RhodesAction-packed or peaceful
Why go on holiday to Rhodes?
Rhodes, the largest of the Dodecanese, has some of the best weather in the Greek islands.
You
can stay in historic Rhodes Town if you crave an all-action holiday; or
go further afield to the traditional whitewashed village of Lindos, on
the east coast, for picturesque views and pretty beaches.
How much does it cost?
A
seven-day summer hotel package is from £350 and a return flight from
£150 but there are some great bargains to be had in May and September
when temperatures are often still good - if you're flexible it's worth
checking for late deals for these months, but don't expect to find any
in summer on this popular island.
When should I go?
Rhodes
Town is crowded in the height of summer, when temperatures can soar to
the 30Cs (90Fs), but the further you go from the town the less touristy
it becomes. Go late spring or early autumn to avoid the crowds -
temperatures are still generally good.
April averages are 70F
(21C) and September still has temperatures in the 20Cs (70Fs). November
to February have high rainfall, even though temperatures hover around
10C (50F) and above.

Soak up the history
What should I do when I'm there?
Visit Rhodes old town and wander through the maze of quiet alleys, soaking up the medieval atmosphere.
The
Palace of the Grand Masters, built in the 14th century, destroyed in
the 19th and rebuilt in the 20th, was once a lavish holiday home for
Mussolini. It's now a museum, housing a wealth of sculpture, mosaics
and furniture.
The new town is the centre of beach life and
nightlife. The Acropolis of Rhodes stands above the city and is a good
place to catch the sunsets.
Where are the best beaches?
The east side of the island is best for beaches. Kalithea, Tsambika, Haraki, Faliraki and Agia Agathi are some of the best.
Faliraki
is one of the island's tourist hotspots, so be prepared for crowds.
Further south, Stegna beach is quieter and Agathi is a tranquil, sandy
cove.
Where can I soak up the past?
The
famous Aphrodite of Rhodes can be seen in the archeological museum in
Rhodes old town. Walk down the cobbled Avenue of Knights, where the
medieval knights of St John, who once ran the town, lived.
The town was heavily fortified; on Tuesday and Saturday there is a guided walk along the walls.
What's in Lindos?
Despite
the booming tourist industry, Lindos maintains its traditional charm,
with gleaming white-washed houses and a maze of streets. Shopping is
good here, especially for crafts and jewellery.
The Acropolis of
Lindos is one of the most famous on the islands and receives 500,000
visitors a year. Get there early to savour the atmosphere of the place.
Where can I get away from it all?
Visit
Butterfly Valley. Butterflies attracted to Petaloudes by the scent of
resin in the trees gather in their thousands, creating an amazing
spectacle.
Inland, visit Profitis Ilias with its monastery and
panoramic sea views. Take a boat trip to nearby Symi Island, famous for
its sponge trade.
| Rhodes to nightlife |
| Where's good for nightlife? Rhodes New Town and Faliraki are buzzing at night, and Ixia has a pretty lively nightlife, too. If you prefer more sedate entertainment, try the son et lumiere in Rhodes Old Town, held at the Palace of the Grand Masters on selected summer evenings. The Folk Dance Theatre in Rhodes OldTown offers a taste of traditional island entertainment. What's the food like? You can get chips with everything if you really want, but off the well-worn tourist track try traditional Greek dishes like tyropitta (cheese pie), dolmades (stuffed vine leaves), melitzanosalata (aubergine dip) or fasolada (bean soup). Squid (calamari) and swordfish (xifias) are also tasty local options. What should I buy? Good buys in Rhodes old town include gold (usually nine-carat) and silver jewellery, leather goods and ceramics. Shop around and negotiate the price. In Lindos you'll find lots of local crafts, including the needlework for which the town is famous. Paradisi is famed for its ceramics. Greek honey is delicious and makes an inexpensive gift. What is there for children to do? There are good beaches with clear water for paddling and swimming. Older children may enjoy windsurfing off Ixia or Trianda. Larger hotels organise plenty of activities for young visitors, so check with your travel agent. Tourist office Hellenic Tourism Organisation, 4 Conduit Street, London W1S 2DJ. Tel 020 7495 9300. |

Greece consists of a peninsula and about 1,400 islands, of which 169 are inhabited. The land mass is 131,900sq km. The islands are divided into six groups : the Cyclades, the Dodecanese, the islands of the North-Eastern Aegean, the Sporades, the Ioanian and the Saronic Gulf Islands. The two largest islands, Crete and Evia, do not belong to any group. In Greece, no area is much more than 100km from the sea. The much-indented coastline has a total length of 15,020km. |
|
 |
Variety is in fact the hallmark of the geographical landscape of Greece. High mountains and entire mountain ranges such as the Pindus range or Mount Olympus as well as endless coastline produce a series of scenic surprises. It is these heavily indented shores which give Greece such rare beauty, quite unique in the Mediterranean. |
|
At a geographical crossroads, Greece combines elements of Europe, the
Balkans, Middle East and Mediterranean. |
|
|
Greece, at the southern extremity of the Balkan Peninsula, is the only member of the EU without a land frontier with another member. To the North, Greece has land borders with Albania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Bulgaria and to the east with Turkey. |
 |
|
Lifestyle Greece is certainly a gifted place. This is the place where the sun shines 300 days a year and the sea enters deep in the land creating incredible formations. The joy of life had found its meaning in Attica, Athens, all over Greece. Imagine yourselves into environment full of tolerance and friendliness! Imagine yourselves into a hot summer night watching a ritual performance of Ancient Greek Tragedy in the same place where theatre and tragedy were born about 2500 years ago! You will find yourself in a place where “having a good time” is acknowledged as much as a human right. |
|
 |
You will notice a common Greek character of great hospitality everywhere in Greece but this is more noticeable at remote corners of the country. Most of Greeks accept tourists as guests and perhaps this is one of the reasons why Greece has been such a tourist attraction over the years. Greeks are instinctively kind to the stranger and convey sincere warmth. |
|
The generosity of Greeks will appear spontaneously in the way they will buy a complete stranger a drink without ever expecting anything in return, in the way they will go out of their way to help you if you are lost or just confused about where to go and what to do, in the way they will do their best to communicate with you in your own language or turn everything upside down till they have found someone else who can talk to you. Language sums this up: the word for foreigner in Greek is the same as the one for guest. |
|
|
For thousands of years travellers have appreciated the qualities that make Greece a summer paradise. Now foreign visitors as well as vacationing Greeks want to become integrated in the local life. Owning a small house on a remote island is now seen as the ultimate luxury. Drawn by the climate and natural resources and seduced by the charm of the traditional architecture, vacationers are choosing what were once fishermen’s modest abodes or ship-captains’ aristocratic residences for a new kind of vacation living. |

Greek food is not all mousakas and souvlaki. Every region has its own specialities and it need not be an expensive culinary adventure to discover some of these. One can indulge in leisurely eating as the Greek cuisine combines with imagination a variety of local meats and fish, fresh vegetables and pure olive oil. Good food and drink are among the many attractions of a holiday in Greece. To be more specific the local cuisine is the result of the action of Greek imagination on a basic stock of European and eastern dishes: the most characteristically Greek elements are the use of olive oil, tomatoes, onions, garlic and a wide variety of herbs and spices. The Greek Cuisine forms the backbone of what has become known as the Mediterranean Diet. |

Saronic Gulf Islands The five Saronic Gulf Islands are the closest of all to Athens, and Salamis is virtually a suburb of the capital. Aegina, Hydra, Spetses and Poros are all surprisingly varied in architecture and terrain. These islands are all within an hour or two from Athens by Flying Dolphin, which makes them not only convenient for day trips, but Aegina, Poros and Angistri can be used as a place to stay while commuting to Athens to see the sites. There are many ferries a day and Hydrofoils can run hourly or more. |
|
Cyclades Islands The Cyclades islands epitomize the postcard image of the Greek islands: bright - blue church domes offset dazzling white buildings, while golden beaches meet an aquamarine sea. Some of the Cyclades islands, such as Mykonos, Santorini, Paros and Ios, have vigorously embraced the tourist industry; others, such as Andros , Kea, Sefiros and Sikinos, are visited infrequently by foreigners but are favourites with holidaymakers from athens. |
|
Dodecanese Islands Strung along the coast of western Turkey, the Dodecanese archipelago is much closer to Asia Minor than to mainland Greece. Because of their strategic and vulnerable position, these islands have been subjected to an even greater catalogue of invasions and occupations that the rest of Greece - Egyptians, the Knights of St. John, Turks and Italians have all done their bit as conquerors. Rhodes is the largest of the Dodocanese islands and its town is the largest inhabited medieval settlement in Europe. The Avenue of the Knights is lined with magnificent medieval buildings, the most impressive of which is the Palace of the Grand Masters, restored, but never used, as a holiday home for Mussolini. The imposing Acropolis of Lindos shares its rocky outcrop with a Crusader castle above winding streets with whitewashed, elaborately decorated houses. Other popular islands in the Dodecanese include Kos, Symi and Patmos. The untouristy islands of Lipsi and Tilos have fantastic beaches without large crowds, and the far-flung Agathonisi, Kastelorizo and Kasos are great places to experience traditional life. |
|
Ionian Islands The Ionian group consists of seven main islands: Corfu, Paxi, Kefallonia, Zakynthos, Ithaki, Lefkada and Kythira. Strung along the west coast of Greece, the Ionian Islands are the only group not in the Aegean, and in many ways they are more reminiscent of their close neighbour Italy, Corfu, with its beguiling landscape of vibrant wildflowers and slender cypress trees rising out of shimmering olive groves, is considered by many to be the most beautiful of the Greek islands. |
