We will be on a ship in mid October and have an overnight stay in Rhodes. Can anyone give any suggestions on things to see / or do in Rhodes? I was hoping to find a golf cart tour (we did one in Rome and it was awesome!) for 2 couples. Suggestions? Also love good food and unique places to have a drink.

Where will you be? Rhodes city?

Your title suggests Rhodes is in Turkey, but it's in Greece. Since you're on a cruise, I will presume you will be in Rhodes City.

My mother and I greeted the year 2000 at a New Year's Eve party in Rhodes. It's been a while, but a few things are timeless so I'll focus on those. Of course you want to see the castle in Rhodes City. Stop by the harbor to see where the Colossus of Rhodes once stood. Take a trip back in time by visiting the old Town. If you want to get out and see more of the island, negotiate a deal for a tour with a cabbie and among other places, visit Lindos. I would skip the casino, that was disappointing.

As above. The entirely walled medieval city of Rhodos with the castle of the knights (and the seeworthy museum insight) is unique.
So is the ancient Greek temple of Lindos on the top of a rock and the scenic Greek village below.
You can spend hours and hours in the antique cobble stone streets and the good restaurants (like Nireas) along hem.
.

Thank you so much! Obviously I need education on where we are going! I love any recommendations!

Definitely check out Medieval Old Town and Palace of the Grandmaster. Marco Polo Mansion and Auvergne Cafe Bar are nice places for dinner and drinks.

Rhodes is a very beautiful and big island, if you know where you'll be in Rhodes for these 2 days it will be easier to see what to do. In any case I would definitely suggest seeing the center, it's beautiful. I think there should be a guide that covers the itinerary rhodes-turkey on ferryhopper, you can check that out for more ideas.
