Beautiful Beaches And Sophisticated Shopping

Rhodes Town holidays will have you perched on the north east tip of Rhodes in the largest and most developed resort on the island. Holidays in Rhodes Town offer something for everybody from the cosmopolitan New Town to the extraordinary Old Town which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The New Town has a lively and cosmopolitan feel with its wide open squares with an abundance of shops including sophisticated boutiques, potteries, and jewellery and designer shops and is renowned as a shopper's paradise. The Old Town has a maze of narrow cobbled lanes and amazing architecture that dates back to the 16th century Knights of St John. The Medieval Crusader Fortress, the 14th century Palace of the Grand Masters, the Mandriki windmills and lighthouse, the Mosque of Suleiman and the archaeological museum and aquarium and Byzantine buildings are amazing sights to visit in the Old Town.

Away from the historical nature of Rhodes Town the resort has two beautiful beaches of shingle and sand that delve into the warm crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean making them very popular. There are plenty of sun loungers and parasols on the beach and both beaches offer an abundance of water sports including paragliding, snorkelling and pedalos.

Bustling Markets And Greek Tavernas

Mandraki Harbour in the New Town has a bustling market during the day and in the evening the Greek tavernas serve fresh seafood and locally produced wine. No matter where you are in Rhodes Town there is an abundance of restaurants to choose from to suit every palette including traditional and international menus. Some of the quieter street has small romantic restaurants with an amazing atmosphere. Orfanidou Street in the New Town has an array of lively discos, bars and traditional 'bouzouki' which are Greek music venues where you can dance the night away.
