The moment you step onto the ground of Rhodes, you already feel that spark of sun tingling your skin, giving that very pale nice tan. Driving to your hotel, is also very exiting as you experience... more

    Advantages Advantages Medieval walled town

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very crowded in the day

    Rhodes is one of the Dodecanese islands in the sparkling Aegean Sea. We were only on the island for a day so we restricted our visit to exploring the town of Rhodes itself. We were all aware of the Wonder of the World, the Colossus of Rhodes and had heard stories about how this magnificent bronze sculpture had straddled the harbour entrance. The first thing we found out when we arrived was that it is thought now that the statue never actually straddled the water; it simply stood at the entrance of the harbour. However at over 110 feet high I am sure it would have been a very impressive sight ... more

    Advantages Advantages wonderful cheap break

    Disadvantages Disadvantages basic facilities

    Warm climate, warm welcome, beautiful scenery and INCREDIBLY good value – you can’t ask much more from a summer holiday, which probably explains why we have recently returned from our 3rd visit to Rhodes. The first time my husband and I went to Rhodes was in 1997 as a result of a late getaway deal, we had a couple of the larger Greek Islands under our belt but not much knowledge of the Eastern Med – we just wanted a cheap, sunny holiday. We got a two-centre deal, presumably left over from two package trips, that suited us down to the ground. Our first week in Rhodes was spent ... more

    Advantages Advantages lots of culture,plenty to see.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages accomodation can be basic

    SMALL UPDATE.(4TH JUNE 2001) If you would like to see some photos of area please look at :http://myweb.freecasa.com/SHEP5767 thanks. Rhodes is one of those nice little Greek islands. The island is also known as Rodos. I was lucky enough to be able to visit it when my husband decided to surprise me with air tickets as a birthday present. Reading all the paperwork, I discovered that I would be flying out on July 10th 1999; the accommodation to be chosen on my arrival. I was a little worried about that, and also the fact I was going on my own. I need not have worried though. I arrived safely in ... more

    Advantages Advantages So much on offer! Not just Greece.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    So you may have heard of the Greek Island of Rhodes, but have you heard about the many and varied excursions available? In September 2000 my fiance and I went off on a fortnights holiday to the island. We stayed in an unfinished hotel in the resort of Trianda on the North West coast, on an all inclusive basis, all food, drinks and entertainment included. The holiday had been booked for almost a year so you can imagine our disappointment on arrival to see the hotel half built. What were we to do? Go off on excursions, that's what we did! The first of many was to Marmaris, but that's in Turkey ... more

    Advantages Advantages Golden sandy beaches, great weather, great food

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Euro has made it a little more expensive

    Last year we were unsure where to go for our holiday so off to the travel agents we went for a last minute deal – 149.00 each 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 houses and apartments, all ... more

    Does anyone know of wheelchair friendly hotels in Rhodes? (Rhodes Town in particular, but anywhere would do)

    I am researching this for a friend who is wheelchair-bound and would like to holiday in Rhodes. I can give him some advice on travel around the island, restaurants and attractions but not hotels, as we always stay with family. Emailing various hotels has produced mixed results. I would really like to hear some first hand experiences!
