Rhodes

How to get around

Flights to Rhodes land at Diagoras Airport in Paradisi, 14 kilometres from the historic centre of the beautiful city of Rhodes. You can reach the main towns of the island by taxi, by bus or by hiring a car at the airport. You can use cars (the roads are almost all paved), taxis (not particularly expensive) or buses to get around the island. The bus station in Rhodes is located near the Nea Agora (New Market). Another alternative is hiring scooters and mopeds.

What to see

The first must-sees are in the old town of Rhodes with the Archaeological Museum, the Palace of the Grand Master and the nearby Acropolis. Then there's the new city full of shops and restaurants, with the Orthodox Cathedral and the stalls of the New Market. The island offers many other interesting options: the beautiful village of Lindos with its very ancient and beautifully preserved Acropolis; the Valley of the Butterflies, for the deepest immersion into nature; the amazing Thermal Baths of Kalithea.

The best beaches of Rhodes

There are numerous beaches scattered around the island, all amidst breath-taking natural settings. One of the best is Anthony Quinn Bay 15 kilometres from Rhodes, with rocky seabeds and deep green water; Faliraki Beach in the municipality of Kallithea offers opportunities to go snorkelling and enjoy other water sports; the beach of Lindos is perfect for families thanks to the shallow and calm waters; Prassonissi Beach is excellent for those who love windsurfing.

Dining and entertainment suggestions

The main entertainment areas are located in the new part of Rhodes along the waterfront; here you can enjoy aperitifs on the beach, disco pubs, lounge bars and discos open all night long. There are also many restaurants where you can enjoy the typical dishes of Greek cuisine, both in the new part and in the old town. Famous nightlife locations frequented by famous international DJs in the summer are also in Kalithea, Faliraki and Lindos. Don't miss the Rock Festival in Lindos in July.
