Best time to visit Rhodes

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.

Visa & Customs

South Africans who wish to visit Rhodes or anywhere else in Greece will need a Schengen visa to do so. Schengen visas can take some time to process, so it is best to apply for them weeks in advance. To apply for your Schengen visa, you will require many documents, including proof of flight tickets, proof of accommodation in Greece, personal bank statements and more. Passports may not be older than 10 years, must have 2 blank pages and be valid for at least 3 months beyond your date of departure from Greece.

For more information, please contact the Greek Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa.
