Ways to save
- Visit in shoulder seasons (April-May, September-October) for hotel rates around €50-80/night, compared to €100-200+ in peak summer.
- Utilize the local bus system for inter-village travel, costing €2-4 per ride vs. €20-30+ for a taxi.
- Eat at local tavernas and souvlaki shops away from tourist hotspots; a meal can cost €8-15 vs. €20-40 in central Rhodes Town.
- Look for accommodation with self-catering facilities to save on breakfast and some meals; grocery shopping can save €15-20 per day compared to eating out for all meals.
- Explore the medieval Old Town and beaches which are free attractions, saving on paid tours or specific entry fees for historical sites.
- Bring your own water bottle and refill at fountains or buy large bottles from supermarkets (€1-2 for 1.5L) instead of single-use bottles from kiosks (€0.50-1.50 each).
