Location:
Full of beautiful beaches and idyllic countryside, Rhodes packs a lot in. From the capital city in the north to Prasonisi Beach in the south, this island has some truly special places to discover.
The city of Rhodes is known for its architecturally impressive Old Town. As one of the largest and best-preserved medieval towns in Europe, and a UNESCO World Heritage site, it’s well worth seeing. The main attraction is the Palace of the Grand Masters, a mighty former fortress and citadel which is partially open to the public. Look out for a variety of events, exhibitions and performances hosted at the palace throughout the year.
You can learn more about the history of Rhodes at the Archaeological Museum, also located at the Palace of the Grand Masters, or visit the nearby Street of the Knights. Landmarks such as Evangelismós Cathedral, Rhodes Acropolis, Suleman Mosque and the Roloi Clock Tower can also be found around town. You will get a fantastic view from the top of the latter.
Other notable sights around the island include the Lindos Acropolis, the ancient ruins of which are situated on the clifftop at Lindos, and the ancient town of Kameiros on the western coast. A number of ruined castles and monasteries are dotted about too, adding yet more of historical interest. The Tsambika Monastery enjoys a wonderful outlook on what’s considered to be the best sandy beach on the island, while Kritinia Castle is just one which boasts a dramatic sea view.
South of Rhodes, the resort of Faliraki has many family-friendly attractions. As well as a water-park, go-karting track and the Astronomy Café, there’s a very long (and often busy) beach. The Toy Museum, near the village of Archipoli, is an interesting place to take the kids, and free to visit. The Rhodes Bee Museum is the only one of its kind in Greece, combining fun and education for all.
West of Faliraki, the Valley of the Butterflies is stunning – the forest is inhabited by the enchanting creatures, which you might see swarm into the valley in summer. The Epta Piges, or Seven Springs, offer another magnificent sight. Here you swim in the lake, picnic in the woods or dine in the waterside restaurant.
Rhodes town, nearby Ixia and, further south, Lindos, offer the island’s best nightlife. Some of the clubs and bars in Rhodes Town are pretty full-on. If you prefer something more sophisticated, Lindos is the place to be – the luxurious rooftop restaurants overlooking the Lindos Acropolis are sure to be a highlight of your trip.
If you want to get sporty, activities ranging from horse-riding to tennis and golf are easy to find, as are water-based pursuits like scuba-diving. Boat trips and catamaran cruises another great way to appreciate this idyllic island.
