Destination
Rhodos
Rhodes is one of Greece's most established islands for package holidays, with a long season, large selection of hotels, family-friendly beaches, medieval town, villages and lively holiday areas. Íya works well when the customer wants many choices and simple logistics.
Rhodes has an international airport and many direct seasonal routes. The island is large enough that transfer and hire car selection matter: the west coast, Rhodes town and Faliraki are easier from the airport than Lindos and the south coast. The old town, Lindos, beaches and boat trips are important reasons for choosing the island.
Best months
May, June, September and October are good choices. July and August are the hottest and busiest.
Weather
The Dodecanese are referred to as one of Greece's sunniest areas, and Rhodes has a long, dry summer season. The heat can be intense in the middle of summer, while the shoulder seasons offer better conditions for the old town, excursions and families with children.
Transfer
The airport makes Rhodes easy for package holidays. Transfers are often short to Rhodes town, Ixia/Ialyssos and Faliraki, while Lindos and the south coast take longer. Car hire is useful for beaches, villages and sights outside the resort bases.

Destinations in Rhodos
Afandou
Afandou is suitable for those who want a quieter Rhodes base with a long beach, a village feel and easier access to golf, Tsambika and other east coast excursions. The area works for families and couples who like the beach and a slower pace, but it is less walkable and less lively than Faliraki or Rhodes town. Check the hotel location carefully, because the village and the beach are not always very close together.

Archangelos
Archangelos is suitable for travelers who want a more local Rhodes feel, with village life and Stegna beach as a natural bathing area nearby. This is a quieter and more traditional choice than the big resort towns, best for couples and families who enjoy tavernas, beach days and small excursions. Car or taxi hire makes your stay easier if you want to switch between the village, the beach and the rest of the island.

Faliraki
Faliraki is suitable for those who want Rhodes with a beach, activities and dining close by: long beach, water park, many restaurants, bars, activities and good bus/taxi access. It is strong for families who want a simple holiday and for adults who want life and nightlife, but not for those who seek silence. Choose your hotel area carefully, because Faliraki can be both family-friendly and very lively depending on the location.

Ialyssos
Ialyssos is suitable for those who want to live on the west coast with beach, windsurfing, restaurants and a short distance to Rhodes town. The area is more local and a bit quieter than Ixia and Faliraki, but still has good holiday infrastructure. The wind and pebble/beach type mean that families with small children should check the hotel beach carefully.
Read more
Ixia
Ixia is suitable for those who want hotel comfort, restaurants, beach bars and a very short distance to Rhodes town. It is a practical choice for couples and adults who want to combine beach and town, and for families who prioritize resort facilities over a quiet sandy beach. The wind on the west coast and the large hotel feel means that you should choose a hotel with the right pool and beach solution.

Kallithea
Kallithea is suitable for couples and families who want beautiful bays, Kallithea Springs, good resort opportunities and a short drive to both Rhodes Town and Faliraki. The area feels more relaxed and pretty than the most hectic resort towns, but is not a large local center in itself. It is smart to check if the hotel has easy beach access, as some of the best bathing spots are organized or connected to facilities.
Read more
Kolymbia
Kolymbia is suitable for families and couples who want a quieter resort base between Rhodes town and Lindos. Here you get a beach, hotels and some restaurants without the same pace as Faliraki, and the area works well if the goal is a simple and stress-free beach holiday. It is less suitable for customers who want a lot of nightlife or a large local center, and a car or bus is useful for more experiences.

Koskinou
Koskinou is suitable for those who want to live in or near a traditional village with a short distance to Kallithea, Faliraki and Rhodes town. It is best for couples and adults who like colorful alleys, local atmosphere and short excursions, rather than living right on the beach. For families with children, the area works best with a car or a hotel that solves transport and pool/beach needs.

Kremasti
Kremasti is suitable for travelers who want a more local west coast base near the airport and Rhodes town, with beach and restaurants without the classic all-inclusive feel. It is a practical and often more affordable area for couples and adults, but the wind and beach type make it less suitable for small children who want to swim all day. Bus and taxi make the city easy to use as a base, but a car gives more freedom.
Read more
Lardos
Lardos is suitable for those who want a quieter and more local base in south-eastern Rhodes, with taverns, village atmosphere and beach/hotel areas nearby. It is a good choice for couples and families who prefer peace and value to nightlife, but still want to be within walking distance of Lindos and Pefkos. Car, taxi or good bus check is smart if you want to use both the village and the coast.

Lindos
Lindos is suitable for couples and adults who want Rhodes at its most iconic: whitewashed village, Acropolis, beach coves, rooftop restaurants, shops and evening atmosphere. Families can have a great holiday here, but narrow streets, stairs, heat and a lot of day trip traffic make hotel location extra important. Choose Lindos for romance, views and experiences, not for maximum tranquility or lowest price.
Read more
Pefkos
Pefkos is well suited for families and couples who want a relaxed but not boring beach base near Lindos. The area has a sandy beach, many restaurants and bars at a slower pace than Faliraki, and is a safe choice for easy holiday everyday life. It is not the place for heavy nightlife or a strong local village feel, but works very well for price-conscious customers who want a comfortable beach holiday.

Rhodes city
Rhodes town is suitable for those who want to combine beach, old town, restaurants, shopping, bars and easy transport in one base. It is particularly strong for couples, adults and families with slightly older children who want experiences and city life close by, not just pool and beach. The area is less quiet than pure seaside towns, so hotel location matters a lot if you want to sleep quietly or travel with small children.

Tholos
It suits travellers who prefer a relaxed base and watersports to a busy resort strip. It may feel too quiet if you want lots of evening entertainment.
