The 15 Fishing Trips in Greece That Earn Their Price

1.Makarounas Fishing Boat Trip with swimming stop and BBQ on board

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 831 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $78Our pick

Review of Rhodes’ Makarounas fishing trip, with hands-on fishing, cave swimming, BBQ lunch, drinks, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“It’s a relaxing few hours out on the water but the fishing is so so. We stopped in 3 places which is where I think the boat stops each time - a few bites and 3 tiny fish caught. The many fish on the wire in the photos is not necessarily what has been caught that day! Lunch was fine - a well-cooked bbq by the captain - who was a very nice man. The younger man came across as both annoying and insincere in how he communicated with everyone. It was an ok day.”
