The timeless relaxation of Rhodes
Land of magnificent palaces, historic villages and stunning beaches, you can live like an ancient Greek on the cobbled streets of Rhodes. Dine on Mediterranean dishes in the sunshine or swim among the fish when snorkelling off shore. One of Greece's largest islands, Rhodes combines stunning beaches, resorts of all kinds and genuine historic beauty gloriously.
The sands of good times
Historical sites include the Colossus, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Acropolis of Lindos and the ruins of Ialyssos - some of the remnants of one of the first great civilisations. Add in the mediaeval wall and the narrow, enclosed streets of Old Town, and Rhodes takes you on a historical journey of discovery.
For sun-and-fun-seekers, the likes of Elli Beach, and Faliraki Beach are a hub of activity on the sand, while beaches at Lindos and Kalathos are among those to offer plenty for people searching for relaxation in an idyllic spot.
