Rhodes Travel Buddy

If you’re coming to Rhodes and feel like:

you want real, honest local insight
you have questions you can’t find clear answers to
you want to avoid tourist traps
you’d love to understand how life here really works
you don’t want to feel lost while planning

…then this is for you.

I’m Joosep. I live in Rhodes full-time and share what it’s really like here — the good, the bad, and the practical.

Some travellers don’t want a tour.
They don’t want a program.
They don’t want to be “handled.”

They just want clear, human advice from someone who actually lives here.

Rhodes Travel Buddy is online support only — a way to ask questions, get local insight, and plan your trip with confidence before you arrive and while you’re travelling — entirely online.

No tours.
No guiding.
No schedules.

Just real, personal help — so you can explore the island on your own, feeling informed instead of overwhelmed.

Rhodes Travel Buddy – Explore the Island With a Local Friend

Skip rigid tours and stressful driving.
Spend time with someone who actually lives here.

I’m Joosep – a full-time local in Rhodes and the creator of Looneytravels.
With this service, you’re not booking a tour or a guide. You’re simply spending time with a local friend who knows the island inside out.

You can book me for a few hours, a full day, or several days during your stay.

I drive. You relax.
We explore Rhodes at your pace.

No schedules. No pressure. Just your kind of day in Rhodes.

Rate: €30 per hour
(No packages. No pressure. Just time with a local.)

Don’t want to drive? I can handle the car for the day — you just cover the rental and fuel.

Why This Exists

Booking a holiday in Rhodes is easy.
Knowing where to go, what to skip, and how to avoid wasting days is not.

Most travellers:

❌End up in tourist traps

❌Waste time on places that look good on Google

❌Miss the beaches, villages, and viewpoints locals actually love

People kept asking me:

“Can you just show us Rhodes like a friend would?”

So that’s what this is.

Not a tour.
Not an excursion.
Just time with someone who lives here and knows the island.

What You Can Do With Your Travel Buddy

You decide the vibe. I adapt.

🗺 Plan Your Trip Before You Arrive

We can build a simple island game plan together:

✅Which beaches match your style

✅Where to stay

✅Day trip ideas

✅Local food spots

✅What’s worth skipping

So you arrive already knowing what fits you.

🚗 Explore Rhodes Without Stress

This is the biggest advantage.

I handle:

✅Local traffic

✅Island roads

✅Local driving habits and “Rhodes logic”

If you don’t want to rent and drive yourself, I can handle that too.
I’ll arrange a rental car and drive for the day — you simply cover the car rental cost and fuel.
No stress, no maps, no Greek traffic. You just enjoy Rhodes.

You:

✅Enjoy the views

✅Relax

✅Take photos

✅Change plans whenever you want

✅You stay present. I handle the chaos.

We can stop anywhere.
Turn around.
Take detours.
Stay longer if you love a place.

It’s your day.

We can:

For many people, this becomes the highlight of their trip.

What This Is Not

This is not:

❌A guided tour

❌A commercial excursion

❌A history lecture

❌A fixed route

It’s simply time spent with someone who lives here and knows the island.

You explore with me – not through me.

This was the highlight of our whole trip. It didn’t feel like a tour at all — it felt like hanging out with a friend who just happens to know every corner of Rhodes. We saw beaches and viewpoints we never would have found on our own, and not once did we feel rushed.

Driving in Rhodes looked terrifying to me. Having Joosep handle the roads while we just enjoyed the island was a game-changer. We stopped whenever we wanted, changed plans on the fly, and ended the day feeling relaxed instead of exhausted.
