The 10 Best Things to Do in Rhodes, Greece
The largest of the twelve Dodecanese islands on the Aegean's eastern edge, Rhodes is also its most popular. The well-preserved medieval city of Rhodes sits at the north of the island of the same name. High rise hotels line the northern and eastern coastlines. Small villages and resorts dot the island's other shores. Whether your interests are beaches, bars or ancient sites, Rhodes offers an abundance of all three. Authentic Greece can be found in the hilly interior of the 50-mile-long island.

Surrounded by medieval walls, this old part of Rhodes is the location of many interesting attractions of historical significance.

This is Medieval city located in the heart of the island and it has lots of buildings inside. Churches, Mosques, shops, restaurants and houses. It must be visited at least 1 days to understand and enjoy...You can take amazing pictures. Only the problem is little bit expensive cause it is very touristic.
2. Monastery Tsambika

We we're staying at the Atlantica Imperial which is about 20 minutes down the beach from the start of the walk. You can do this walk with trainers however proper boots would be better as it is very rocky and uneven. From the Casa Cook complex in Kolymbia where the walk begins it takes approx 30 minutes to reach the restaurant and car park of the monastery. It will take a further 15 minutes to climb the 300 big steps to the top however these are relatively easy to climb. The huge dissapointment being there is no monastery to go in just a church and selling outlet at the very top. This is made up for by the magnificent views where you can see as far as Lindos.

The Synagogue is tranquil and beautiful. There are 37 Jews living in Rhodes at the moment and you can tell that this place is well loved as the centre of the community.
4. Street of the Knights

Great place to spend several hours seeing the surrounding old castle,walking down the street of the knights then shopping in the small stores, and having lunch in the square or just having a greek beer and people watching! Lots of places to eat, shop. Many Cats around if you are a cat lover. Places where you can pay a small price to see ancient artifacts (castle museum). Recommend taking a tour of the Castle area including this historic with free time afterwards to do the above activities. Without the tour you will miss a lot of the history. Our group tour did struggle a little with the cobblestone road and fairly steep hill so if you have problems walking it can be a little bit of a challenge.

A different way to holiday. Change a beach program to an educational program in the star garden. Apartments and Observatory offers a remarkable experience, panoramic view, breathtaking night scenery, relaxation, instruments of Observatory, refreshment, performance of the enthusiastic and hospitable owner Stergos Manolakas. The scenic location that the "Hipparchos" Οbservatory is housed, offers at its guests the privilege of tranquility close to nature and breathtaking scenery. The guest has the opportunity to live an experience of observational Astronomy with our instruments of "Hipparchus" Observatory, observing the moon, planets, nebulae, galaxies, and many other astronomical objects of the starry sky. Made with care in our star-garden the guest can observe uranography, even find out how a live sundial works and see a static geographical compass orientation, and much more... Η πρόσβαση στο αστεροσκοπείο επιτρέπεται σε παιδιά μόνο άνω των 7 ετών. Access to the Observatory allowed only for children older than 7 years. Zutritt zur Sternwarte nur für Kinder über 7 Jahre. Вход в обсерваторию разрешён только с детьми старше 7 лет How to find us: Coming from the highway Rhodes Town to Lindos you pass some traffic lights, after the road to Faliraki Centre and the St. Nektarios Church and about 150 meters away you find the next set of traffic lights where you branch off left and continue the street on the right. Pass Evi-hotel and a small Roundabout. Continue about 350 meters then go right towards Liberia-hotel, on the left there is a Tennis court. After about 650 meters you will find a crossing (Profitis Amos Church) here take the middle street way, so you will find after 250 meters two yellow buildings. Passing by take the street right hand up the hill. Then turn left.

7. Agios Pavlos Beach (Saint Paul)
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Linda Y - Frisco, Texas
Our private tour with Rhodes Taxi and Limo Service included a visit here. It is said that Saint Paul stopped at this small rocky bay around 57 AD to preach Christianity. A small, picturesque Greek Orthodox chapel dedicated to Saint Paul commemorates the visit. The bay is almost totally surrounded by cliffs, with just a small opening into the sea. There are 2 Beaches at the bay, separated by rocks. The water is clear and a beautiful shade of deep blue. Combined with a spectacular view of the Acropolis (which by the way provides a spectacular view of the beach), the Bay is stunning! This is the perfect place for a big fat Greek wedding! If only I were single and Greek.
