Rhodes
Greece
Rhodes, the largest of Greece’s Dodecanese islands, is a captivating blend of ancient history, scenic beauty, and Mediterranean charm. Bathed in sunshine for most of the year, it’s a destination where medieval heritage meets crystal-clear seas and golden beaches.
At the heart of the island lies Rhodes Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe. Stroll through its cobbled streets, explore the Palace of the Grand Master, and soak up the vibrant atmosphere of its markets, cafés, and historic architecture.

Lindos, with its whitewashed houses and hilltop Acropolis, is a must-see, while Faliraki and Ixia provide lively resorts with water sports, dining, and nightlife. For a quieter escape, the island’s interior is filled with olive groves, pine forests, and scenic mountain villages waiting to be discovered.
