Rhodes Old Town bars slammed for overcharging tourists

·

Rhodes’ picturesque Old Town is under fire for reportedly scamming tourists with overpriced drinks, according to numerous reviews on Google and TripAdvisor.

The dailymail.com reports that visitors describe being misled by unclear pricing and charged excessive amounts—particularly at bars using a boot-shaped glass known as the “Rhodes Boot” that holds up to two litres of beer.

Tourists say they often ask for small or medium drinks but are instead served the oversized “Boot” and billed up to €20, regardless of how much they consumed.

One venue has faced backlash over service and surprise pricing, including reports of a second, more expensive menu appearing at checkout. A reviewer claimed they were charged €32 for two cocktails listed at €20.

At another hotspot a visitor said they were served foul-tasting tonics believed to be watered down—costing €9.
