🍳 RHODES COOKING CLASS

Rhodes Cooking Class is about experiencing Greek life through food, not just following recipes.

These small-group experiences are relaxed, welcoming, and designed to make visitors feel like guests rather than customers. Everything happens at a calm, local pace — cooking together, learning traditional techniques, and sharing food the way it’s done in Greek homes.

This is one of the most enjoyable cultural experiences on Rhodes if you’re curious about Greek cuisine beyond tavernas.

Waterhoppers Diving School (Pefkos)

Why I recommend them:
Waterhoppers is the most established and trusted dive school in Rhodes. They’re professional, safety-focused, and fantastic with first-timers — while still offering top-level dives for experienced divers.

Founded in 1978 and operating in Rhodes since 1990, they’re the first PADI 5-Star IDC centre on the island and the largest dive centre in Greece. Their international instructor team is experienced, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do — which shows the moment you arrive.
