Location
About the surrounding area of Kalathos AsproThe third-largest of the Greek islands, ever-popular Rhodes is popular with good reason. With countless beautiful beaches, quaint villages and idyllic countryside, there’s so much to discover both in and beyond its enchanting, eponymous capital.
The city of Rhodes is known for its impressive Old Town. One of the largest and best-preserved medieval towns in all of Europe, it offers an appealing blend of old and new. The Palace of the Grand Masters, a mighty former fortress and citadel that forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage site, is one of the big draws. While only part of this vast palace is open to visitors, it’s an impressive sight. The palace also hosts various events, exhibitions and performances, so it’s worth checking what may be going on when you’re there.
You can uncover the history of Rhodes at the Archaeological Museum, or for a more contemporary take, try The Museum of Modern Greek Art. Landmarks such as Evangelismós Cathedral and the Rhodes Acropolis can also be found in town, along with churches, mosques and many more architecturally noteworthy buildings.
Other historic sights around the island include the Lindos Acropolis. The ancient ruins are situated on the clifftop at Lindos, and also incorporate a medieval castle. Rhodes town lays claim to the world’s first landscaped park, Rodino, which provides a calm alternative to the bustling streets of the Old Town and around the port.
If you’re looking for some nightlife, Rhodes town, nearby Ixia and Lindos offer a good range of clubs and bars. In the capital, Orfanidou Street is known to some as ‘Bar Street’, while it’s a little more sophisticated in the luxurious rooftop restaurants overlooking the Lindos Acropolis. Even areas less developed for tourism will usually have a few beach bars – ideal for a quiet drink in a wonderful setting.
South of Rhodes, the resort of Faliraki is good for family attractions. There’s a well-organised, if often very busy, beach, as well as a water-park and go-karting track. About 30 minutes’ drive west, the Valley of the Butterflies offers unforgettable adventures amongst nature. The Epta Piges, or Seven Springs, are another magnificent sight – make your way to the lake via a tunnel, or have a picnic in the woods.
There are numerous walking and cycling routes you can follow to discover more of the island’s natural beauty, or how about taking a catamaran cruise or boat trip and seeing it from the water? Sporting activities are easy to find too, with horse-riding, tennis, golf, sailing and bungee jumping if you fancy it. Rhodes is also full of fantastic spots for scuba-diving and offers opportunities from beginner level upwards.

The Island/Getting There
Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese Islands of Greece. It’s got a lot of history as it’s been invaded a lot by the Persians, Carians, Ottomans, Italians, and Germans.
Average temperatures go from 20’c in April up to 30’c in July/ August and down to 20’c in November. With an average of 85 rainy days a year they get sunshine for around 280 days.
The island is 90km long with Rhodes town at the northern tip. The airport (Rhodes International Airport "Diagoras") is also in the North (15km from Rhodes Town). Charter flights and Easyjet operate direct from the UK all season and out of season (Nov-March) you’d need to fly via Athens.
The Acropolis – The Acropolis that sits high above the town of Lindos is absolutely amazing and is a must see if you’re looking for some of the best views in all of Rhodes. One thing I should mention is that the climb up to the acropolis requires you to be somewhat active and able to climb stairs, lots of them. The trail begins through town and slowly but surely starts to get steeper as you climb the hill towards the acropolis. Once there, you’re rewarded with historical buildings dating back to 300 BC. Our Villa Corteau sit just underneath the ruins.
Rhodes has over 40 beaches, here are a few:
- Anthony Quinn’s Bay – Anthony Quinn’s bay is one of the most beautiful bays. The bay is located 17km (10 mi) south of Old Town Rhodes and offers some incredible photo opportunities to say the least.
- The beach at Anthony Quinn’s bay is one of the best beaches in Rhodes. Get there early if you want to snag a sunbed and umbrella and enjoy wading around the bright blue and green water. Amazing!
- For the best views of Anthony Quinn’s Bay from above, head on up to the windy road that leads up the hill just north of the bay and you’ll find a spot where you can sit and enjoy the virtually 180 degree views of Rhodes and its coastline.
- Tsambika Beach (or Tsampika) – Tsampika beach is located 30km (18 mi) south of Old Town Rhodes and is a great place to spend the day in the sun. Note: Beware there is a small section where nudists congregate on Tsampika beach
- Lakido Beach – Just opposite Anthony Quinn’s Bay is Lakido beach. It’s literally 3 minutes walking distance from Anthony Quinn’s bay so visiting both beaches in a day is totally doable. As a matter of fact, I would highly recommend visiting both if you get the chance
- Faliraki Beach – One of the most popular tourist spots on the island of Rhodes. It was known for 18-30’s holiday in the 90-2000’s but I don’t think there is that market so much now. It is quite commercialised now there are water sports and a few diving schools.
How to reach Rhodes island
There are two ways to reach Rhodes Island: either by flight or by ferry.
By plane: If you don’t want to lose time you can fly to Rhodes (RHO) from Athens. The flight lasts 1 hour. Many direct flights also operate from many European countries, so it will not be difficult to arrive there.
By ferry: If you choose to travel from Piraeus to Rhodes with a ferry, it will surely take you much longer but travelling with a ferry in the summer nights can be pretty enticing! The port of Rhodes is located in the southern part of the island and offers bus services to the town centre. You can easily book your ferry tickets using the link below or the booking engine.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesJust minutes from the beach, you have the ideal family villa right here at Kalathos Aspro. This stylish house is well equipped with satellite TV, Wi-Fi and comfortable bedrooms, and it’s even better outside with a barbecue and fantastic swimming pool for an early morning dip. The kids are sure to love the tempting cuisine and laid-back beach life that this incredible island is famous for.
If they want to get out and get active, Rhodes is the perfect place. There’s tennis, 5-a-side football, mini-golf, snorkelling, surfing, scuba-diving and a whole lot more. Hiring bikes and exploring the countryside is a great experience for kids and adults alike.
There are numerous excellent beaches they will love. Lindos, Vlycha and Kalathos are all nearby and appealing, and along the east coast there are quiet spots like Kolymbia and Agathi. Just outside Falaraki, where there is a huge, well-organised beach that gets super-busy and super-hot, there’s the pretty Anthony Quinn Bay.
The Marine Aquarium in Rhodes town is a fascinating place to spend an hour or two, and brimming with exotic aquatic life. Alternatively, head to Apollonos, just south of Faliraki, for the Astronomy Café, where an astronomy-themed garden and observatory will captivate stargazers. There are plenty of other places in this area where it’s all about the fun – Faliraki’s big water-parks and the Kartodrome go-karting track are surefire hits.
To immerse yourselves in nature, don’t miss Epta Piges, or the Seven Springs. The beautiful waterfalls and lake, as well as the charming woodland setting, make this a truly magical place. Another must-see is the Valley of the Butterflies, a nature reserve that’s perfect for a family day out, and especially enchanting in summer when you have the best chance of seeing the colourful butterflies swarming into the valley. Nearby, there’s the Farma of Rhodes wildlife experience, where kids can pet, feed and get close to animals including llamas, kangaroos, ponies and ostriches.
Rhodes is full of family-friendly, and often family-run, restaurants, and there’s plenty for kids to look forward to beyond the familiar children’s menu staples. The sweet treats include honey and cinnamon doughnuts (loukoumadhes) and chewy, mastic-loaded ice cream (politiko pagoto). The city of Rhodes has more eateries than anywhere else on the island, and it’s not hard to find the dishes they know and love alongside local favourites. There’s much more to enjoy in the city, including multiplex cinemas, great shopping and the peaceful Rodini Park.
