Rhodes (Greece) > Reviews

Advantages: Golden sandy beaches, great weather, great food
Disadvantages: Euro has made it a little more expensive

...the travel agent said – Rhodes for 1 week in June. Sounded wonderful, but we didn’t know where we were going to end up. We got on the plane and landed at Rhodes airport. “Where are we going to?” I asked. “St Paul’s” came the reply. I had never heard of it. Onto the bus we got and came to a little tiny village about ¾ of an hour from Rhodes town. “Lindos” the coach driver called and we were huddled off the bus and lead through a maze of tiny ...

Advantages: Exciting and fullfilling
Disadvantages: Humid

I went to Rhodes in the year of 2002, another family holiday! This was a late deal. I found that actually the only thing that dissapointed me about this holiday was that, when I stepped of the plane from the airport I was attacked by this sudden burst of humidity and I hated it, from then on I knew this is what it was going to be like throughout the holiday, but I didn't let it get to me too much! I stayed in a town called Theologos, in a hotel ... Read review

Advantages: Lovely friendly island with great local grog!
Disadvantages: Some of the accommodation ...

...late evening flight out to Rhodes direct from London Gatwick and arrived at the Rodos Village Mitsis around 3.15am. The hotel was deserted save for two reception staff and so the scrum to the front of the queue started, with a plane-load of tired holidaymakers - mostly families with small children - desperate for their beds. There were limited seating facilities in the very grand foyer - designed mainly for aesthetic appeal rather than functionality ... Read review

Advantages: Something for everyone
Disadvantages: Too hot for some in mid summer and Lindos too steep for elderly or infirm

Rhodes a jewel in a crystal sea. 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. I have stood on a mountain and been able to see most of Rhodes, I have stood on the southern tip of the island and ... Read review

Advantages: Lovely and hot, relaxed atmosphere
Disadvantages: pebbly beaches, very windy!

I went to Rhodes on a last minute deal last year, and I must admit I had a fabulous time. This could have had more to do with my friends than the location itself. I cannot stress enough, though, that Rhodes has many different resorts and they are all of a very different nature! I was staying in Rhodes Town with a couple of friends as we had specifically asked to be as far away from Faliraki as possible! We had seen the programmes on tv and had decided ... Read review

Advantages: Variety
Disadvantages: Tourism galore

Rhodes is a large island, great for hikers and bikers. The Old Town is probably the best preserved Medieval city on earth. And the scary thing is- it's still being lived in. When the tourists thin out in November and the Disneyland of mean little shops finally shut- the old town continues- dark and smelly- but authentic. Rhodes town is a big night life spot. Discos galore. Difficult to find a decent place to eat- pretty much the same fare everywhere. ... Read review

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

...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. When you go to Rhodes you should be ready for every type of activity; Rock Climbing, take the climbing course and climb the Navarone cliff, as seen on the Guns of Navarone movie; Water Sports are very popular in Rhodes, I recommend the Marco ...

Advantages: Ideal holiday spot
Disadvantages: Heatwave is restricting!

I was fortunate enough this year to spend a week on the Greek island of Rhodes, it was the best week of the year. The island simply oozzes holiday! I went to the quieter reort of Pefkos which is a cheap taxi ride away from the ever popular Lindos. There is so much to do on the island it is ideal for families, couples and party animals. The place for the aprty animals is Falaraki, lots of clubs to choose from and enough cheary places to eat at once ... Read review

Advantages: Great holiday destination
Disadvantages: a bit too hot.

Faliraki was once a fishing village. Still is really, but now the fishing is done in the bars! Only a few hours away from Turkey, we jumped on the boat and spent a day at Marmaris – Er, big mistake! If you are blonde – you’re in trouble!! We went to the bazaar to pick up a few bargains, I couldn’t cope with the heat, I decided to sit in a carpet shop all day nursing my hangover from the night before under air conditioning. ...

Advantages: Lots to see, warm friendly people.
Disadvantages: May be too crowded for some people

We stayed in Rhodes Town this summer, the first time we have been, and I can honestly say that it is the best place we have ever been to. The place has everything, good restaurants, bars, clubs etc and the beaches, although a little crowded are quite good, notably the one they call "windy" beach where the welcome breeze means you can sunbathe without being overpowered by the heat. We stayed in a central part of what is known as the New Town which ... Read review

Advantages: Superb family friendly resort
Disadvantages: Can get too hot!!(is that a disadvantage!!?)

...and great value for money. Rhodes Town is a lovely place to visit, especially the Old Town- watch though because prices can vary quite considerably in the restaurants. When youre in Rhodes Town why not go over to Marmaris in Turkey? Needs to be booked in advance as you need your passport to get a visa etc. Cost us about £100 for the 4(including entry into Turkey), VERY rough crossing- if youre not keen on water dont do it!! When you get to Turkey ... Read review

Advantages: friendly people, always warm, great food
Disadvantages: pebbled beach

We stayed in Rhodes town itself, which was not to far from the airport and within bus and taxi rides to other towns. I must admit it had to be one of my best holidays ever. The entertainment is nothing like Benidorm they it is quite but not to quite they do have music on but it is more of a relaxing holiday, so if you are looking for someplace with the hussle and bussle of benidorm this is not the place, but on saying that there is just so many ...
