Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese islands, close to the Turkish coast in the south-east Aegean. Its position gives it warmer nights and a warmer sea than the Greek islands further west. Our figures come from the Rhodes station, averaged over 1991 to 2020. In summer the afternoon reaches 30 °C in July and 30 °C in August, and the night stays at 25 °C, several degrees warmer than in Corfu. The sea rises from 20 °C in May to 27 °C in August and stays at 24 °C in October. Spring and autumn are gentle, 20 °C in April and 20 °C in November. The Rhodes station in NOAA's daily archive does not report rain on enough days for a reliable monthly total, so this page shows temperature and sea only.

Best time to visit Rhodes
A daytime high of 24 °C or more: May to October. With a sea of 22 °C or more as well: June to October. October is a strong late-season choice, at 25 °C with a sea of 24 °C. For a hotter summer and a similar sea, look across to Antalya; for a bigger island with gorges and mountains, Crete.
