The island of Rhodes is especially great for visiting as it has the longest summer season in all of Greece. The best time to visit Rhodes is between the months of April and November, while there is plenty of sun out and the city is bustling with happy people sightseeing and taking in the sights. Between the months of December and March is considered low season, and there are less ferries available from the Greek mainland to the island. It is, however, not cold at all during this time and visitors can enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere.
