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!

  Great evening, the viewing in the observatory was great, very informative and at 8 euro each well worth it. The cocktails and bar also fab gre

  Wow what an experience!! The staff were welcoming, we came about 45 mins before our booking so ordered cocktails and walked around the grounds reading all the facts and looking... read more at the visuals. The actual telescope viewing was incredible, very informative and just mind blowing. We saw some clusters, Saturn and Jupiter and I can’t believe it only cost €8 euros each! Just brilliant, if you are heading to Rhodes, definitely squeeze the Astronomy Cafe into your trip!

  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.

  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 !

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