Getting There and When to Visit

Rhodes is exceptionally well-connected from the UK, with frequent direct flights from major northern hubs like Manchester and Liverpool. The flight time is manageable for families, and upon arrival, transfers to the town centre are typically efficient, meaning you can be enjoying your first drink by the pool within a short time of landing.

The best time to visit is during the shoulder months of May, June, September, and October, when the weather is warm enough for swimming but the midday sun is slightly less intense than in the height of July and August. The cooling Aegean breeze is a welcome feature throughout the summer months.

Beaches and Local Character

The coastline around Rhodes Town is diverse, offering everything from organised sandy beaches with sun loungers and parasols to more secluded pebble coves. You can easily spend your mornings working on your tan and your afternoons enjoying watersports, as many of the local beaches are well-equipped with amenities catering to tourists.

The town itself is a wonderful place to wander. The architecture is a fascinating mix of different historical influences, providing a beautiful backdrop for an evening walk. You will find that the pace of life here is relaxed, and it is easy to slip into the Mediterranean rhythm of long, lazy lunches and late evening dinners.

Beyond the table, there is plenty to occupy your time.
