Ancient Ialyssos in Rhodes is a must-visit! The historic ruins, including the Temple of Athena Polias and the early Christian basilica, are fascinating. The stunning views from Filerimos hill add to the charm. Perfect for history lovers and anyone seeking a unique cultural experience. Highly recommended!
Still a beautiful place but beware of the 2024 sunbed prices as they are ripping off the tourists now.
35 Euros for two beds and a parasol on the front row is extortion.
Only 8 euros for the same in Crete so we are going to Crete from now on as it has cost us 455 euros (£399) for sunbeds in a fortnight.
A very quiet resort with a few bars and restaurants. Beach is very stoney and dusty with only a couple of swimming areas as mostly taken up by kite surfing. After swimming we felt a greasy residue on skin. Could be due to the large power station at top of town which constantly pollutes the air with smoke so goodness only knows what it's putting in the sea! Also very close to airport so every 20 minutes or so you have to stop your conversation until the plane had passed. We had a good holiday and would recommend Filoxenia hotel and Mariposa restaurant. We needed to book a car for 3 day enjoy as town was quite limited.
Kremasti means hospitality, love and friendly environment. Friendly residents. You love them at first sight. We have visited Kremasti more than 15 times and you can't get enough of it.
I was on Rhodes for the first time in 1965 for 3 weeks in July and had rented a motorbike the whole time and drove 2000 km in 3 weeks and the runway from the plane was still inland, where today the big cross stands and can be viewed from above I was in Prasionissi, Aghati Bay and Ksambika Bay and there was no one there but many snakes. I had respect but no fear and where the casino is today was then a hotel with a private beach. I went on holiday to Rhodes at least 30 times, up to 5 weeks at a time and always rented a big motorbike and drove a total of over 60,000 km and was accident free, I was everywhere in Europe by car to the Canary Islands, but Rhodes was my favourite island, until today.
Beautiful village make a point of visiting here every year it’s so pretty the church is beautiful both inside and out very well cared for by the lady’s of the village. There are lots of tavernas around the village square we always make a point of visiting To Stolidi tis it’s a culinary delight and so nice to be remembered
Lindos is an amazing place to see and the walk is not too difficult at all. I would recommend doing it by foot as it sounds much harder than it actually is. I did it in June 2024 and it was 38 degrees Celsius and a marvellous experience!! Just bring loads of water and a camera.
I feel very sorry for the poor donkey’s and wouldn’t dream of using one. Two legs are better than four and of course we can choose to stop if necessary!!
My comment is that I'm proud to have been born on this small Island of Paradise nearly 80 years ago, but our father brought us to Australia for a better life when I was about 11years young. When I did go back to My Symi I was married and with three young children and that's when I did visit the wonderful Monastery of Panormitis (Archangel Michael) which was something special for me and my family. I also had the pleasure of discovering one of the stone houses that my Great Grand Father built in 1897 inscribed on the doorway with his name and mentioned year he built it, he was originally from Karpathos Married in Symi and had 8 sons and one daughter.
Seven Springs is a place that is really worth visiting and which every visitor to Rhodes should pass by!
Haraki is a hidden gem in Rhodes! Our family loved the serene beach, delicious local tavernas, and easy access to Lindos for vibrant nightlife. Lunch in Lindos was fantastic, too. Perfect blend of relaxation and fun for all ages. Highly recommended!
