Start planning your Rhodes stay

I'd choose your base before filling your itinerary. Compare where to stay, then explore hotels, apartments and villas. Check seasonal weather and options for staying without driving alongside your accommodation shortlist.

Prefer a complete introduction? Read the Rhodes travel guide; use this homepage to jump straight to individual interests.

Explore Rhodes by area

Browse Rhodes Town, Faliraki, Lindos, Pefkos, Ixia and Ialyssos and Kallithea for beaches, sights, food and stays in each area.

For initial orientation, the north combines town life and beaches; the east offers sandy bays alongside rocky coves; the northwest attracts windsurfers; and the south offers spacious shores with longer journeys.

Rhodes for every traveller

Explore ideas for families, couples and seniors. Match the pace to your group, checking actual walking routes, steps and uneven ground rather than assuming an area is accessible.

Find your Rhodes beach

Start with the Rhodes beaches guide to compare sand, pebbles, swimming entry and facilities. Choose Tsambika for a sandy beach day, Elli for town convenience or Anthony Quinn Bay for a rocky cove.

Agia Agathi Beach is wild, with no sunbeds or toilets; bring shade and essentials. Its only attraction is an inflatable water park. Glystra has sunbeds and a small boat-rental/watersports area. Calm-looking bays still require checking conditions.

Things to do and villages to explore

Discover Ancient Kamiros, Butterfly Valley, Kallithea Springs, Lindos Acropolis, the Palace of the Grand Master and Rhodes Acropolis at Monte Smith through the sights collection.

Explore traditional and lesser-known villages, or compare boat trips: private outings, catamarans, sunset cruises and snorkelling trips offer different days at sea.

Where to stay and eat

Browse accommodation guides, Faliraki hotel suggestions and hotel reviews. The Rhodes villas guide explains location, pools and privacy: a sea view does not guarantee an easy walk to the beach.

Find restaurants and tavernas across Rhodes, with dedicated collections for Rhodes Town, the Old Town, Faliraki, Lindos and seafood.

Getting around and preparing for your trip

Compare bus routes and fares, estimated taxi prices and airport transfers.

Use the planning collection for a seven-day itinerary, weather, packing and travel tips. Before arrival, check cash, connectivity, plugs, mosquitoes and emergency-number guidance.

Ready to book

Explore places to stay, boat trips and local experiences once your plans take shape.
