A Lazy Mediterranean Day: From Mandraki Harbour Through Rhodes’ Turquoise Bays.

Highlights
Outing Highlights
Three signature bays on one easy day
The itinerary links Kallithea Bay, Afandou Bay and Anthony Quinn Bay, giving multiple opportunities to swim, sunbathe and photograph some of Rhodes’ most celebrated coastal scenery.
Crystal-clear swims and snorkeling among the rocks
Expect long, unhurried swims in turquoise water and the chance to snorkel among rocky outcrops at the stops — the cruise is designed around time in the sea as much as time on deck.
Greek buffet lunch and onboard facilities
A Greek-style buffet is served on board during the extended stop at Afandou Bay; the vessel also offers an air-conditioned indoor lounge, onboard restroom facilities and a bar with drinks and snacks available for purchase.
