What about half term and school holidays?
Late October half term still offers good weather for a family break. Pack a mix of summer clothes and a light jacket for cooler evenings. Rain is more likely than in September but seldom ruins a day – Rhodes weather in October averages around 50–70 mm of rainfall spread over the month.
Is Rhodes still hot in October?
Yes, it’s still warm but not blistering. Daytime temperatures feel like a British summer, making it ideal for exploring and swimming. Cooler evenings mean you’ll want a light jumper or cardigan.
