Overview

Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese islands and the top packaged-tour destination in Greece. For decades a favorite destination of Scandina- vians, Germans and Brits, Rhodes has developed one of the best hotel infrastructures in the country and offers holidaymakers top quality accommodations and service.

The main attractions of Rhodes are undoubtedly its medieval old town and the almost 100 km stretch of grey and white sand beaches that span the entire eastern part of the island; from Rhodes Town to Prassonisi, at its southern tip. The ancient acropolis of Lindos is one of the best preserved ancient sites in the whole country and the village of Lindos is as charming as they come.

The Highlights

• The Old Town of Rhodes, a UNESCO-protected and perfectly preserved medieval city
• Lindos, a romantic town with a fine sandy beach and beautifully preserved Acropolis
• The valley of the butterflies in the mainland, during the spring
• The grey sandy beaches along the east coast
• The modern resort hotels in the western suburbs of Rhodes Town, mainly around Ixia

We Recommend

• Visit the Palace of the Grand Master and its museum.
• Walk around the Old Town, especially early in the morning, before the crowds descend on it, for a feel of what life might have been like during the 13th and the 14th centuries
• Hang out at the beach in the resort towns of Ixia and Faliraki for great people-watching
• Drive to the desserted beaches of southern Rhodes, from Prasonisi to Plimiri, for almost complete isolation and quiet.
