As with all the Greek islands, the large island of Rhodes has plenty to offer all our guests. The island is large enough to have plenty of surprises in store, yet small enough that you can experience almost the whole island in one trip.
For a little more buzz and atmosphere, the capital, Rhodes, and its medieval Old Town is the perfect place to visit. Found in the northeast of the island, the charm and history of the town has been well preserved, with the modern additions of restaurants, bars, and shops, dotted around the higgledy-piggledy streets. One of the top sites, is the Palace of the Grand Masters. Visitors can explore this mighty fortress and its rich history. Within the complect, you will find the Rhodes’ Archaeological Museum, as well as various exhibitions and performances that are hosted through the year. Mandraki Port is fantastic to walk around, and you can visit Rhodes Aquarium or Elli Beach, both within easy walking distance of the town. Rhodes city is also the centre of the island’s nightlife. The huge casino stays open late into the night, and there’s clubbing and lively bars on Orfanidou Street and, in the Old Town, Miltiadou Street.
For nature lovers, there is plenty to do beyond the towns and cities of this island, with beaches and countryside to explore. The Valley of the Butterflies is one of the best-loved attractions on the island, though the best time to visit is in the summer months. The Epta Piges (Seven Springs) are another highlight, with peaceful wooded areas, a lake, and impressive waterfalls.
When it comes to beaches, guests are lucky to have the beautiful shores of Traounou beach so close by. Further south, there’s Prasonisi, a great beach for watersports, and the landmark lighthouse which sits right at the tip of the island. The beaches of the west coast also offer good conditions for sports like windsurfing.
