Welcome to Rhodes, the jewel of the Dodecanese islands, where medieval knights once roamed cobbled streets and azure waters lap against golden shores. This captivating destination offers an irresistible blend of rich history, stunning natural beauty, and authentic Greek hospitality.
The UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town stands as one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval cities, where 600-year-old walls encircle a labyrinth of narrow alleys and architectural treasures. Walk the legendary Street of the Knights, where crusading warriors once prepared for battle, and explore the majestic Palace of the Grand Master. Each civilisation—Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Knights of St. John, Ottomans, and Italians— each having left a distinctive mark on this beautiful island.
Boasting some of the Med’s most spectacular coastlines, the beaches of Rhodes offfer two distinct experiences: the calmer Aegean waters on the east coast and the windswept Mediterranean on the west. Lindos Beach, nestled beneath the dramatic Acropolis, provides crystalline waters and postcard-perfect backdrops. Anthony Quinn Bay offers intimate emerald coves, whilst Prasonisi Beach, where two seas meet, is a windsurfer’s paradise.
The island’s strategic position along ancient trade routes has created a unique culinary identity blending Greek traditions with Turkish, Italian, and Middle Eastern influences. Dine al fresco in the Old Town surrounded by medieval walls one evening, and discover hidden tavernas in a whitewashed village the next.
Aside from the more obvious attractions, traditional mountain villages like Embonas offer wine-tasting experiences, whilst the Valley of the Butterflies creates magical summer spectacles. Cultural enthusiasts can enjoy year-round festivals, including the Medieval Rose Festival with jousting tournaments and period costumes.
With excellent ferry connections to nearby Symi’s beautiful harbours and pristine Halki beaches, plus easy access to Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, Rhodes serves as the perfect base for exploring the eastern Mediterranean’s treasures.
