A Rhodes photoshoot walks the medieval streets of the Old Town, the Street of the Knights and the harbour, and takes in Lindos and Kallithea Springs. Plan the rest of the trip with Greece Tours.
Where do you shoot in Rhodes?
In the medieval Old Town of Rhodes, along the harbour, at the springs of Kallithea, on the beaches and rock formations of Faliraki, in the village of Lindos below its acropolis, and at Profitis Ilias church above Anthony Quinn beach.
Kato Petres gives a moody frame with the deep blue Aegean behind.
The Old Town carries a medieval feel that reads as another era in photographs.
The town route sits at Rhodes Old Town walking tour.

One Rhodes studio specialises in flying dress photography and rents the dresses.
It also shoots bridesmaids sessions and proposals.
Drone footage is offered as an add-on.
What is the Kallithea Springs shoot?
A session at the springs of Kallithea, where the architecture, the rocks and the Aegean meet, and at the nearby Profitis Ilias church, which looks over Anthony Quinn beach.
Anthony Quinn Bay lies on the east coast between Faliraki and Ladiko.
The bay also appears on the kayak routes.
The paddling side sits at Rhodes kayak tour.

Lindos gives the acropolis above the white village.
The island page sits at Things to do in Rhodes.
What is the Old Town and harbour session?
The medieval Old Town of the city of Rhodes is a World Heritage Site.
The Knights of St John ruled the island from 1310 to 1522 and built the town that stands today.
What is a Lindos photoshoot?
A session in the white village of Lindos below its acropolis, 40 kilometres south of Rhodes town, where the Doric temple of Athena Lindia from about 300 BC crowns the rock above the houses.
The village faces the fishing village of Charaki across a large bay.
St Paul’s Bay lies south of the acropolis.
What is the premium Rhodes photoshoot?
Both run as private sessions.
Group size sets the package on the island.
Can you combine a photoshoot with a tour?
The tour covers the island’s highlights by electric bike.
Where does a Rhodes photoshoot walk in the Old Town?
Along the Street of the Knights, through the gates of the medieval walls, around the Palace of the Grand Master and down the lanes of the Turkish and Jewish quarters to the harbour.
The Old Town is the largest inhabited medieval town in Europe and stands inside four kilometres of walls.
The Street of the Knights runs uphill in plain stone, with the inns of each language of the Order along it.
The lanes below it are narrow, arched and shaded through the day.
What is the Palace of the Grand Master frame?
A stone fortress-palace at the top of the Street of the Knights, with round towers at the gate, a wide forecourt and vaulted halls inside.
The forecourt is open, so a group has room in front of the towers.
Light falls on the facade from the west in the late afternoon.
A Rhodes photoshoot uses the gate as the last frame of the medieval route.
Where does a Rhodes photoshoot use the harbour?
At Mandraki, where the two bronze deer stand on columns at the entrance, three windmills line the mole and the fortress of Agios Nikolaos closes the point.
The Colossus is said to have stood at this harbour mouth.
Boats to Symi and Lindos leave from the same quay.
The mole is open and windy, which suits fabric that moves.
What is the Lindos session?
A session in the white village under the acropolis, in its stepped lanes and courtyards, with the rock, the bay of Agios Pavlos and the sea below.
The acropolis holds the temple of Athena Lindia on the cliff.
The village bans cars, so the lanes stay quiet.
The drive from Rhodes Town takes about an hour down the east coast.
What is the Kallithea Springs shoot?
A session at the restored thermal spa on the east coast, with domed rotundas, mosaic floors, colonnades and palm trees above a small rocky bay.
The building sits directly over the water.
The mosaic pavements give pattern under a standing subject.
The site charges entry and closes in the late afternoon.
What does a Rhodes photoshoot find at Prasonisi?
The sand spit at the southern tip of the island, where two seas meet on either side of a narrow strip that joins the mainland to a rock.
The western side takes the wind and the waves, the eastern side stays calm.
The spit disappears under water in winter.
The drive from Rhodes Town takes about an hour and a half.
Which Rhodes photoshoot spots stay quiet?
The moat walk around the walls, the Jewish quarter lanes, the ruins at Kamiros on the west coast and the pine valley at Petaloudes.
The moat is grassed and runs the whole way around the Old Town.
Kamiros holds a Doric town laid out in terraces above the sea.
Petaloudes is shaded, with wooden bridges over a stream.
When is the light best for a Rhodes photoshoot?
Early morning on the Street of the Knights and in the Old Town lanes, the last hour at Mandraki and Lindos, and the middle of the day inside the moat and the arcades.
The east coast takes the sunrise, so Lindos is bright from early.
The west coast takes the sunset over the sea.
Summer light is hard from mid-morning until late afternoon.
How long does a Rhodes photoshoot run?
About an hour inside the Old Town, longer with Mandraki added, and half a day when the route goes to Lindos or Prasonisi.
The Old Town is walkable end to end.
Lindos needs a car and an early start in summer.
Kallithea sits twenty minutes down the east coast.
What do you wear to a Rhodes photoshoot?
Flat shoes for the cobbles of the Old Town and the steps at Lindos, light fabric for the wind at Mandraki, and a second outfit when the route adds the coast.
The Old Town streets are laid in round stones that slide underfoot.
Lindos has steep lanes and steps up to the acropolis.
Plain colours hold their tone against the honey-coloured walls.
