An interesting and educational attraction to while away a couple of hours during a warm sunset overlooking the ocean. We arrived at about 7pm with a very friendly welcome and... read more two very comfortable chairs overlooking the astronomy garden. The garden has a number of displays including a huge sundial, planet information and interesting background details.

Whilst sat overlooking a great view we enjoyed designer cocktails which are well priced and you have the opportunity to eat while there.

At 8pm we enjoyed a visit to the telescope with a chance to see Jupiter, Saturn and some far-flung nebula the name of which I can’t remember with a very knowledgeable guide who obviously is well into astronomy. It is worth this rour to see the laser on the telescope which is stunning. There a is small and very reasonable charge for this tour and well worth it.

An enjoyable way to pass away a couple of evening hours and well recommended.

  Wow !

Just wow !! I would recommend that experience to anyone !! I don’t know anything about stars or solar system but it was so nice to... read more see a Saturn !! That kind of things you see on a internet, but it’s better to see in real !! The cocktails were nice as well, we’ve asked to change something and it was no problem to the bartender ! I would highly recommend that to anyone !

  I love astronomy and cocktails so this was such a fun night out.
I use a wheelchair but can go up some stairs so could see out of the... read more telescope and staff brought me a chair.
Such a friendly place, fantastic cocktails and really chilled out evening. Observatory was fascinating. We went back for a second time.
Would suggest a taxi as it's a steep hill and not lit up.
We highly recommend!

  This is a lovely and magical location in the very top of the hill overlooking the sea. The views are magical and the drive up to the place is very... read more special. He staff are all nice and friendly and we had a lovely cappuccino.

Unfortunately it was last day of the season and it was cloudy so the observatory was closed. We walked around the garden and read all the information on the solar system and stars.

I will come back next time. I reccomend this place!

  We had an amazing experience at the Astronomy cafe: a must visit! The location is incredible, at the top of a hill with an amazing view. It’s a nice walk... read more from Faliraki center, or you can take a taxi and you will be there in 5 mins.

We booked the ‘night observation’ for just 8 euro’s per person at 21.30. Because of Covid the groups are small, which is very nice because it feels very personal and you will have a lot of time to look through the telescope. We saw amazing things, stars millions of light years away! During this observation Christina explained everything very well and enthousiastic.

After the observation we told them that we really wanted to see a/some planet(s). We had to wait until 23.00/00.00 before Saturn and maybe Jupiter would be visible. In the meantime we had a cocktail en enjoyed the nice terrace. At 23.00 the owner took us to the second telescope for a private observation. The highlight of the evening: we saw Jupiter and Saturn! So cool!

Really recommend going here when you visit Rhodos! Very cool experience, really friendly people and a beautiful location!

  The observatory is located at the edge of Faliraki, with some spectacular views over the famous Anthony Quinn bay and the sea. The cafe has a relaxing atmosphere, most of... read more the cocktails and cakes have astronomical-related name. The snacks we had were simpe but otherwise ok. The waiter was very kind.

I do have, however, mixed feelings about the visit to the observatory. We entered the dome in a group of 10 people, which was comfortable. Our assistant, a young lady, pointed the telescope to the Moon first, and this is where my problem appeared.

She adjusted image sharpness to her eyes, but didn't allow me to use the telescope's focuser to adjust focus to MY eyes as image was blury (out of focus). She claimed that if focus is good for her eyes, it must be good for my eyes, too. No, it is perfectly normal to have different eye sharpness, especially as both of us wear eyeglasses. After a short argument, she called the owner, who kindly allowed me to use the focuser and get as sharp image as current weather conditions (seeing) allowed.

We spent approx 35-40 minutes in the dome and had a glimpse of Moon, Jupiter and Saturn with one magnification (67x) only. I felt the need for larger magnifications especially on the Moon.

Entrance to the observatory cost 5 eur per person which is otherwise reasonable.

  I love to learn and see new things. This evening was very interesting. Had fun time in the cafe with a friend and also got to learn and experience night... read more sky through a telescope! The owner was very knowledgeable. Definitely worth the visit!

  Informative and good value presentation up in the observatory. Cocktails were lovely, we went for the specials and would recommend!
