Rhodes City is the lively capital of the Greek island of Rhodes, combining a famous medieval old town with sandy and pebbly beaches close at hand. It is a favourite with UK couples and families who want to mix beach days with a genuine sense of history, all wrapped in reliable summer sun.

You can wander cobbled streets in the morning and be by the sea in the afternoon, which makes it a versatile base.

Where to stay in Rhodes City

Aquamare City and Beach Hotel is a four-star coastal hotel in Rhodes Town, within walking distance of the beach and the historical centre. Mitsis La Vita is a four-star beachfront hotel in Rhodes Town, handy for those who want to be right by the water.

Getting there and when to go

Rhodes is reached by flights from the UK in around four hours, with Rhodes City a short transfer from the island's airport. The season runs through the long, hot, dry Greek summer, with late spring and early autumn offering pleasant warmth and fewer crowds, which also suits sightseeing.

Beaches and resorts

Rhodes City has beaches within easy reach, a mix of sand and pebble with clear water and good facilities. The town itself sits between two stretches of coast, so the sea is never far from the historic streets.

Food and things to do

Greek tavernas and a wide range of restaurants serve fresh fish, grilled meats and classic dishes. The medieval old town is the headline attraction, perfect for exploring on foot, alongside swimming, shopping and relaxed seafront dining.

Who it suits

Rhodes City suits couples and families who want both beach and culture in one place, without choosing between them. It is ideal for those who like a base with plenty to see and do.
