A Place That Has It All
THE AREA
Welcome to Rhodes, the capital of the Dodecanese, an island which is ideal not only for those who want to relax but also for those looking for an action-packed holiday! With its bright green hills, rich green valleys and uninterrupted line of golden beaches, Rhodes is truly a blessed place. Add in the excellent facilities for tourism, the island’s special blend of cosmopolitan and traditional, and numerous cultural and archaeological sites and you’ve got the perfect holiday.
As you enter one of the largest medieval towns in Europe through the Gate of Freedom, it soon becomes obvious that the Old Town of Rhodes is a mosaic of different cultures and civilizations; rarely does a visitor have the chance to stroll within medieval walls and explore twenty-four centuries of history. A place you have to visit!
CUISINE
Rhodes has it all. You will have the chance to eat everything you want, from fast food to French and Chinese food, as there is a great variety of restaurants. Of course, you should try the local cuisine of Rhodes, which includes Greek traditional dishes, with certain small differentiations. There is a great variety of dishes that can satisfy every gourmet, those who prefer meat, those who prefer fish and vegetarians.
NIGHTLIFE
Rhodes is famous for its intense nightlife in some resorts. A very nice place to spend a night out is Rhodes Town. There are many bars in the streets of the old town, but the most central nightlife spot in Rhodes Town is Hippocrates Square, surrounded by many bars and cafeterias. Faliraki is also a very popular nightlife spot on the island, particularly popular among British tourists. Clubs in Faliraki stay open till the early hours and they usually close at sunrise.
