Drinking Water

Drinking Water

Whilst the tap water in Rhodes is probably safe to drink, most people drink bottled water which tastes much better and the mineral content is more agreeable. In the heat it's important to keep hydrated, especially after alcohol the previous day. Drink lots of bottled water.
