Rhodes: A Greek Island Holiday Full of Sun, Soul and Discovery


Sun-drenched beaches, ancient ruins, medieval streets, and a warm, welcoming culture—Rhodes offers everything you could want from a Greek island escape. The largest of the Dodecanese islands, Rhodes blends deep history with laid-back island life, all surrounded by the shimmering blue waters of the Aegean.


Whether you're after days of lazy beach lounging, cultural sightseeing, or a touch of island-hopping, Rhodes delivers a diverse and unforgettable holiday.


Step Into the Past in Rhodes Old Town


Your journey begins in Rhodes Town, where history surrounds you at every turn. Within the medieval walls lies the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best-preserved fortified cities in Europe. Walk through the cobbled lanes of the Street of the Knights, explore the impressive Palace of the Grand Master, and discover hidden courtyards, charming cafés, and artisan shops tucked away in ancient stone buildings.


The atmosphere here is utterly enchanting—especially in the golden evening light, when the old stones glow and the streets come alive with the sounds of music, conversation, and the clinking of glasses at local tavernas.


Lindos: Where History Meets the Sea


No trip to Rhodes is complete without visiting Lindos, a dazzling whitewashed village topped by an ancient acropolis. Just an hour from Rhodes Town, Lindos is postcard-perfect, with narrow winding streets, bougainvillaea-covered walls, and views over a sparkling horseshoe-shaped bay.


Climb to the Acropolis of Lindos for breathtaking views and a glimpse into the island’s ancient Greek past. Afterwards, take a cooling dip at St Paul’s Bay, then linger over a lazy lunch of grilled fish and local wine at a seaside taverna.


Beaches for Every Mood


Rhodes is famed for its beaches, and there’s something for everyone. Families love the calm, shallow waters of Tsambika and Afandou, while sun-seekers flock to the vibrant beach clubs of Faliraki. For something more serene, head to Ladiko Bay or Anthony Quinn Bay, where rocky coves and turquoise waters create perfect conditions for swimming and snorkelling.


Many beaches are well-equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas, and you’ll find friendly beachside tavernas serving traditional Greek fare within easy reach.


A Taste of Island Life


Beyond its coastline and historic sites, Rhodes offers a taste of authentic Greek island life. Venture inland to discover traditional villages like Embonas, nestled in the mountains and known for its locally produced wines. Visit family-run olive oil farms, wander through citrus groves, or sip strong Greek coffee under the shade of a plane tree in a quiet village square.


Food is a real highlight on the island, with hearty, flavourful dishes drawing from Greek, Turkish, and Italian influences. Try slow-cooked lamb with herbs, dolmades (stuffed vine leaves), fresh seafood, and, of course, meze platters to share.


Day Trip to Symi: Postcard-Perfect Charm


One of the best things about a holiday to Rhodes is how easy it is to hop over to nearby islands for a day. Symi is a popular choice—and it’s simply stunning. Just an hour’s ferry ride from Rhodes Town, Symi’s harbour greets you with rows of pastel-coloured neoclassical houses rising steeply from the water’s edge.


Spend your day exploring the pretty harbour town of Gialos, browsing boutiques, and enjoying fresh seafood by the sea. If time allows, take a short ride to the Monastery of Archangel Michael Panormitis, one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the region.


The pace on Symi is unhurried, the scenery unforgettable, and the atmosphere delightfully authentic.


Halki: Peace, Simplicity, and Clear Blue Seas


For a quieter island experience, consider a day trip to Halki, reachable by boat from Kamiros Skala on Rhodes’ west coast. This tiny island is all about peace and simplicity—there are no crowds, no rush, just a charming harbour village, warm hospitality, and crystal-clear waters.


Swim in the calm bay, enjoy lunch at a waterfront taverna, and simply let the slower pace wash over you. Halki is ideal for those looking to unwind in a picture-perfect setting with minimal fuss and maximum beauty.


Your Rhodes Adventure


Whether you’re a history buff, a beach lover, a culture enthusiast or a bit of all three, Rhodes is the perfect Greek island for a well-rounded holiday. Its combination of lively towns, peaceful villages, stunning coastline, and easy access to neighbouring islands makes it one of the most versatile destinations in the Mediterranean.


Soak up the sun, explore centuries of history, eat exceptionally well, and let the relaxed rhythm of island life restore your spirit.
