Rhodes

When to go

Late spring and early autumn are particularly good for beaches and exploring the island. Summer is hot and the main resorts are considerably busier.

Things to see and do

Explore the medieval old town of Rhodes and the Palace of the Grand Master, visit Lindos and spend time on the island's beaches.

Practical tips

Visit historic sights in the morning during summer. Check bus connections or rental-car options in advance for exploring the island.

Getting there and getting around

Rhodes has an international airport and a major ferry port with connections to other Greek islands and the mainland.

Where to stay

Rhodes Town is practical for history and transport. Lindos suits atmosphere and beaches, while other resorts offer quieter beach holidays.

What to try

Try Greek mezze, fresh fish, pitaroudia and dishes made with local cheese and honey.
