Rhodes
For beaches, archaeological sites and Rhodes’s medieval Old Town.
Rhodes combines beaches, archaeological sites and an extensive medieval town. The north has lively resorts, while the south offers quieter beaches and a slower pace of life.
Explore the walled Old Town of Rhodes and its back streets, visit the Archaeological Museum, or head to Monte Smith for the ancient stadium and the remains of an acropolis. Lindos, Filerimos and Monolithos have more medieval and ancient sites. You can swim, snorkel, dive and hike; for windsurfing and kitesurfing, head to the west coast and the south.
