Weather : We've been to Rhodes many times and without exception, the Summers are wonderful. If you visit Rhodes from mid-May through to the end of September, the daytime temperature should never be less than 20 Celsius and the norm for July/August is pushing 30 in the Lindos area. You're also unlikely to get any rain during your holiday. Clear blue skies are the norm on the island. Rhodes benefits from cooling offshore breezes, especially on the West Coast but don't be fooled by these welcome Zephyrs..... Use your sunscreen!

Holiday : Rhodes offers a huge variety in surroundings and amenities. There's a lot to do for a wide spectrum of holidaymakers. The Old Town and Lindos are literally 'living history' and are World Heritage sites. At the coastal resorts, you can be as busy or as peaceful as you like. Accomodation ranges from simple, self-catering apartments to all-inclusive luxury hotels. There's so much to see and so many places to visit that you'll never see it all, even if you visit for a month! Above all, the Rhodians are simply perfect hosts and good English is spoken wherever you care to go.

Places Recommended : The Old Town and Lindos are must-see venues, especially if you're interested in history and atmosphere. Seven Springs and the Valley of the Butterflies are areas of outstanding natural beauty. There are many villages on the island, but in our opinion Gennadi is the perfect vacation spot, being right on the beach.
