Introduction Edit

About one million people visit Rhodes every year, which is said to be Helio’s island - the Son of the Sun. In average it has sun 300 days per year. Rhodes offers a little bit of everything – city, country side, beaches and peaceful nature. The east side has the best beaches with less wind. Kallithea is the closest beach to Rhodos (city). In the very south of Rhodes you find the beach Prassonisi which is well visited by surfers from all over the world. On the west coast you find the surroundings a bit rockier. You will not see as much tourism but many villages that are well worth a visit.

 

Rodos (city) is filled of ancient remains and if you manage to escape the tourist streets you might think you have traveled back in time. In the old city you can find the Palace of the Grand magister, a cathedral and a wild mix from different time eras. Rodos (city) is listed on the UNESCO world heritage list. Well outside the city you will see mountains and beaches with crystal clear water and amazing beaches.

 

June, July and August are the most popular holiday months of Rhodes. However, visiting Rhodes in the late spring and in the early fall is also recommended. Just remember that the amount of restaurants, shops and other tourist activities might be slightly limited compared to the summer months.
