Greece has always been a magnet for travellers, drawing them in with its picturesque landscapes and its laid-back lifestyle. Among the places that the locals are proud of is the island of Rhodes. Rhodes is bordered to the northwest by the Aegean Sea and to the southeast by the Mediterranean Sea. It is the largest island in the Dodecanese, an archipelago of twelve Greek islands close to Turkey. This Paradise Island has a lot to offer in terms of places to visit and things to do. You’ll certainly never be bored. Let’s explore the top 10 things you must do in Rhodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f Everything about the gem of the Cyclades<\/strong>. If you’re considering a getaway to Santorini, here are our top recommendations<\/a><\/strong>, along with a selection of hotels with private pool<\/a><\/strong> for a truly magical experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before we start our list of essential things to do in Rhodes, here are a few tips for your upcoming journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Compared to other Greek islands, except for Crete, Rhodes is large. However, getting around is fairly easy. There are numerous means of transport available. From the capital, Rhodes Town in the north, two bus companies serve the east and west of the island. Buses can be caught near the new market (Agora Nea)<\/a><\/strong>. The most convenient option is to rent a car, or even better, a scooter (usually for less than 20 euros a day). This will especially help you explore the secluded villages in the south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many of the Dodecanese islands, including Rhodes, can be reached from the island itself. If you’re planning a day trip, your options will be limited. Two ideal choices are Symi <\/strong>and Halki<\/strong>. Two others that require more travel time are Kos<\/strong> and Leros<\/strong> (at least 4 hours for the latter, making your visit brief). Symi Island is probably the most accessible. It’s opposite the Turkish coast and looks like a little slice of heaven, especially when the setting sun illuminates the port of Gialos\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n In our opinion, it has to be the town of Lindos<\/strong>, located about fifty kilometres south of the island’s capital. With its white houses and ancient history, it embodies the beauty and tranquillity of Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Rhodes, you’ll mainly find large resort hotels offering high-quality services. Among the most renowned establishments, there’s the Atrium Palace Thalasso Spa Resort & Villas<\/a><\/strong>. Located in Kalathos, on the island’s east coast, it boasts spacious rooms and a variety of pools to cool off in. The food there is plentiful, fresh, and local. A similar hotel near Rhodes Town is the Atrium Platinum Luxury Resort Hotel & Spa<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re looking for something more intimate with sleek and refined decor (but still boasting a lovely pool), then you’ll probably love Casa Cook Rhodes<\/a><\/strong>. This hotel, located in Kolimbia (northeast), epitomises Greek luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \n Booking.com<\/a>\n<\/ins>\n\ud83d\uddd2\ufe0f What you need to know before your trip to Rhodes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
