A unique destinationThe word Oil in translation is the container you use to place or store Oil. The beautiful beach got this name because it was a commercial point for loading and unloading olive oil.

Local fishermen have found around the area of ​​Ladikos several clay containers that come from shipwrecks that traded in that area. It is located right behind Anthony Quinn surrounded by caves.

In this Bay there are thousands of small fish and you are invited to use the complimentary snorkeling gear, which is at your disposal on the boat. You may also wish to throw bread at the fish that will congregate near by to eat. So far, no fish has ever eaten any of our guests. Not a single bite. The bay is named after the famous Mexican actor, who starred in the International Blockbuster film, Cannons of Navarone in the 1960s. When Quinn came to Rhodes to shoot the film, he was blown away by the beautiful Bay and asked the Greek state If he could buy it. An agreement was never carried through however and after years of controversy, the Court ruled that it was unenforceable. So Quinn, never got his Bay. Despite this, the locals name the beach Anthony Quinn in his honor. you ready for a day of adventure and beauty?

Mandraki Harbour (pass by)

The cruise's starting and ending point is the beautiful Mandraki Harbour. This was the ancient ‘sheep pen’, the name in Greek being mandri, a name often used for small, encircling harbours. Mandraki was one of the five ports of ancient Rhodes. It was the naval port and was known as the ‘small harbour’ as opposed to the ‘great harbour’, the present Commercial Harbour. Legend claims that the harbour entrance was spanned by the legendary Colossus of Rhodes, but there is no proof of this. Today twin columns from the Venetian era, bear statues of Rhodian deer, a stag and doe, stand on either side of the harbour gap. On the opposite side, lies the 15th-century Fortress of Agios Nikolaos. Named after the island's patron saint, St Nicholas, this massive fortress rose from the humble origins of a small church, transformed into an imposing bastion by the Grand Master of the Knights of St. John. Sharing this scenic view are three marvellously preserved medieval windmills!
