Lindos boat trip.
The trip started with a very expensive taxi ride to get to the meeting point behind the Apollo Blue Hotel. We then had to walk across the sand and into little boats to get to the main boat, the Doukissa, so wear appropriate footwear for that bit! The boat was fine. We sat on the top deck which had plastic chairs screwed to the deck. It was covered so no bad sunburn! It took almost 2hrs to reach Lindos so be prepared for a long journey. Once we arrived we navigated the tiny crowded lanes to get to the Acropolis. It was packed and the steps are extremely slippy so be advised that sensible footwear is essential for this! The queue to enter the Acropolis was huge so we booked our entry tickets whilst in the queue and then showed them to enter quicker. The Acropolis was amazing but don't spend long looking round because you don't get very long before needing to be back on the boat. We only had time to look around the Acropolis and have a drink in a bar before needing to return, so had we ordered food too, we would have missed the boat! We then had around a 30 minute boat ride to our 1st swim stops. Pool noodles were provided if required and the stop lasted around 30 minutes then back on the boat to swim stop 2. Again around 25 minutes swimming before the final boat ride back to the meeting point. It was a long day with not much time on Lindos, which was disappointing, but overall a fun day. We didn't book the tour with a buffet or Rhodes Beech visits so we didn't eat all day.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad to hear that overall you had a fun day with us. We would just like to clarify a few points for future guests. This is a full-day cruise aboard a traditional boat, and the journey along the east coast of Rhodes is part of the experience, rather than a fast transfer to Lindos. The program includes free time in Lindos as well as two swimming stops of approximately 30 minutes each, allowing us to combine Lindos, swimming and the coastal cruise within one day. Regarding food, the option booked did not include a meal. Guests are welcome to enjoy the many cafés and restaurants in Lindos or bring snacks with them for the day. Thank you again for joining us aboard Doukissa, and we appreciate your feedback.

Amazing Cruise
It was very well organised from start to finish, and the team was really nice and welcoming! I especially enjoyed the activities and the time we had to explore Lindos. The swimming spots were absolutely amazing, with crystal-clear and transparent water. I would definitely recommend ! Team Belkok Vlogs:)

Beautiful Lindos and swimming spots
It was a no-frills boat, plastic chairs on the upper deck and downstairs had a bar, inside and outdoor seating. Staff were friendly. Had to get on a small speedboat to get to the main boat as my starting point is at Faliraki beach. I liked that we had free time to do what we wanted in the Lindos. The two swimming stops on the way back were splendid (approx 25mins at each place)

Enjoyable boat ride and lovely place (Lindos)
Great value for money, the time given in the two swim spots was plenty of time. Plenty of refreshments on boat. If planning on going wear trainers, not sliders for walking around Lindos town as it’s walking up hill. Overall experience was excellent

Totally recommended

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Faliraki: Lindos Boat Cruise with Swim stops & Free Time: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rhodes.
How much does Faliraki: Lindos Boat Cruise with Swim stops & Free Time cost?
+
Prices start at $46 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 Faliraki: Lindos Boat Cruise with Swim stops & Free Time take?
+
Plan for about 7.5 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 Faliraki: Lindos Boat Cruise with Swim stops & Free Time worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 54 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 Faliraki: Lindos Boat Cruise with Swim stops & Free Time?
+
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 Faliraki: Lindos Boat Cruise with Swim stops & Free Time suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Faliraki: Lindos Boat Cruise with Swim stops & Free Time?
+
Around 19 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 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Faliraki: Lindos Boat Cruise with Swim stops & Free Time 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.
