted local flavors, swum in secret bays, and interacted with the kind-hearted locals. That’s what makes Rhodes Travel Stories unique, it is powered by genuine moments, not curated content.
This platform was born from a desire to preserve and share the countless perspectives of Rhodes that are often overlooked. From bustling town squares to the stillness of remote hilltop chapels, every story adds another layer to understanding what makes this island so unforgettable.
We’re a small team of storytellers, designers, and local tourism advocates with a shared passion for Rhodes. Some of us were born here, others found their way here and never left. Together, we built Rhodes Travel Stories to bridge the gap between travelers and the destination itself, through authentic, unfiltered narratives.
This isn’t a guidebook. It’s a living archive of experiences. And it’s constantly growing, because of people like you.
You’ll find stories that range from lighthearted anecdotes to heartfelt reflections. Some might take you on a winding road trip through the mountains. Others might focus on a single moment, a sunset in Lindos, a coffee with a stranger in Archangelos, or a quiet afternoon at a beach no one talks about.
Every post is submitted by a traveler who experienced something personal and meaningful. You’ll also find practical insights woven naturally into these stories, such as which villages are worth the detour, where to eat like a local, or how to avoid the crowds and truly connect with the place.
To make browsing easier, we’ve grouped submissions by location and topic. Looking for nature walks or off-season travel tips? We’ve got you. Want to know what it’s like driving across the island in a rental car or visiting with kids? You’ll find firsthand stories that speak to exactly that.
We’re not trying to compete with commercial travel sites. Our goal is to support responsible, experience-based tourism and encourage travelers to see Rhodes through many lenses, not just the touristic one. Your contribution helps build a deeper understanding of what this island offers and what it means to the people who’ve been here.
Whether you choose to share your story or just read those of others, we hope you’ll walk away feeling a little more connected to Rhodes, and maybe a bit more inspired to return.
