Rhodes is often known for its beach resorts. But beyond the coastline lies one of Europe’s largest medieval towns, an ancient acropolis, hilltop castles, and an island with far more variety than many visitors expect.
If you’re looking for the best things to do in Rhodes, this guide covers the island’s most rewarding historic sites, beaches and viewpoints in one itinerary.
From the UNESCO-listed Old Town of Rhodes to the whitewashed streets of Lindos, this travel guide explores some of the island’s most rewarding places. Along the way, we visit Anthony Quinn Bay, Faliraki, Tsambika Beach, Seven Springs, Kritinia Castle and Prasonisi, where the Aegean Sea meets the Mediterranean.
Beyond the beaches, Rhodes combines centuries of history with dramatic coastlines, quiet inland landscapes and one of Greece’s most fascinating medieval cities. We also cover when to visit, how to get around, and what makes each destination worth adding to your itinerary.
