Holidays in Rhodes Town

Greece Main Guide | Rhodes Main Guide

Rhodes is the most popular of the Greek islands with tourists. It is also the sunniest, which may not be a coincidence! The climate is hot and dry in the summer and mild in winter. Rhodes has many excellent beaches, while inland the climate is cooler. The scenery is beautiful, with mountains and valleys interspersed with lush forests and olive groves.

Rhodes Town, capital of the island, lies on the northern tip of Rhodes. There are three distinct segments of Rhodes Town: the ancient city, the medieval walled city and the modern city. The ancient city is largely buried under later developments but you can see traces of it at the Archeological Museum. The medieval city, on the other hand, is recognised as a World Heritage site and is well preserved. The modern city is less attractive than the older parts, though the nightlife is good. There is a scenic train ride available form outside the town hall, which takes in many of the best sites.

Rhodes Town has no shortage of accommodation. Apartments, studios and a range of hotels are available to suit all budgets. Many hotels and complexes have their own swimming pool and other extras such as sports facilities.

You can find a range of cuisine on offer. Traditional Greek food is available in tavernas and restaurants, and all kinds of international cuisine is on offer. It is not hard to find Chinese, Italian, Mexican, Indian and European dishes.
