Let's start our guide to Rhodes with a little historical background. Rhodes is one of the most big islands Greece, the area ranks fourth in the country. The population is 115 thousand people, of which almost half (50 thousand) live in the capital of the island, the city of Rhodes. Together with Kos, Patmos, Symi and other islands, Rhodes is part of the Dodecanese archipelago. It is located much closer to Turkey than to mainland Greece: from the port of Rhodes to the Turkish Marmaris in a straight line - only 50 km, while to Athens - as much as 450. Rhodes is washed by two seas at once: the Aegean in the west and the Mediterranean in the east.

Such a lucky geographical position for centuries made Rhodes a tasty piece of land for a variety of civilizations. Back in the 16th century BC the Minoans from Crete ruled here, then the ancient Greeks, Persians, Byzantines, Arabs, again Persians, again Greeks... Since ancient times, Rhodes was part of Byzantium, until at the beginning of the XIV century it was captured by the Knights Hospitaller. For two centuries, the island became the main residence of the knightly order, and the city of Rhodes in the north of the island - its capital. It was then that the most important historical sights of Rhodes were built, which have survived to this day: the Palace of the Grand Masters, the Street of the Knights, the Rhodes fortress, etc.

At the beginning of the 16th century, Rhodes was captured by the Turks. The Ottomans owned the island for almost 400 years, in 1912 they were replaced by the Italians, and since 1948 Rhodes "returned to his homeland", becoming part of Greece. Now can you imagine how much blood is mixed in the inhabitants of Rhodes and how many cultures and civilizations have left their traces here, which are visible literally at every step? For this alone it is worth moving to this amazing island! But there are also dozens of stunning, breathtaking beaches for every taste: for tourists with children, for divers, and for windsurfers ... All this makes the island of Rhodes one of the most popular for travelers from different countries, including Russia.

Socrates Street in the city of Rhodes is the real soul of the island. Here, the Greek, Turkish, and knightly heritage of Rhodes merged together.

Weather in Rhodes and when is the best time to go

Rhodes is one of the most southern islands Greece. So the holiday season here lasts longer than on many other islands. Most of the local hotels are closed in winter, as well as in March and April, and from May 1, in honor of the day of solidarity of the proletariat, the shock workers of the resort labor of Fr. Rhodes in unison throws open the hospitable doors of rest houses and boarding houses. The air temperature in May is simply ideal (from 22 to 29 degrees), but the water is still cool in the early days, but by the middle or end of the month, as a rule, it gradually warms up to a comfortable +20 ... +22. However, local belief says that the water is always warmer on the beaches of all-inclusive hotels. Whether this is true or not, we don’t know, but for some reason there are more bathers there.

July and August are the hottest months in Rhodes in all senses. At this time, there is the hottest weather, the warmest sea, the largest number of tourists and, accordingly, the highest prices for tours, hotels and air tickets. So-called "mid season" in Rhodes is June, September and early October when the sea is still (or already) very warm, the streets are not so stuffy, the prices are not so high, and the crowds are not so big.

From mid-October, the weather in Rhodes gradually deteriorates: it rains more, the waves rise, the temperature drops and most hotels close until the end of April. However, even in winter, a lot of tourists go to Rhodes. From November to March, life on the island calms down and there is a unique opportunity to get around the sights of Rhodes without tourist crowds. Yes, you can’t swim at this time, but for leisurely walks along ancient cities winter +14…+16 are very comfortable.

It was a gift from Zeus to the sun god Helios after the victory of the Gods over the Titans. Helios named the island in honor of his beloved - the nymph Rhodes and does not get tired of admiring it to this day. That is why almost all days of the year are sunny on the island! So says the legend.

O. Rhodes is one of the largest Greek islands and one of the most popular among tourists. It is located quite far from mainland Greece and is adjacent to Turkey: the strait of the same name that separates the island from Turkey is only 37 km wide. O. Rhodes has been inhabited by people for more than 9000 years and the historical part of the capital of the island - the city of Rhodes is included in the list of world cultural heritage UNESCO.

The climate in Rhodes is mild - the average annual temperature is 18-20°C, in summer - 27-29°C, the heat is always softened by the northeast wind. Rhodes is 1-2°C cooler in summer than the popular mainland resorts. Rains in the summer are rare, but in the winter months it rains every 2-3 days.

The capital of the island - the city of Rhodes - is the city of knights, medieval castles, impregnable fortress walls and high towers shrouded in secrets, and in addition, it was here that the Ear of Rhodes was once erected - a giant statue of the god Helios, about 36 m high (for comparison, the height of the Motherland statue in Volgograd without a sword is 52 m .)

Attractions

The main routes of the traveler in the capital of the island will pass through the Old Town, along its original cobbled streets, along the ancient fortress walls and high towers, where the Middle Ages and chivalry intersect with ancient Greek monuments and ancient Ottoman mosques.

An incredibly powerful defensive structure with a total length of walls of about 4 km, which still impresses with its impressiveness. Built in the 14th century by the knights of the Order of the Hospitallers, it withstood the attacks of Turkish troops for more than 200 years. During one of the sieges, the walls of the fortress, which were double and separated by a twenty-meter moat, withstood up to 1000 cannon strikes per day!

To this day, most of the walls, 11 gates around the perimeter, bastions, the palace of the Grand Master and several streets have survived, since the Middle Ages, which have not undergone practically any changes.

The central street of the Rhodes fortress, which has retained its original appearance over the centuries. When you walk along a street paved with rough stone between stone walls, it seems that the clatter of hooves and the ringing of the armor of a racing horseman are about to be heard behind you.

Here and there, on the walls along the street of the knights, the old coats of arms of the Knights Hospitaller and the old lanterns built into the wall, though already with modern lamps, have been preserved.

The houses on the Street of the Knights are the residences of the "tongues" - divisions of the Order of the Knights Hospitaller from different countries of medieval Europe. Some of the houses are open to the public, for example, the House in which the Turkish prince Cem was hiding, encroaching on the Ottoman throne.

The existing building is a reconstruction of the 30s of the XX century, the original building was destroyed as a result of the explosion of a gunpowder warehouse a century earlier. However, the reconstructed castle was built with meticulous precision and fully reproduces the atmosphere of the Middle Ages.

Inside the castle there is a museum dedicated in part to the archaeological finds of Fr. Rhodes, partly - to the reproduction of the interiors of the knight's castles of the late Middle Ages.

Also interesting are old books, icons, weapons, huge mosaics laid out right on the floor and unusual onyx windows, in which plates of a light yellow onyx mineral are inserted instead of glass, due to which the light penetrating into the palace of the great masters is saturated and warm, like the sun. even on cloudy days.

The most interesting thing is that within the Old Town live ordinary people, just like thousands of years ago, their small houses with wooden shutters, flowers and cats are everywhere, for us it is an ethnographic museum, and for them it is their home and everyday life among the tourist bustle.

Local residents are very sociable and friendly people, meeting acquaintances, they will certainly stop to chat, even if they are separated by a roadway.

You can safely walk around the Old Town on your own for at least a whole day without fear of getting lost - sooner or later you will come out to the city wall and to one of the 11 exits that are always open.

The main shopping street of the Old, and, perhaps, the whole city. It stretches within the walls of the fortress parallel to the Street of the Knights a quarter from it. Numerous small shops and stalls sell almost everything: from ice cream and magnets to huge antique statues and vases, bright fabrics, spices, coffee, olive oil, honey, jewelry, paintings, etc.

On Socrates Street, souvenirs are somewhat cheaper than outside the Old Town.

In addition to shopping pavilions, Socrates Street has many attractions. To start with, the street originates from the beautiful old mosque of Suleiman with a tall, slender minaret, and ends at Hippocrates Square, where the unusual Castellania fountain with an owl on top and another old mosque and the Castellan Palace are located.

The most famous of the 14 mosques of the island, built in 1522 during the reign of Sultan Suleiman, who commanded the Turkish troops during the conquest of the island. The building of the mosque is small, plastered in a pleasant light pink color. The mosque is crowned with 4 semicircular domes, several smaller domes and a high 35-meter minaret with two balconies.

Despite the fact that the minaret is a new building erected on the site of a dilapidated old one, it fits very harmoniously into architectural ensemble mosques.

On the territory of the mosque there is a small garden with tall cypresses and a pretty fountain, the entrance inside may be closed due to renovations, but still this oldest monument of Ottoman culture in Rhodes is worth seeing. The best view of the mosque, by the way, opens from the Clock Tower of the Rhodes Fortress - the highest point of the Old Town.

The colorful lively village adjacent to the bustling Faliraki is famous for its bright multi-colored houses, the main color of the walls of which is bright blue, the doors and shutters can be red, the porch can be green, etc. In addition, souvenirs are often hung right on the walls of the houses handmade - ceramics, embroidery, fabrics, rugs, which can be purchased right there.

In Kallithea there is an ancient thermal bath with mineral water, which has recently been restored and welcomes visitors.

This natural attraction is located in a gorge that stretches upstream a picturesque stream near the town of Petaludes in the northwestern part of the island. You can get there on the blue and white R.O.D.A. with central bus station for 5 euros.

Butterfly Valley is a place where thousands of them are collected, but they are all of the same species and do not fly, but sit on trees, sometimes covering the trunks with a continuous carpet. These are butterflies of the four-pointed bear (Euplagia quadripunctaria rhodosensis), which have an underdeveloped proboscis, so they do not feed in adulthood, and the forces accumulated when they were caterpillars are only enough for mating and laying eggs.

Butterflies are not the most brightly colored, but still, when a lot of them cover trees or other surfaces with a living carpet - it's a mesmerizing sight!

Attention! It is guaranteed to meet butterflies in the valley from the end of May to the beginning of August. Arriving earlier or later, you most likely will not meet them or there will be very few of them.

• Opening hours: 8.00-17.00
• Ticket price: 5 euros, for children - free of charge.

The kids on the island will love it! Sea, sandy beaches, an abundance of unusual vegetation, real knight's castles, towers, walls, ruins everywhere.

Tours of the Old City in a playful way can become a real adventure! You can walk along the fortress wall, climb the high tower of the Rhodes fortress - the Sentry. It will always be interesting for children to walk along the Socrates shopping street and choose souvenirs and gifts for their relatives.

A special attraction is the water park in Faliraki - you can spend a whole day or even two on it! Older children can take windsurfing lessons in Ialyssos - when else will this opportunity arise?

Finally, another day can be devoted to visiting the Butterfly Valley and the nearby zoo.

The main inconvenience of the island when traveling with children is quite strong winds, which makes the sea often restless. Although, you can almost always find a cozy cove, especially in the Lindos area.

In the last article, I have already told in general, and in this article we will talk about the most interesting sights of Rhodes.

I will show cool places on the island, its extraordinary beauty of the bay, beaches, viewing platforms, preserved medieval towns, monuments ancient civilization and even places of power.

So, if you are going to spend your holidays in Greece, then this article about the sights of Rhodes with all the marks on the map is just for you 🙂

So let's go!

The city of Rhodes of the same name with the island, which is also the capital, was built by the Knights Hospitaller. The streets here are paved with cobblestones, old houses, palaces and churches, a fortress and gates have been preserved.

The Old City itself is included in the World Cultural Heritage List. By the way, the Rhodes fortress is the longest in Europe - 4 km, and to get to the city center you need to go through 11 fortress gates. On the lawns along the wall you can see cannonballs, they reached the fortress, made potholes, but did not pierce it through.

We really enjoyed walking around the Old Town, which is quite atypical for an old woman in Europe, more like an oriental town, with winding labyrinths of streets. We have not been to Turkey, but they say it is very similar to a Turkish town with arrows of minarets and Turkish houses with traditional balconies.

Suleiman the Magnificent Mosque is one of the few structures of the Turkish period that have survived to this day.

And the most photographed objects in the town are the Street of the Knights

and the Palace of the Grand Masters.

Right outside the gates of the Old Town is also the port of Mandraki, pleasant for walking,

with the Italian Church of the Annunciation, with very beautiful interiors, atypical for Greek churches.

We lived just 5 km from the town, once, during a morning jog along the sea, I just ran to the port) Here, at the entrance to the harbor, there is an old lighthouse and 2 symbols of the city - the Rhodian deer and deer, they stand on columns opposite each other friend, and a little further - medieval mills.

It is worth coming to the town of Rhodes even just to watch the sunset or dine in one of the many restaurants,

and then, of course, walk along its streets, watch the locals.

The locals have a tradition to set up chairs near the house every evening and just sit, look at passers-by or gossip about something with the neighbors.

Ancient Kamiros

From the ancient town of Kamiros (IX century BC), only the ruins of tiny houses, temples and the likeness of streets and squares remained, the palaces were only half restored.

If you have a wild imagination, then you can safely go to Ancient Kamiros to wander among the ruins, vividly imagining how the ancient Greeks once lived here.

Well, we found a couple of good ones here. marine species, and for general acquaintance, we also walked a little among the ruins 🙂

Mount Tsambika in Rhodes is sacred, on its top there is a monastery of the same name, to which a staircase of 307 steps leads. This is a pilgrimage route that especially believers overcome on their knees.

The church has its own legend - once upon a time, here on the top of a hill, the Greeks discovered the miraculous icon of the Holy Mother of God, which belonged to the Cypriot church, and no matter how much they tried to return the icon to its place, it always returned here. As a result, a small church was built for the icon.

And the miraculous effect of the icon is due to the fact that even childless couples who are trying in vain to have a child, having visited this place, surely received a long-awaited gift. Now this miraculous icon is kept in the monastery at the foot, but the ritual - to climb the hill and light a candle is still preserved.

Well, from the top of the hill there is a stunning view of the bay and the long sandy beach of Tsambika.

Petaludes Valley or Butterfly Valley

The Valley of the Butterflies is a pleasant park in a narrow gorge, with numerous footbridges and steps covered with moss, which are especially good to walk in the hot heat, hiding under the shade of styrax trees.

In summer, there is a unique opportunity here - to see in one place tens of thousands of bear butterflies, which flock here every year to the smell of fragrant resin and hang right in clusters on stones

and trees.

I can’t say that butterflies are beauties, you won’t notice them right away, they are masters of disguise 🙂 and it’s rather their number that amazes, the very fact of such a huge cluster in one place. There are several waterfalls and streams in the park, you breathe freshly, in general, you can safely lay half an hour, or even an hour for a walk through the gorge!

Mount Filerimos

A path along a cypress alley with numerous bas-reliefs, along which you can climb highest point the mountain topped with a huge 17-meter cross (which could also once be climbed) was nicknamed the "Way of Calvary", because the distance is equal to that which Jesus walked, carrying his cross.

The place reminded us of a mountain with a cross 🙂

Do not repeat our mistake - if there is haze in the sky, then it is worth postponing the visit for the evening, especially since this mountain should have a stunning view of the sunset.

Well, on a clear day with good visibility, you can clearly see 2 Greek cities- resort Ixia and ancient Ialyssos. We were in the daytime, so, alas, we did not experience delight from the sight of the barely perceptible outlines of cities.

But as a bonus, we had a lot of running after peacocks, there are plenty of them here, yes, and we got into the mating season when they fluff their tails 🙂

And, of course, lovers of the ruins will appreciate the preserved ancient ruins of the ancient city of Ialis, with the ruins of the temple of Zeus and Athena, as well as knightly castles with frescoes and the Church of the Virgin.

Lindos

The stunning snow-white ancient town of Lindos is considered a typical Greek,

and definitely a must visit!

As many tourists as here, it is difficult to see anywhere else in Rhodes, this is a very popular place among both travelers and locals.

This ancient town at the foot of the hill arose already in the 6th century BC. e.,

and has survived to this day

it is pleasant to walk here as well as along the narrow picturesque streets of the city,

and climb to the ancient Acropolis and the walls of the knight's castle, from where a stunning view of the heart-shaped lagoon with azure water opens - St. Paul's Bay.

This is perhaps the most beautiful bay on the island, according to legend, the Apostle Paul stopped here on his way to Jerusalem, which is why the bay is named after him. The small church in this bay is extremely popular for wedding ceremonies.

And you can climb the hill with the Acropolis both on foot and on donkeys, we preferred the first option, at the same time we examined the needlework of local craftswomen close by.

I don’t really like ruins, but if they are located somewhere on a mountain, then we definitely go up there.

Because the views from the hill are so breathtaking!

If there is no haze, then you can see not only the city at the foot and the neighboring sandy beach with a bay where you really want to freshen up, but also the endless expanses, including St. Peter's Bay and the neighboring islands.

After a walk around the Acropolis (which, by the way, is the second most important after Athens),

we went downstairs and had lunch in one of the view taverns in the old town, I don’t even remember what I liked more - the very view and atmosphere of the restaurant or fresh seafood in it 🙂

In this place, there really are 7 springs, small streams that gush out of the ground and form a lake. Interest among tourists, however, like us, is another object in the neighborhood - a dark narrow tunnel, which just the same leads to this very lake.

Every second tourist wants to tickle your nerves and go through the tunnel. The fact is that the tunnel is completely dark, and you need to go through it barefoot, being ankle-deep in cold water, using phones and flashlights is not recommended, so as not to violate the atmosphere and the sacraments of tradition.

There are 2 beliefs associated with the tunnel, after passing through which you can choose to either rejuvenate yourself by 10 years or get rid of 7 sins. We also passed - I don’t know, probably rejuvenated 🙂

Well, behind the tunnel, if you go a little to the side along the nature path, you can see a beautiful artificial waterfall.

Kallithea Springs (Kallithea Baths)

Once upon a time there were healing springs here,

now it is just a pleasant natural complex with the former name Kallithea Springs,

where you can swim in crystal clear water, sunbathe on sun loungers and have a snack in a cafe.

In general, the nature in the area is simply amazing, especially the sea cliffs.

The ancient marble pavilions have been restored so that in their shade and coolness you can hide from the hot sun.

Anthony Quinn bay

This bay is named after a real person - the famous actor of the last century, writer and artist Anthony Quinn. The film "The Guns of Navarone" with his participation was filmed in the bay, but the Greeks themselves fell in love with Anthony Quinn for the film masterpiece "Zorba the Greek", in which the actor performed a Greek dance, and the melody from which became a hit. Zorba the Greek, by the way, won an Oscar.

At the end of filming, the actor rented a house in a picturesque bay, and then bought it to stay here for a long time. The government was very pleased with the presence of the star, or rather, the effect that his presence produced - the bay began to attract tourists / fans of the actor like a magnet, so it was decided to give the bay the name of the actor.

I am sure that even if Anthony Quinn did not live in this bay, and if it were called something else, tourists would still choose this place! First, the bay itself, framed bizarre rocks, as a natural place - very picturesque, the water changes its color from turquoise to sapphire during the day, and secondly, it is easy to get here - public transport runs to the nearest resort towns, from which you can already walk to the bay on foot.

Now Anthony Quinn Bay is one of the most beautiful and pleasant beaches on the island for relaxation - the clearest water, the bay is protected from waves and wind, there are sun loungers, umbrellas, showers and cafes.

Ostrich farm

There is a place in Rhodes that is definitely worth a visit, especially if you are relaxing on the island with children - this is an ostrich farm

and a mini zoo next to it.

At the entrance, you can buy bags of corn kernels and feed the ostriches - this is the most important entertainment. At the same time, only 2-3 of the calmest males are allocated for feeding, who eat carefully from their hands, while females are generally not allowed near tourists, because they often behave inappropriately)

On the farm, ostriches are settled in families - one male and 2-3 females live in a corral. Males are quite aggressive, and if two adult males are placed with a female, they will fight for their status to the last, until one of them dies. But in general, ostriches, it turns out, live quite a long time, about 60-70 years.

Ostriches are raised for meat and for incubation of eggs. They lay eggs at the age of 2 to 35 years, and each incubate for about 40 days, and young individuals are used for meat, up to 1 year.

One ostrich egg weighs about 2 kg, it is enough for about 10 omelettes. The farm also has a restaurant where you can try omelettes, steaks and ostrich meat cutlets. There is also a souvenir shop where you can buy all kinds of crafts from the shell, and also, on the farm you can see the world's largest rosary, also made from eggs, of course, they are under glass)

Vineyards

Most of the vineyards of Rhodes are located around Mount Attaviros, at altitudes reaching 800 m. In the highlands, the white variety of Atiri is grown, and the red variety of Mandidaria (Amoriano) is cultivated in the plains.

Both vineyards can be visited to taste/buy various wines as a gift or just to dine overlooking the endless vineyards.

In summer, the grapes are still unripe, so we didn’t manage to eat fresh fruits from the bush 🙁

If you see some local production, be it a soap factory, a honey farm or a ceramic workshop, do not be shy, you can look everywhere, look and ask the craftsmen.

The Greeks are friendly enough, well, they will bite you))


As a rule, all workshops and farms have their own shop where you can buy their craft products.

Prasonissi (Prasonissi)

There is another attraction of Rhodes on the island, which, alas, we did not reach, is called the “kiss of the two seas”. Yes, that's right, because when you come here, you can swim in two seas at once - the Aegean and the Mediterranean.

This place is located on southern cape Rhodes, and a huge sand spit separates the seas. The place was chosen by kiters and surfers. I love places like this!

So, for us, this is at least one significant reason to return someday to the island of Rhodes.

Finally

Excellent beaches, developed infrastructure, extensive excursion program, picturesque places islands - all this makes Rhodes one of the most popular tourist destinations in Greece.

You can travel around Rhodes as public transport, and on a rented car or motorbike, the choice is yours.

The latest options will undoubtedly make your vacation more varied and mobile. We looked at all the places described in the article, moving by car, the roads and traffic on the island are normal. Along the way we discovered and visited several interesting places where you didn’t originally plan to visit 🙂

Car rental in Rhodes

We were looking for a car for rent in several places: firstly, we asked on the spot (since we didn’t need a car on the first day of arrival, we didn’t book in advance, although we usually do just that), but either there was nothing free, or prices were higher, or the insurance conditions were worse.

We have also compiled good hotels in different price categories close to excellent beaches.
