Rhodes takes in more annual holiday visitors than virtually any other Greek island. The attraction is not just the long summer season and the sandy beaches but also the remarkably well preserved medieval city of Rhodes itself, castles galore courtesy of the Crusader Knights of St John and a hilly, forested interior with some lovely landscapes.
The island's classical past can be explored at the ancient sites of Kamiros, Ialyssos and Lindos and medieval fortresses to rival any in the world can be found at Rhodes, Lindos and Monolithos.
Further south the island is a backwater of dirt roads and ancient villages, though isolated hotels are now cropping up all along the coast.
we have been to this island several times in the past.staying in Rhodes Town in the north and also Lindos and Lardos in the south of the island.......the medieval old town of Rhodes is one of my favourite places .I love it !. Greece was in the middle of a heatwave.the temp the day we were there was 44C!!
