My take: I've tracked weather and crowd data for Rhodes across every month since 2020. The numbers below come from Open-Meteo historical averages (1990-2024), flight-price trackers from Aviasales, and my own trip notes. If a month looks "good" on paper but I'd personally skip it, I say so.

Greece · Real weather data · Updated April 2026

Best months: April, May, October — comfortable temperatures, lower rainfall, good value.

I went to Rhodes in May 2023 and was surprised by the lively local carnival in the Old Town, not the tourist crowds I expected. April averages 18°C with 35mm rain, May has 85% sunny days, and October costs €35-€50 for a basic hotel. I learned the hard way that June's "carnival" turns the ancient streets into a noisy, overpriced maze with minimal space for walking.
