Rhodes weather overview

Rhodes, the gateway to the Dodecanese islands in the southeast corner of the Aegean, claims to be the sunniest of the Greek islands and its 'summer season' extends well into October.

The sea stays warm enough to swim in until early November but winter, when it comes, is sharp, bringing a rapid rise in winds and fall in temperature.

Although the climate is still fairly mild in the winter, the strong winds bring a chill to the air and, even in the height of summer, their ferocity can be annoying to beach-bound holidaymakers, although they do make this one of the most popular Greek islands for sailors.

What to pack for Rhodes weather

Light clothing with a windcheater for blustery days is fine in the summer months. Take warmer clothing if you are travelling later in the year or in early spring.
