Fees · Destination Guide
Mediterranean cavern dives, warm-water coves, and UNESCO streets in one island week
Key fee: Climate Crisis Resilience Fee
Varies by accommodation type and season; many 2025 peak-season hotel categories range from EUR 2 to EUR 15 per
night
Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Rhodes does not have a Bonaire-style universal diver tag. Budget instead for accommodation climate-resilience fees, attraction tickets, operator dive fees, and any special guided route or Marine Park product. Greek underwater antiquities rules are strict, so access to protected archaeological areas is controlled through authorized routes and guides rather than a casual permit bought by individual divers.
