Spend about five hours fishing off Rhodes with Angelo, Vasili, and the captain, then swim and snorkel near Kallithea Springs. The small group, fresh grilled lunch, free drinks, and friendly crew make this a sociable sea outing, though fishing results and boat comfort can vary.

“Fun couple of hours day at sea fishing followed by swimming/snorkelling at a cove/caves. I personally didn’t catch anything but it didn’t spoil it.
