What you'll see and do
Anthony Quinn Bay
After about an hour of traveling, you will reach your first destination – ANTHONY QUINNS' Bay. It is considered as one of the loveliest and calmest bays all over the island! Officially it is called Vaghies, however, after the film “Guns of Navarone” was shot there, the locals gave to the bay the name Anthony Quinn, the star of the film. The water in the bay is crystal clear with fascinating colors.

Tsambika Beach
Tsambika is known for its 800 m (0.5 mi) long fine golden sand beach. Our cruise vessel will moor up for about 2 hours close to the shore so that you can reach the rocks or the bay and swim to your heart’s content. While you take dips and splash water all around, the crew will prepare for buffet lunch served on board. You can relax in the shade and dry off while recharging your batteries with a variety of Greek food – moussaka, veggies, salads, meatballs, or pasta.
120 minutes here
Traganou Beach
After, you will sail to the scenic Traganou Bay in Afandou with caves! The rocky beach of Traganou will offer an exciting swimming experience as you will have a chance to swim to an outstanding cave. The water is crystal clear and the scenery difficult to compete with. Brave swimmers can even try jumping off the rocks and enjoy swimming to its fullest.
30 minutes here
Kallithea Springs
As the day comes closer to the end, there is one last chance to swim in Kallithea bay. The sheltered bay offers a great view also for those who just want to dry off in the warm sea breeze and soak up the laid-back atmosphere before you cruise back to Rhodes.

Walking in the clouds Madeira
'East coast' trip with Diego. This was fabulous. All day sightseeing tour of the East of the island. Literally walking in the clouds, excellent trip I cant believe it only cost 35 euros. Diego discussed the history of the island and took us all over the east side of the island , some beautiful areas . I would gladly go again. Worth every penny.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear you had such a memorable day on the Bay to Bay Trip. It sounds like you really enjoyed exploring the beautiful spots and soaking in the island’s history, all while taking in those incredible views. We truly appreciate your kind words, and it’s amazing to know that you’d happily join us again. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for more unforgettable moments!

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
East Coast Bay to Bay Full-Day Boat Trip with Transfers: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rhodes.
How much does East Coast Bay to Bay Full-Day Boat Trip with Transfers cost?
+
Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rhodes usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does East Coast Bay to Bay Full-Day Boat Trip with Transfers take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rhodes is not rushed.
Is East Coast Bay to Bay Full-Day Boat Trip with Transfers worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 34 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rhodes, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule East Coast Bay to Bay Full-Day Boat Trip with Transfers?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is East Coast Bay to Bay Full-Day Boat Trip with Transfers suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book East Coast Bay to Bay Full-Day Boat Trip with Transfers?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rhodes can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rhodes and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does East Coast Bay to Bay Full-Day Boat Trip with Transfers start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rhodes within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rhodes?
+
On Outty we rank every Rhodes experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Makarounas Fishing Boat Trip with swimming stop and BBQ on board, Rhodes Exclusive Swim Cruise Cocktail Open bar & Gourmet Buffet, Athens cruise: Agistri, Moni/Metopi, Aegina with lunch & drinks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rhodes?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rhodes?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
