Travel Guides > Greece > Rhodes > Holidays & Hotels in Rhodes

In days of old when knights were bold they found the island of Rhodes, close to the Turkish shore at the merging of the Mediterranean and Aegean seas, and set it up as a fortress to protect the Christian west from the invasion of the infidels from the east. Today the island, the main one of the 12 making up the Dodecanese group, is still subject to invasion, but now the intruders are tourists, who come to revel in what is reputedly the sunniest Greek island, and to have fun in the medieval city the knights left behind. The town of Rhodes, on the northern point of the island, has preserved its picturesque walled old city as a playground for visitors. The rest of the relatively large island offers miles of beaches, interesting archaeological sites and natural beauty spots. The best beaches are on the east coast, between Faliraki and Lindos. Lindos is renowned as a particularly picturesque town that has been designated a protected historic settlement. Faliraki on the other hand is renowned for its nightlife with very little being protected.

Sightseeing: Rhodes today proffers its visitor a plethora of leisure activities. The natural exquisiteness of the island, the monuments from her long and habitually chaotic history. Some sights that shouldn't be missed are the Palace of the Grand Masters, the Church of the Panagia in Lindos, the Acropolis of Rhodes, the medieval City in Rhodes Town, the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes (Hospital of the Knights) in Rhodes Town and the Colossus of Rhodes are just a few to visit. Click here to see more on sites in Rhodes.

Day trips: Wherever you are staying there are sure to be a host of coach trips to tempt you away from the beach. One that's not to be missed is a trip to the Valley of Butterflies which is near the village of Tholos on the western side of Rhodes. This valley is home to thousands of butterflies and moths that flood the valley in order to reproduce. The valley is a tourist trap but some great photos can be taken if you visit the valley at the right time. As with all tourist traps there are a number of tourist and souvenir shops at the entrance to the valley so finding the right keepsake isn't a problem. Entrance fee is cheap at around 5 Euros so it can make a cheap day out.

Boat trips to Turkey are available every day from the harbour in Rhodes Town and it only takes around 30-minutes to make the crossing. The ferry arrives at Marmaris and the best day to go is on a Thursday as the big market is a must place to visit if you're after bargains to take home. Every fake designer label is catered for from Burberry, Gucci, Adidas and Nike. Make sure you barter with the stallholders as 50% discounts can be easily achieved due to their weak currency. If the markets not for you then try a few hours at the Ice Skating rink or just enjoy the town and its fine beach. Don't forget to take your passport with you.
