Latino Bay, Rhodes

Advantages: Good value, lots to do, lots to see
Disadvantages: Not in the Inidian Ocean or the Carribean

...Rhodes, one of the most famous islands in the world, you just never knew it. Many a movie has been shot on Rhodes, one of the most famous being the Guns of Navarone. Visit Rhodes and relax, well thats a waste of a holiday. Rhodes is full of things to do. In length the island takes about 1 hour to drive and about 20 minutes to drive across.

The beauty of Rhodes is that there is something for everyone, from watersports in some of the clearest water I have seen , to walking or hiking in outstanding countryside, to sunbathing in almost guaranteed beautiful weather, to just doing what comes naturally in the bars and nightclubs on the island.
