About Rhodes

Rhodes Holidays

Rhodes (Rhodos or Rodos in Greek), lies between Crete and the near East in the Aegean ocean. Rhodes is the biggest of the Dodecanese islands. Named the sun island or island of light there are hardly any days when the sun doesn’t shine.

Those looking for an idyllic Greek island escape will be perfectly served by Rhodes holidays, exposing visitors to a long list of stunning sandy beaches, historical and cultural sites, exciting party vibes and some beautiful landscapes ready to explore. Located in the Dodecanese, this is one of Greece’s most revered islands, attracting families in search of the fulfilling beach lifestyle, and young crowds hunting down vibrant bars and clubs right by the sand.

Beyond the scenes of beach indulgence and drinking as the sun sets, you’ll discover an old world theme to much of Rhodes, particularly in its namesake, Rhodes Town. Meanwhile, charming and authentic villages punctuate the lush woodlands and rocky mountains that populate the inner reaches of the island, towering above the crystal clear water and soft sand, allowing for a diverse experience throughout your holidays to Rhodes. Tranquillity is never too far away despite the party vibes, Ialyssos is where you can really immerse yourself in traditional Greek culture along the coast, kicking back and indulging in some fantastic Greek cuisine.

With its subtropical climate and over 3000 hours of sun per year you can be guaranteed a good tan on your holiday. Rhodes is one of the most popular holiday islands in Greece – even Greeks themselves come to Rhodes for a holiday from the mainland.

Rhodes today offers the visitor a plethora of all year round leisure alternatives, covering all types of tourist activity. The natural beauty of the island, the monuments from her long and often turbulent history, a rodosmopolitan character, as well as the warm hospitality generously offered by the people of Rhodes, and an excellent tourist infrastructure boasting the most modern hotels, all captivate the visitor.

The modern city of Rhodes is one of the biggest municipalities in the Greek islands, with about sixty thousand permanent residents. It is the financial and cultural centre of the southeastern Aegean, and successfully combines a lively present with a rich historical past.

There are many reasons why Rhodes is one of the most popular resorts in the Mediterranean: the natural surroundings (crystal clear seas, many parks and recreational facilities), the bright sun and the warm hospitality of the islanders themselves.

The city has an excellent tourist infrastructure and offers a wide variety of entertainment (night-life, sports, cultural events, and day trips to wonderful Lindos and the neighboring islands like Kos, Patmos, Karpathos, Kalymnos and Leros). Finally, visitors have the opportunity to learn something of the eventful history of the city, visit the museums or go sightseeing.
