Rhodes: Historic Hotels and Luxury Resorts on the Island of the Knights and the Colossus

Rhodes, the largest of the Dodecanese islands, is a crossroads of cultures and history. Famous for the legendary Colossus of Rhodes (one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World) and for its magnificent Medieval City, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Old Town, surrounded by imposing walls, is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture where the Hospitaller Knights of St. John resided. Our local guides recommend Rhodes for a stay that combines luxury seaside relaxation on the east and south coasts with a deep immersion in Crusader and Byzantine history.

What to See and Unmissable Experiences according to our travel designers

Medieval City of Rhodes (UNESCO) – Walking along the Street of the Knights (Odos Ippoton) and visiting the Palace of the Grand Master is a real experience that takes you back in time. In the evening, the illuminated walls offer a magical spectacle.
Mandraki Harbor – Where the Colossus is said to have stood. Today it is flanked by deer statues (symbols of the island) and windmills.
Acropolis of Lindos – Located on an imposing cliff, it offers a breathtaking view of the bay below, which we recommend visiting at sunrise to avoid the summer crowd.
Valley of the Butterflies (Petaloudes) – A natural oasis where thousands of butterflies gather in summer (July-August). A quiet and refreshing excursion.

Gastronomy and Typical Products

Pitaroudia – Fried fritters made from chickpeas and mint, a typical Rhodes appetizer.
Souma – A strong grape distillate, similar to Raki, often drunk socially in local taverns.
Melekouni – A traditional sweet bar made from sesame, honey, and spices, served during weddings and festivals. A great edible souvenir.
Rhodes Wine – The island boasts a long winemaking tradition, with dry white wines like Athiri and robust reds like Amorgiano.

Beach Lidos and Experiences (Beaches)

Faliraki Beach – Very popular and organized, ideal for those seeking lidos with full services and water sports.
Anthony Quinn Bay – A small, spectacular rocky bay with emerald waters, named after the actor who made it famous. Ideal for snorkeling.
Prasonisi (far south) – A peninsula that joins the island with a strip of sand, creating two opposite bays, a paradise for windsurfers and kitesurfers.
