Rhodes is a greek island full of charm and character, from the winding cobboled streets of the Old Town to the whitewashed villages sitting above turqoise bays, it offers endless photo opportunties.
In this blog post, I’m sharing the 8 best photo spots I discovered while exploring Rhodes. Whether you're a photographer, content creator or just love finding beautiful places, these locations are perfect for capturing the island’s beauty.
1. Lindos Village
Lindos Village is one of the most picturesque places in Rhodes with its maze of narrow, whitewashed alleyways and rooftop terraces. From doors covered in flowers to hidden staircases and mosaic courtyards, there are photo opportunities around every corner.
Some of the best shots are found by just wandering around the streets and finding quiet corners. I'd recommend visiting early morning for the best lighting and before the crowds arrive!

2. Lindos Acropolis
Standing high above Lindos Village, the Acropolis offers some of the most breathtaking views in Rhodes. Not only are the ancient ruins photogenic from a distance, but from the top you'll also be able to photograph the columns, arches and the panoramic view over Saint Paul’s Bay.
For an epic view of the Acropolis standing above Lindos Village, stop at the Lindos Viewpoint, which is along the 95 road leading into Lindos from Rhodes Town. If you opt for a coach transfer to Lindos (like we did), they'll include a stop here!
3. Square of the Hebrew Martyrs
Located in Rhodes Old Town, the Square of the Hebrew Martyrs is a great little photo spot. What stood out to me here was the picturesque ancient building with a wooden door, framed by beautiful green trees.
The scene looked like something out of a fairytale, it was the perfect spot for a subject with a flowy skirt or dress!
4. Saint Paul’s Gate
On the waterfront is Saint Paul's Gate, a photogenic stone wall that acts as an entrance to the Old Town. Its an incredibly photogenic spot with the old stone architecture and view over the ocean.
The stone staircase looks beautiful in photos and the view from the top is worth checking out, as you can use the stone walls to frame your shots.
This spot works especially well during golden hour, when the low sun casts warm light and long shadows across the ancient stone.
5. Street of the Knights of Rhodes
This perfectly preserved cobbled street was once home to the Knights of Saint John and today it’s one of the most iconic places to photograph in Rhodes.
With its long stretch of high stone walls and arched doorways, it's a beautiful spot for both wide-angle shots and unique details.
Come early in the morning to capture the street without people and take advantage of the soft lighting. Leading lines work beautifully here and for a more cinematic look, you can also frame a subject walking down the street.
6. Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes
The Palace of the Grand Master is one of the most impressive landmarks in Rhodes and is a must-visit for photographers. It offers endless opportunities for photos, with grand arches, towering stone walls and fairytale-like courtyards.
The columns and archways are perfect for framing and if you’re visiting early or late in the day, you’ll get lovely contrast and shadows.
7. Kalithea Springs
Kalithea Springs is one of my favourite photo spots in Rhodes and the one I was most excited to photograph. The historic spa complex has elegant arches, intricate tile mosaics and whitewashed curved architecture.
There are photo opportunities throughout the entire complex, but my favourite was the domed pavilion with big arches, greenery and views of the shimmering ocean.
The clean symmetry, textured mosaic floors, and soft architectural lines create a minimalistic, romantic aesthetic that’s perfect for both wide shots and detailed photos.
Make sure to visit early to avoid crowds and don’t forget to explore both the upper walkways and the lower beach area for different perspectives.
8. Mandraki Harbour
Mandraki Harbour offers a classic coastal scene full of colour and character, with historic forts, the turquoise ocean and boats lining the harbour.
It’s especially photogenic during golden hour or blue hour, when the soft light reflects off the water and creates a warm glow over the stone walls.
For the best shots, walk along the promenade toward the lighthouse, or capture the row of moored yachts with the medieval Old Town walls in the background.
