Itinerary
❤️ Morning Dip: Our first stop is the world-famous Anthony Quinn Bay. Known for its deep emerald waters and pine-tree backdrop, it’s the premier spot for snorkeling in the Dodecanese. Dive into the crystal-clear sea before the crowds arrive and see the vibrant marine life that made this bay a Hollywood favorite.
❤️ 3 Hours of Lindos Magic. As we glide into the bay, witness the most famous view in Greece: the white-washed houses of Lindos stacked beneath the 4,000-year-old Acropolis. ✦ The Acropolis: Hike to the ancient Temple of Athena for panoramic Aegean views. ✦ The Village: Wander through the labyrinth of white-washed houses that give Lindos its famous 'Santorini-style' charm. ✦ Direct Docking: We land you right at the heart of the village, giving you maximum time to explore.
❤️ Afternoon Relaxation: On our return leg, we drop anchor at the legendary Tsambika Beach. Famous for its 800-metres of fine golden sand and shallow turquoise water, it is the perfect place for a relaxing afternoon swim. The water here is always warm and calm, making it a favorite for all ages. We provide pool noodles and floats for a completely relaxing experience.

Amazing experience with half price tours! The day in Lindos was lovely & pickup/drop off was very smooth. Staff on board were lovely! 😁
Perfect day cruise to lindos, it was wonderful !
Had a nice day. Lindos is really beautiful. What they did cleverly was get everyone at Lindos to remove all the stuff from the places. This can be left in a special room if you want. And that gives everyone a chance to get a place on top of the deck again.
Fantastic experience with Half Price Tours. Booking, notifications and reminders were all professional, easy and polite. The day itself ran seamlessly, from the pick up to the boat trip, the bays chosen for a swim, and the time spent in Lindos - a solid three hours. The boat was large, spotlessly clean and comfortable too, so you can relax and enjoy the beautiful coastline. Five stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Beautiful scenery fantastic trip enjoyed swimming in the sea and exploring Lindos
Amazing trip from start to finish Highly recommend it
Boat with good structure, good bar, everything well explained. Optimal stops for swimming.
Fantastic day from start to finish. Excellent communication and well organised by Half Price Tours. Emailed about transfer as our hotel wasn’t listed and they got back to us straight away with timely confirmation messages and check ins throughout. Stopped at Anthony Quinn Bay first for a swim then onto Lindos. The walk up to and admission cost into the Acropolis was well worth it. A bit of a wander back down through the white washed streets with beautiful pebbled pathways and stopped for lunch on a roof top terrace. Stunning swim stop at Tsambika Bay on the way back. Top tips: if you’re going to the Acropolis, take water and wear comfortable sturdy shoes, it can be a bit slippy in places on the way up and back down, consider a change of clothes (shorts/top/dress) so you can change from swim wear if you prefer, take goggles or snorkel mask as the water is crystal clear and Tsambika Bay was great for seeing fish. All in all a fantastic experience and great way to spend a day in Rhodes.
Fantastic boat trip to Lindos. Really enjoyable, staff were friendly and made sure we were safe when we stopped to swim in the sea. Lindos was lovely stopped for a chill at the beach and got a bite to eat. Admission fee was a good price for such a full day out, we were picked up just outside our hotel by minibus and taken to the boat pickup point and same for our journey back. Highly recommend and look forward to returning next year 😀
We booked Lindos Relaxing Cruise with ‘Rizos cruises’ expecting a comfortable and enjoyable day at sea. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing from the moment we boarded. While I understand that the boat has a maximum passenger capacity, it was packed to the point where people were sitting shoulder to shoulder with virtually no personal space. In the intense heat, this made the environment uncomfortable and far from the relaxing cruise that had been advertised. We were travelling as a party of nine, including my 2 neurodivergent sons. As soon as we boarded, it was clear that the overcrowded conditions would quickly become overwhelming for them. As their mother, I had to make the difficult decision to leave the boat before it departed, rather than risk them becoming highly distressed while out at sea with no way to leave safely. We explained the situation to the staff, hoping they would show some understanding or empathy. Instead, they were dismissive and unhelpful. We were simply directed back to the office, where we were met with the same attitude. Initially, we were even told they could not arrange transport back to our hotel. Despite not taking the cruise at all, we were refused any refund or even a partial refund. This experience was incredibly upsetting and has resulted in our family losing a significant amount of money. What disappointed me most was not just the overcrowding, but the complete lack of compassion and customer service when we were trying to do what was safest for our children. I would not recommend this cruise. If you are travelling with young children, anyone who is neurodivergent, or simply expect the “relaxing” experience advertised, I would think very carefully before booking.
