Largest of the Dodecanese and by far the most famous, Rhodes is amongst the most popular destinations in the Aegean Sea. It has long delighted history aficionados, culture buffs and lovers of luxury as well as discerning foodies, who return to the island again and again. A tremendous choice of guesthouses, B&Bs, hotels and resorts await travellers — and it can be a real challenge to choose between them. Our Gurus’ collection of the best places to stay in Rhodes includes some real gems, perfect for planning your next island escape.
Rhodes Town is the island’s capital, and a fascinating place to delve into the place’s culture. The old centre is a wonderful maze of labyrinthine streets, with medieval, Byzantine, Ottoman and Italian layers, protected within a double layer of city walls and an impressive moat. Cafés, boutiques, galleries and restaurants line cobbled lanes, where you’ll also find some very special hotels. Rhodes’ New Town, set outside the city walls, actually dates back to the medieval period, with a mix of old and new architecture including Art Deco buildings and hip boutiques.
Other highlights include Ialyssos, a lovely waterfront town to the west. The original hill village has stacks of traditional charm, with squares lined with tavernas and churches, whilst the newer seaside part of town is where more of the lively bars and cafes are situated. Similarly, the harbour town of Lindos, with its sugar-cube houses, cypress-studded gardens and ancient Acropolis, is very appealing. Lindos beach is wonderful; quiet and sandy Pallas is another favourite, Faliraki has a real buzz, and St. Paul’s Bay is one of the top swimming spots on the island. Discover rocky cliffs, tiny coves and a lush interior perfect for hiking and cycling, all within easy reach of the best places to stay in Rhodes.
