Exploring Rhodes Town on a budget and finding €2 BEER! 🇬🇷

[@vladp7405]

I was in Rhodes this October. Right after my arrival I spoke to some local people and they said: Never eat in the Old Town of Rhodes. If you go outside the Old Town you'll get much better, authentic food and for less money. And they were right...

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Hey Vlad. Opinions vary, we know places in Bradford that are better than Leeds, but it all depends on how far you are willing to go. A lot of people are limited. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

[@wescooley34]

Yep i got ripped of for drinks at that parrot place avoid

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Did they overcharge you Stuey? We're always very careful when it comes to offers and make sure they know exactly which we mean when we order. Don't get us wrong we've had places elsewhere in the world try and pull a fast one but we've made sure it's been corrected as we can't stand it when places try and diddle us. Sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience.

[@wescooley34]

@Parks Travel Guide yeah how about €50 for 4 orange juices and a beer and the place had a few meatheads watching over customers

[@ParksTravelGuide]

@@wescooley34 Whaaaaaat!!! That's enough to make anyone weep. Sounds like that was a real set up...but if you're in that situation with eyes on you then I guess there's little you can do. We got done over on one of the trips to Rhodes years ago for a medium boot of beer when I asked for the one in a glass. I got bored of arguing on that particular visit. You definitely live and learn

[@martinosborne2842]

[@scottreid1028]

Really appreciate the video you legends. Bring on the drunk historic tours! 🎉 I’ve learnt one bit of Greek for my travels.. “tha íthela na miloúsa elliniká” = I wish I spoke Greek 😂

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Hey Scott. This was a couple of years ago but glad you've still found it useful. We actually didn't know if we could continue filming as the cocktails hit Becky harder than we thought. As we were only there for the day we continued anyway as we knew we couldn't re-do it and somehow pulled it off 😆. That's better than the first random sentence of Greek I learnt which was 'May I take your goat for a walk'. Thanks for watching Scott and hopefully you'll find some more inspiration on our channel 🍺

The old town has a heart and so does Lindos

Absolutely right Stix. 2 must visits in Rhodes. Sadly we didn't have time on this trip but plan to re-visit and cover Lindos in a future vlog once we have some time

Thanks very much Daniel. It honestly means the world to us as small content creators. Rhodes is absolutely stunning and if you get bored you can do the reverse trip that we did to Turkey.

Hey Patric! Everywhere has gone up in price recently and Greece is no exception.

Thank you for sharing your experience and the content is what I do to know. Searching for your videos about Athens, Mykonos and Santorini. I'll be visiting these places in July. Have a great summer!

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Hey John! Santorini won't be ready for quite a few weeks yet so I'm not sure if you'll catch it before you go. We've still got to edit Istanbul, the trio of local islands to Santorini (Naxos, Paros and Ios) and then Santorini itself. Basically, it's the 3rd vlog waiting to go on the bench for editing. We've been to Mykonos before but haven't filmed there. It's as expensive (if not slightly more) as Santorini though. Athens is a place we want to get out of as soon as we arrive, Piraeus where the port is located is a sketchy area so be careful down there. We were recommended not to go out after dark when we stayed in Piraeus itself a number of years ago. Fingers crossed you'll catch Santorini but if we can help with anything in the meantime then drop us a message on our Facebook or Instagram and we'll do our best to help you out. Take care John and thanks for watching! John & Becky

[@alanmac63]

Hi... Just to say...took your advice from watching your video a few weeks ago... We have just been to visit the Hermes restaurant a day or so ago..... We got the Mixed Grill to share for two... Superb and washed down with a couple of pints . Good value and my wife who would normally struggle with the amount of food... amazed me by almost managing her share ... She commented on how easy it was to eat ..and reckoned it was because there seemed to be little or no greasiness to the meat served.. Could recommend to anyone who likes a good mixed Grill..or normally likes Kebabs .. well done on providing a great review 👍

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Hey Alan! Thanks for letting us know. We only recommend places we've eaten ourselves and if it passes our test then it's fair play. We normally don't tell them until the end either so it doesn't change what they do. We'd been to Hermes a couple of times on previous trips so we knew we wanted to show them off. Hopefully we get a baseball cap next time! We could really smash a mixed grill right now but it's some pizza's instead from a local takeaway back home in Leeds. Thanks again for getting in touch and be sure to keep up to date with us on our Facebook and Instagram groups under Parks Travel Guide as KZbin is a bit behind. Take care Alan and weekend our best to your good lady 🙂

I would not recommend the place in Agisandrou Street, six years ago we ordered a Ceasar Salad, but it was not even close to a Ceasar salad, i think they mixed up the order, but when we addresed that it waasnt a ceasar salad, they said, that how they make it, and when we said, that it wasnt a ceasar salad, they got quite unpleasent, and started talking about us, to the rest of the staff, and we kept getting these looks, like we werent welcome anymore, so we have avoided this place ever since...

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Some places can be a bit hit and miss as to quality as they are mainly catering to the disposable day tourists. We only eat in certain locations and usually have a drink first to see what food is coming out of the kitchen. We don't blame you for taking your money elsewhere if the staff did that.

Ey up Kezza! Not stayed in Pefkos but a friend of mine did last year and she enjoyed it. It's a pretty chilled and quiet resort but also possible to walk to Rhodes town along the coast apparently. Greece holds a special place in our hearts and we're really jealous you're going and we're not. We're going to a wedding in Italy in September and then it's preparing for 'Destination Unknown'. Greek measures with no food meant those cocktails hit Becky hard. She was a bit better after we'd eaten though xx

Great video guys,me and the wife have never been to Greece so will be going in the near future . Rhodes old Town looks beautiful .If going to Rhodes on holiday which resort would you recommend to stay at ,preferably a quiet ish place ?Thanks .

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Hey Jason. I've only ever stayed in Faliraki in Rhodes many years ago. A lot of people like Pefkos (walkable to/from Rhodes town if you don't mind doing that) or the village of Afandou for their laid back vibe. If you do stay in Rhodes then be sure to visit the postcard perfect area of Lindos. Thanks for getting in touch! John & Becky x

Hey Barbara. Thanks very much for your lovely words. We're the same off camera as we are on it, just normal everyday people trying to give some good advice. We appreciate you spending the time watching us and hope you'll be tuning in when we start our 6 month series called Destination Unknown at the end of November. We've passed through Blackburn once but next time we'll let you know so you can get the kettle on! Your support and words are greatly appreciated from our end and not something we take for granted like a lot of the big content creators on here do. Take care for now! John & Becky x

What month did you go to Rhodes? Is September a busy period?

[@ParksTravelGuide]

@@digitalcreatorblueprint This was filmed during a day trip in June. We've been in September and the weather is still nice and it can be reasonably busy. If the cruise ships are in then it's very busy.

[@jason-uk]

Another great informative video thanks

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Now then top fan Jason. Glad you enjoyed it! We're on 'summer break' now but you never know when we'll pop up again with something a little less 'abroad'.

Really good 👍 there from 1st Nov

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Have a great time! Prices have gone up a bit over the last couple of years but still great value for money.

[@andrewtilford6294]

We were in Rhodes Old Town today - our lunch cost a fair bit more than yours did though!

[@ParksTravelGuide]

It's generally an expensive town Andrew. We always try and do our research before we go somewhere as money is generally tight. If you decide to return make sure you check it out though!

[@ritamccourt4673]

Did the rhodes trip very interesting....did u not have a beer in one the boot shaped tumblers lol x

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Hey Rita. I have done previously, although they generally charge what they want when you have one in those and I got bitten by that last time. I stick with what's advertised now so bars can't do it! X

[@Hyperion1040]

It sounds like very windy day in Rodos :)

[@ParksTravelGuide]

From what we can remember. Haha. The sea was rather choppy on the way back.

[@Hyperion1040]

I hope you had great stay i Rodos!

[@ParksTravelGuide]

@Hyperion1040 we were only there for the day but hope to visit again this year as we really enjoy it.

​​@@ParksTravelGuidet was your review that made us look for it, mentioned you when ordering

[@ParksTravelGuide]

@kevinwilson852 that's fantastic to hear. We love hearing about people's trips. Hopefully the cocktails are still as potent and the sun is shining for you.

[@kevinwilson852]

​@@ParksTravelGuideyes its roasting and did stagger a bit afterwards, cocktails cost €7 now but still worth it, staff so friendly and Cypriot so had to get some halloumi

Rhodes the best island in Greece n one the best in the world....Also the food the best in the world.

You're right! It's stunning. Greek food is one of our favourites! Thanks for watching

[@emilia3767]

This was a lovely video! My partner and I are visiting Rhodes town/Faliraki for a week in October (not high season, but according to my research most places should still be open except clubs, which I am too old for anyway). Are there any restaurants (we are big meat lovers, my partner loves hamburgers fyi) or places that you know of, which we MUST visit during our stay? :)

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Hey Emilia. It's been many years since I was in Faliraki (2002 if I remember correctly) so I can't speak much for the resort, although its less rowdy than it was during it's prime as a raucous 18-30's area. October is the last month of the season and you'll probably find a few places closed after the majority of the tourists leave at the end of September. As for restaurants we only ever eat at Hermes when we are in Rhodes town, purely for the price and also the quality. If you have a look at TripAdvisor you'll probably find some good recommendations, but as always take take them with a pinch of salt because some people give a 5* rating if a waiter makes a fuss of them. Hope you have a great time and thank you for watching!

[@TAGMATAGMATON]

You know, locals still go out for coffee, dinner or lunch they go nightclubbing and have fun in general while most of the tourists are gone! So don't worry about anything! Just enjoy your staying there. And a tip from a greek: Feel free to use your hands when eating grilled meat (souvlaki, chops,stakes, fries etc). It is tastier that way and wont'get any strange look from arround because that means you 're enjoying your food! And that makes people happy to see! Ya sou!

[@hilarygamble4238]

Hi guys! Going to Marmaris soon and would like to do this day trip. How far in advance do you need to book it as we are not sure yet what day we want to go?

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Usually a couple of days in advance minimum as the ferry can get very busy. If you WhatsApp, Facebook message or email Mares Tours they will be able to advise you of availability. Ideally as far ahead as you can manage

[@hilarygamble4238]

Thank you. Will get onto it.

[@adambrownnov2002]

What was the bar called with the cheap drinks, going to Rhodes in 11 days and would love to check it out!

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Hey Adam. If you mean the potent cocktails we believe it's called Afroditi Venus at the top of the main street. There are a few all competing with each other price wise and the street is called Orpheus. You'll probably recognise it when you see it as it's literally on the junction. Hope it helps!

[@mattcropley6255]

Guys where would you recommend to purchase lira from in Marmaris? Iv never withdrew money from ATMs over there as iv been concerned about the charges. Any help is appreciated and thanks for a great video, we might even try the trip to rhodes ourselves next week and will definitely be using the recommendations of the excursion company you have mentioned as iv already had a look on the website. Thanks guys

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Hey Matt. There are several change places dotted around and we've never heard of any issues. We use the one on the main roundabout by the bazaar which is next to a tourist shop. You can't miss it when you are down there. Obviously work out beforehand what you should be getting by looking at the rate so you can't be swindled. We used our Revolut card over there for purchases and also to withdraw cash free from ATM's (although some did charge but Halk Bank was free). We're glad you've gained a lot of information and we hope you have a great time!

[@ParksTravelGuide]

[@stevecaldwell9001]

You forgot to mention that you need your passport when going from Marmaris to Rhodes and vice versa

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Hi Steve. We didn't think that people would need reminding that when travelling to another country that they would need their passport. This is also included in the documentation when you book your ticket.

Cheers mate, any recommendations for the place you went for food?

[@ParksTravelGuide]

We've always gone for the mixed grill with a Greek salad but have also had the Gyros once. Cheapest beer in Rhodes town and it's a decent pint too in all fairness. It's a great family who will happily recommend you their best gear depending what you fancy...the village sausage is a belter. Be sure to say Hi to them from us if you go!
