Last year we planned our vacation to Greece by the end of May and we had a really great time!
We chose to stay at Sentido Port Royal, a wonderful beachfront hotel with private beach and amazing services.
We had 10 amazing sunny days, with no clouds so we can enjoy the huge outdoor pools from the hotel, not to mention the great spa services and the delicious food from the on-site restaurants.
You can reach Kolymbia area from Rhodes town by public transport or with a private transfer arranged by the hotel, as we chose to do.
Weather for Rhodes in May is absolutely perfect for sunbathing and exploring the island!
It might be a little bit too cold for taking a bath, but with so little days of rain, it is still one of the best places to go close to Europe!
