Whitewashed towns and turquoise bays
One of the most popular and sunniest Greek islands, holidays in Rhodes allow you to explore sugar-cube villages, inspiring history and stunning architecture, alongside lively nightlife, designer shopping and an array of pebble and sandy beaches. It’s the ideal holiday destination for families and couples, and there are plenty of water sports and recreational activities for those with a sense of adventure. Kalithea offer peaceful hideaway coves perfect for escaping the tourist trail, while Ixia is closest to Rhodes Town and filled with cultural highlights.
Rhodes Town is home to plenty of tavernas and alfresco restaurants serving Souvlaki and fresh seafood, alongside boutiques and bars. The town offers both sandy and pebble beaches which are ideal for swimming, snorkelling and paddling.
Rhodes provides an element of luxury displayed in its cultural delights and rich inspiring history. Ancient ruins date back to Trojan times, Ottoman minarets remember Turkish rule and terracotta churches recall the Byzantine era. Lindos has its own acropolis perched on a hillside with panoramic views of the island, alongside towers and temple remains, while inland is a wealth of beautiful pine forests and olive groves just waiting to be explored.
The island’s capital, Rhodes Town is an authentic walled city holding legends of knights over two centuries, and the harbour area was once home to one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Colossus. Traditional villages and mountain hamlets dominate the centre of the island, and Apolakkia is not to be missed. Here you will be greeted by a monastery, whitewashed villas, ancient windmills and a lake ideal for a refreshing swim. If you fancy a day trip, the neighbouring island of Symi is easily accessible via boat from Rhodes Town and home to a pretty port and harbour area.
