Rhodes

With its guaranteed sunshine, beaches and bars, Rhodes is great for girls who want to have fun in the sun. Bronze yourselves on the numerous sandy beaches before hitting the bars and clubs in Rhodes Town centre and Faliraki. Things don't get going until late there, so partying hard, lie-ins and lounging around the pool are the way forward. Rhodes has something for everyone. The old town will fascinate culture vultures while sunseekers can head to one of its 42 beautiful beaches (alhough the children may prefer to make a beeline for Faliraki's Waterpark, the largest in Europe)

From the airport

Bus. There is a bus every 45 minutes to Rhodes city.

Ibiscus sells unusual medieval, oriental and naval items and replicas. Swords, miniatures, jewels and more are based on originals and legends. 

Ascend to Monte Smith (Acropolis of Rhodes) at the main boulevard for a sunning view to lalysos Bay. 

Get off the well-beaten path and explore the southern districts of the Medieval Town, filled with lesser-known shops.

Day trip

Kallithea Springs. This 80-year-old complex with beautiful springs also has a magnificient beach surrounded by a small pine-tree forest, with plenty of space to roam and a cafeteria for refreshments. It is just 15 minutes from Rhodes Town, near Faliraki.
