discover historic rhodes island

By far, the largest and historically the most important of the Dodecanese islands, Rhodes abounds in beaches, wooded valleys and ancient history. The atmospheric Old Town, UNESCO’s cultural heritage monument, is a maze of cobbled streets that will spirit you back to the days of the Byzantine Empire and beyond. Go further south, to picturesque Lindos, capped by an ancient Acropolis, where white-washed houses pour into turquoise bays.

Whether you are here on a cultural journey through past civilisations, or simply for some laidback beach time, buzzing nightlife, or diving in crystal-clear waters, it is all here.
