Holidays in Rhodes mean a warm sea from May to October, a flight from Almaty with a stopover in Istanbul, Dubai or Athens, and resorts for every taste: from the noisy beaches of Faliraki to the quiet bays of the eastern coast. The time difference with Almaty is 3 hours in winter and 2 hours in summer: Greece changes its clocks (UTC+2 in winter, UTC+3 in summer), while Kazakhstan stays on UTC+5 all year round.
A trip to Rhodes begins with paperwork, and it is worth preparing it in advance. For citizens of Kazakhstan, the Greek side issues an entry permit according to the general Schengen rules.
A holiday in Rhodes for a Kazakhstani begins with a Schengen visa, which is arranged in advance through a visa center. The package is simple to assemble: an application form, photographs, confirmation of accommodation and ticket bookings, a certificate from work and a bank statement. Medical insurance is mandatory, with a minimum coverage of 30,000 euros. Processing usually takes from two to three weeks, longer in season. It is better to submit the papers one and a half to two months before departure from Almaty. Tours to Rhodes are often sold together with visa support, and this noticeably simplifies assembling the package. Check the exact requirements and deadlines with the operator before submitting.
The validity of the passport must cover the trip with a margin — at least three months after the date of return. A passport with a smaller margin will not receive a visa, and this is the main reason for refusals among tourists from Almaty. At least two blank pages are needed, and the document itself should be checked for scuffs and damage. If the passport is being replaced, the old one with valid visas is kept. Submission goes through a visa center, and personal presence is usually required to submit biometrics. The finished document is returned the same way, by courier or pick-up.
The journey to the Greek island takes a whole day, but there are several routes. There are no direct flights, and all options are built around a stopover.
From Almaty to Rhodes, people fly with a stopover through Istanbul, Dubai or Athens. The Turkish route turns out to be the shortest, but everything depends on the length of the stopover. The total travel time is from 8 to 14 hours, and this is without taking into account the wait at the departure airport. Through Athens, a domestic Greek flight is added, but the stopover is sometimes convenient. The Dubai option is convenient in terms of schedule, but lengthens the journey. Tickets for summer are snapped up starting in winter, especially for July and August. When transferring in Schengen, baggage is usually checked through to the final point.
The time difference with Almaty is 3 hours in winter and 2 hours in summer: Greece changes its clocks (UTC+2 in winter, UTC+3 in summer), while Kazakhstan stays on UTC+5 all year round. The difference is small, but the first day after the flight is still spent getting into the swing of things. To enter the rhythm more easily, it is worth sleeping on the plane, and upon arrival immediately switch to the local schedule. An evening departure from Almaty is convenient because the night passes on the road. In the morning it is already light at the destination, and the day is not lost. On the first day, it is better not to plan long trips around the island. Swimming and a walk by the sea help the body readjust faster.
Financial and everyday little things decide how calm the holiday will be. On the Greek island there are its own rules for money, communications and interaction.
Payments in Rhodes are in euros; tenge and rubles are not accepted anywhere here. It is more convenient to change money in banks and exchange offices in the city of Rhodes; the rate there is better than in hotels. Cards from Kazakhstani banks are not accepted everywhere: in large hotels and restaurants yes, in small taverns and shops often not. Cash should be kept on hand for markets, taxis and small purchases. ATMs are found in resort centers, but the withdrawal fee can be noticeable. Large banknotes are inconvenient to break in small establishments. It is reasonable to take part of the budget in cash already in Almaty.
Local operators sell tourist SIM cards with internet, and this is cheaper than roaming on Kazakhstani networks. Such a card can be arranged at a salon in the city of Rhodes or at the airport; a passport is required. Wi-Fi is available in hotels and cafes, but the speed drops in season. The language barrier is barely felt: in tourist areas they speak English. Russian is poorly understood on the Greek island, especially outside hotels. A few Greek words like a greeting and thanks win over the locals. A translator on the phone helps out at the pharmacy and at the bus station.
You can move around the island in different ways, and each method has its advantages. A holiday in Rhodes is calmer when you know in advance how transport and medicine are organized.
KTEL buses connect the city of Rhodes with resorts and beaches; the schedule is posted at stops. Tickets are bought from the driver or at kiosks; the fare is inexpensive. Car rental is convenient for independent trips around the island, especially inland, to villages and bays. To drive, an international driving licence or a new-format licence with Latin characters is required. It is better to book the car in advance; in August the choice dwindles. Roads on the coast are narrow, and parking at popular beaches is taken from the morning. It is worth taking full insurance when renting, without a deductible.
| Transport | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| KTEL bus | Cheap, goes to the beaches | Rare in the evening |
| Car rental | Freedom of route | Requires a licence with Latin characters |
| Taxi | Fast to the hotel | Expensive over long distances |
Pharmacies are in every town on the island, and pharmacists are on duty there, ready to help with advice. Medical insurance for a Greek trip is mandatory; without it, a visa is not issued. In serious cases, patients are taken to the hospital in the city of Rhodes, where there is a round-the-clock reception. Sunburn and overheating are the most frequent complaints from tourists in summer. Sunscreen, a hat and water solve half the problems. It is better to take a first-aid kit with the usual medicines from Almaty. Keep copies of the insurance policy on your phone and in your bag.
Visa and entry rules change: check with the primary source — the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Hellenic Republic, https://www.mfa.gr/en/visas/. The information on this page was checked on 10.09.2026.
Greek hospitality is pleasant, but it has its own limits. A few local habits will help you feel more confident.
In restaurants on Rhodes it is customary to leave 5–10% of the bill if service is not included. In taxis and cafes tipping is not obligatory, but rounding the amount up is appropriate. When visiting monasteries and churches, covered shoulders and knees are required, and for women a headscarf. On the island's beaches topless sunbathing occurs, but in the villages it is treated more strictly. Loud conversations in church and in cemeteries are inappropriate. Photographing people without asking is not advisable. Locals value calm, polite treatment.
Olive oil, honey, ceramics and natural sponges are typical purchases for tourists from a Greek island. Oil and honey are convenient to transport in factory packaging, ceramics in hand luggage. In summer on Rhodes there are strong winds, especially on the western coast. In winter there are rains, and swimming is comfortable from May to October. In the evening by the sea it is cool even in hot weather, a light jacket will come in handy. Windy days are better spent in the bays of the eastern coast.
The optimal months for holidays are May, June and September. The sea is warm, and the heat is mild. July and August are suitable for lovers of high temperatures.
With one transfer, the journey takes from eight hours. There are no direct flights. The time depends on the layover.
Faliraki and Kolymbia are suitable for holidays with children. There is a calm sea and a gradual entry. Lindos is more loved for its atmosphere.
Yes, the eastern coast is famous for its sand. Tsambika and Faliraki are the best examples. In the west, the shores are pebbly.
September on Rhodes is warm and sunny. The sea remains comfortable. There is almost no rain.
The old town of the capital and the acropolis of Lindos. The Valley of the Butterflies and the wineries. Sea trips to the neighboring islands.
Yes, the Greek side of the island is safe and calm. There are many hotels with pools. Beaches with gradual entry.
Greek cuisine with local products. Fish, cheese, olive oil and honey. Taverns are open until late.
A car helps you see remote coves. Public transport runs on the main routes. Renting is convenient for families.
The budget depends on the season and the hotel. May and October are cheaper. It is better to check exact amounts when booking.
Walks through the old town and dinner in a tavern. Sea trips at sunset. Live music in the bars of the resorts.
Olive oil, honey and local wine. Handmade ceramics and textiles. Greek cosmetics based on oils.
What travellers write afterwards: the hotel, the dates and what is worth knowing in advance.
kupila putiovku na Rodos, hotelis posmotret staruju chast goroda i kupnutsja v more, no po suti hoteli prosto smenit kartinku pered rabotoj, i agentstvo podsunulo variant s peresadkoj cherez Almaty, chto menja srazu naprjaglo. no pojehala i vrode ne zhaleju, more teploe, ulichki uzkie, nogi goreli ot kammnej, i odin raz ja zabyla kryshku ot kryshki nekrasivo skazala, no vse ravno horosho..
went to Greece, to Rhodes. took the tour at a local agency, everything was on point - documents, transfer, hotel. the flight was delayed by about three hours, but that's the airline already. Rhodes itself is small, we drove around the whole island on a rented scooter. the wind on the coast just blows you away, and in the mountains it's quiet and hot like in an oven. swam in a bay, the water is crystal clear, but the rocks at the entrance - that's a pain. one time we went into a taverna away from the tourist spots, the owner poured wine from a barrel himself, very heartfelt. at the hotel the food was okay, but the fruit was always unripe, some wodden apples came across. came back tanned and with a full bag of olive oil... wanted to go home even more
We went to celebrate our anniversary, just wanted to lie on the beach, so we picked Rhodes. The manager found a hotel right by the water and didn't make a mistake, though the breakfasts there were so-so, though the sea in March was cold, but we still walked on the sand barefoot. Four out of five, came back tanned and happy.
bought a tour to Rhodes at an Almaty agency and overall was happy, the hotel had a decent pool and the breakfasts were edible, though the wifi in the room only worked by the door and that pissed me off a bit in the mornings. the sea was warm even in january honestly i didn't expect it, walked around the old town for hours, came back tanned and mad that the vacation was over
we took the trip just to get away from these snowcity deadlines and not sit at home on maternity leave losing my mind, though my friend was raving about Rhodes last year already and I kept putting it off. and where does the manager come in, we flew with almost no expectations just to change the scenery, and in the end at sunset by the old port I clung so hard to that salty wind and the rocks that I rubbed my feet raw:)
Thank you for writing. We passed your words on to the whole team.
Bought a tour to Rhodes from an Almaty agency — Greeks somehow manage to smile even in winter, though the sea is cold and the wind knocks you off your feet. The funniest thing is that what I remember most isn't the Old Town, not the sunset by the fortress (though the sunset, yeah, is powerful), but how in December I walked through the empty streets of Lindos, went into a taverna — the owner poured me raki for free, and we spent about forty minutes silently watching the rain drum on the iron awning..
The trip to Rhodes in November turned out calm, without fuss and crowds. I walked through the streets of the old town, touched the rough stones of the walls and didn't even notice how I rubbed a blister with my new sandals. The sea is still warm, but the wind from the sea is already cool, so I swam only once. I took an excursion to Anthony Quinn Bay — beautiful, but the bus shook so much that I almost bit off my tongue. I liked that in the cafe they brought us a compliment from the establishment, small hot pitas with garlic. I ate them and thought that I didn't want to go anywhere else, but I already miss the smell of thymee. Rating five, although the local coffee in small cups turned out to be too strong.
We went to Rhodes because we got tired of the same thing every year, and then a friend sent me an option – seven nights, departure from Almaty. At the travel agency they processed it quickly, though the girl at the reception couldn't find my booking by surname for a long time (I had one extra letter in there). We took a not the most expensive hotel, in Ixia, because we wanted quiet, not partying until morning. They gave us a room on the second floor, the balcony faced straight onto the pool, and that turned out to be the main downside – kids yelling in the morning, and in the evening someone kept leaving wet towels on the sunbeds, drove me crazy. But the sea... the water is transparent, you walk in knee-deep and see every shell, I even cut my foot on one, had to put iodine on it. Breakfasts are monotonous: omelette, bacon, cucumbers, but the coffee is quite decent, I drank three cups. We booked the excursion to the old town of Rhodes separately from a street agent, not through the tour company – saved money, but the guide spoke fast and with an accent, I didn't understand half of it. Overall I came back happy, tanned, but the aftertaste from that balcony and the constant noise by the pool stayed, so a four. I won't go there again probably, or I will, but I'll pick a hotel farther from the water.
Hotel v Rodose zabroniroval cherez agentstvo v Kazakhstane, potomu chto blizhe k domu i Reutera ne nado, hotel start byl takoi - letim s zhenoi, hoteli na more no bez suety. Menedzher vse bystro sobral, za den do vyleta pozvonil i skazal chto transfer podtverzhden, ya dazhe ne veryu takim tempom. more otlichnoe, vody prozrachnye, no hotel nomer popalsya s vidom na bassein a ne na more, tak chto zvezdu snyal, pomeshat ne pomeshalo no osadok ostalsya. V obchem vernulsya dovolen, esli povtorno - to tolko cherez nih.
Vacation ruined all my plans because work went crazy, and I wasn't coping without a break anymore, so I picked a tour with this operator on a friend's advice. Rhodes greeted us with heat, a hotel with a sea view and breakfasts where I piled up a mountain of those little yogurts with honey every time, even though they got boring by the fifth day. Came back tanned, pissed off about the prices in a local shop and totally happy with the trip.
The trip to Rhodes was something. Flew from Almaty, everything went smooth, the manager organized everything fast, without extra questions. The hotel is good, but the AC blew right on my head, had to move the bed. The sea is crystal clear, went swimming every day, though the water was bracing. The food was decent, though a bit monotonous by the end of the week. Would go back there again, I liked it.
We went to Rhodes because we just wanted to lie by the sea, not run around on excursions, and it all came together almost by accident — a friend sent me the contact, that's it. The manager sorted everything out quickly, even helped with the hotel that I'd picked at random from a picture, and although it turned out that the wifi in the room only worked by the door and the breakfasts were a bit boring, the sea, the old town and wine in the evenings made up for it — it was exactly what I needed, came back happy and already thinking about next time.

родоста бардым, теңіз суы тұзды, аяғыма батқан тастар ауыртты. қонақүйде таңғы ас әдеттегідей, бірақ күн батқанда жағажайда отырып сыртқа шықпай қалдым
родоста бардым, аягымды сузга салып таң атқанша серуендедім, ол жақтағы ауа мен теңіздің иісі әлі күнге дейін есімде, бірақ кей жерлерде тау басында жел тым қатты соғып, шашымды бетіме жабыстырды, тіпті бір кезде күннен күйіп кетпейін деп қолшатырды ұстап жүрдім. тамақтары дәмді, әсіресе жергілікті балық пен зәйтүн майына малынған нан, ал қонақүйдегі бөлме тарлау болды, бірақ терезеден ашылатын көрініс бәрін ұмыттырды.
Thank you! We have taken note of your comment.
the apartment was being rented out and i had to put myself somewhere for a week, so i went to the agency in the neighborhood. chose Rhodes because everyone had been buzzing my ears off about Greece and i'd never been. the hotel they gave was decent, food was alright, though i didn't eat the fish – it smelled like a market in the heat. the sea was cold but i still got in and squealed like a little girl. i took the excursion to the old town, the stones there are warm from the sun and a cat was sleeping right on the shop window. flew back tired but thinking it wasn't for nothing. overall i liked it, only the ac in the room clicked loudly all night and i'd turn it off then turn it back on
Rhodes is really something, but the August heat was just killing. The manager did everything perfectly, but at the hotel the shower head was broken, had to wash however. Would go back there again, but only in May or September.
went to Rhodes with two others, booked the tour at a local agency. The hotel turned out okay, but the AC rattled like a tractor, had to sleep with the balcony open. Cleaning was every other day, and towels (well, that's classic) were only changed if you throw them on the floor. The sea is clean, rode donkeys in Lindos, it's slippery there, scary. Came back angry, tired and happy at the same time
Took a tour at an agency to Rhodes, just wanted to breathe out after the renovation, and chose by price so as not to get into credit. The hotel turned out okay, but it's a twenty minute trudge to the beach, though there was a bakery nearby where I grabbed a puff pastry with cheese every morning and then dragged it to the sunbed. The sea is clean, sunbeds are paid, and that little thing with the umbrellas annoyed me a bit, because they didn't allow putting your own. Overall the trip worked out, came back tanned and with a magnet that already fell off the fridge. Four, because the transfer there took three hours instead of the promised.
Thank you for your feedback. We have taken note of your comment and are working on it.
We went to Rhodes out of sheer misery — I came down with bronchitis in spring and the doctor said to go get warm, and pills were already as tiresome as cheap cheese. Found the hotel on the third try, but lucked out: five minutes to the beach and no need to guard a lounger by the pool from six in the morning. Went to the old town, came back happy, though the wind from the sea is icy, gotcold very fast, but bought souvlaki for three euros — and even my temper thawed out.
Went to Greece, to Rhodes. Booked the hotel through a local agency in Almaty, everything went smooth, the transfer met us, we got checked in fast even though we arrived at night and honestly I was already ready to sleep at the reception) The sea is warm, the air like milk, I kept stroking these white stones at the entrance to the water and couldn't stop, and in the evening at the tavern nearby they gave huge portions, I stuffed myself like it was the last time
