Rhodes in October
It’s been a while since the last time the Greek Tourism Board in collaboration with Austrian Holidays organised a press trip to the Greek islands. Luckily, we got back on track.
In the middle of October, a little before the summer season ends for good, a group of journalists and I flew from Vienna to Diagoras International Airport in Rhodes island on a press trip organized by the Greek Tourism board and Austrian holidays. It was a short trip, but we had a wonderful time.
Rhodes in October
For anyone who cannot make its mind, has doubts and is not sure whether a trip to Rhodes in October is a good idea (weather-wise) let me tell you this: it is a very good idea. I still remember the moment I stepped into my hotel room, went straight forward to the balcony to check the view and saw people swimming in the sea. It’s good that I witnessed this with my own eyes, so that I know where to fly to next October. For when I wish to catch the last rays of summer sun, I will make sure to check the direct flight from Vienna to Rhodes island with Austrian holidays.

The best time to visit Rhodes
Rhodes is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Greece. The island has everything that a traveller could ask for – beautiful beaches, picturesque villages, ancient ruins, and stunning natural scenery. However, the best time to visit Rhodes depends on your interests and what you are looking for.
If you are looking for a relaxed vacation, with fewer crowds and more pleasant weather, then October is the perfect month to visit Rhodes. During this time, the island experiences fewer tourists, making it easier to find accommodations and restaurants that suit your budget.
The temperature during October is pleasant, with average highs of around 24°C and lows of 18°C, making it ideal for exploring the island. Additionally, the sea temperature is still warm enough for swimming and other water activities.
Moreover, during October, you can enjoy the stunning autumn foliage on the island. The trees shed their leaves and create a beautiful mosaic of reds, yellows, and browns. If you are a nature lover, you will find Rhodes during October to be a perfect escape.
Overall, the best time to visit Rhodes depends on your preferences. If you prefer a more relaxed and quieter vacation, then October is the best time to visit Rhodes.

A visit to Symi island
We spent the last day of this press trip in Symi island. We went to Symi for just one day. What a beautiful day that was it! And so much laughter! I had a swim in Pedi, a small traditional fishing village. And afterwards, we had a wonderful lunch in an amazing beachfront taverna. This lunch felt like it was our way to say farewell to the Greek summer for 2021. Tip: If you go from Rhodes to Symi, it’s worth staying longer.
