7 Nights Family Holiday in Rhodes

Rhodes Holidays

Holidays to Rhodes take you to the largest of the Dodecanese Islands, where you'll find a blend of UNESCO-worthy historical sites and picture-perfect beaches. Fly direct from Dublin to ‘The Island of the Knights', and discover exactly why Rhodes is one of the most visited destinations in the Greek Islands.

Beaches galore

Rhodes benefits from a hot summer Mediterranean climate, so it’s natural that soaking up the rays on the beaches is one of the most popular activities on the island. From Rhodes Town on the northern tip, all the way down to the Lindos peninsula, the east coast is an almost uninterrupted stretch of golden sand. There are all sorts of beaches, from Faliraki’s lively beachfront to Kolymbia’s peaceful hidden coves.

A historical hotspot

Rhodes Town, of course, is famous for its history. The city was home to the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was also ruled by the Knights of Saint John in the 14th century, who built the city into what it is today. Much of the old town still remains. But don’t overlook other fascinating historical hotspots like Lindos, part of the Dorian Hexapolis of ancient cities.

Village life

Tourism plays a huge role in the economy of Rhodes, so you’ll find that many resorts are quite international. However, there are some places you can stay where you’ll enjoy a unique glimpse into real village life in the Greek Islands. Pastida, 11 kilometres from Rhodes Town, is a mountain village in the foothills of Mount Filerimos, where you can sample authentic Greek dishes in the local town square.
