Rhodes Town comprises two distinct towns – the Old Town with its Knights’ Quarter, Grand Master’s Palace, Street of the Knights, and nearby Acropolis of Rhodes; and the New Town with its vibrant Platia Kyprou and streets lined with shops, jewellers, bars, and clubs.
Choose between affordable apartments, charming rural guest houses, luxury beachfront retreats and great-value all-inclusive hotels. With dry, hot summers and hours of sunshine, it’s no surprise holidays in Rhodes are popular.

Things to see and do in Rhodes
Lounging on the island’s pristine beaches and swimming in turquoise waters are just a few of the things to do on holiday in Rhodes. When you’re not soaking up the sun, there’s an array of quaint villages, bustling resorts, and fascinating attractions to explore.
Rhodes is awash with ancient ruins and intricate architecture. On the Lindos coast, you’ll find the island’s most famous landmark, Lindos Acropolis atop a cliff; complete with the Temple of Athena Lindia and the 14th-century Castle of the Knights of St John.
Water sports are abundant across Rhodes’ vast coastline, with activities like parasailing, scuba diving, jet skiing, and windsurfing. Or how about a dip in Kallithea Springs? This ancient thermal spring is famous for its therapeutic properties and tranquil setting.
Food and drink in Rhodes
Rhodes is packed full of charming cafes, buzzing bars, and cosmopolitan restaurants. You’ll find traditional cuisine across the island, alongside Italian, Chinese, and British fare.
A holiday to Rhodes wouldn’t be complete without trying some delicious mezze, especially when it includes Pita, Tzatziki, and Keftedakia (traditional meatballs). Seafood is a must-eat too, as fresh catch is offered in most restaurants and tavernas.
Whether you’d prefer a colourful cocktail from a beachfront bar, an ice-cold beer from a traditional Greek pub, or a trendy spirit from the Lindos Ice Bar; there’ll be a bar to suit you. And if you’re holidaying with little ones, we offer a range of hotels with family-friendly evening entertainment.
