We have been to Rhodes every year for 30 years visiting in every month between May and the last 2 weeks in October. July and August are very hot, May, June and September a bit cooler but nice and pleasant, by October jackets are needed at night.
Holiday
We always stay in Rhodes Town at the Ibiscus Hotel which is easy walking for the old town and mandraki harbour for tours. Going again July this year and can't wait.
Places Recommended
Lindos is nice but can get very hot. The old town in Rhodes is a must!

Rhodes is beautiful. It is the second time we are going there. I recommend renting a car and driving around Rhodes. You can find many nice beaches.
Places Recommended
Rhodes old town is just amazing, one day is not enough to see everything and suck in all the atmosphere.
Another place to see is Lindos. I recommend seeing it in the morning or evening. In the day, it can be really warm there and there are many, many people. The beach in Lindos used to be full of people.

Weather was lovely in the Dodecanese -Rhodes, Symos, Kos, Nisyros and Timi
Holiday
We booked a sailing holiday through Late Sail and had a Bavaria 46.
this boat lacked :
holding tank for toilets which made life rather grim for us aboard. We had to hope there were facilities where we moored-often there were none.
One by one we were all sick with stomach upsets but didn't realise it was the oven gas leak that was causing this. on the penultimate day of our holiday while moored in Rhodes Harbour, the gas oven was on for our lunch. We were up on deck and by chance saw flames coming from the back of the oven. It was a miracle that we were able to extinguish the flames before the boat caught fire or blew up.
The owners were told of this but we don't believe they will have done anything about it.
Places Recommended
Rhodes was lovely as were all the islands and we had a lovely time despite adversity.
Not sure if Late Sail can be recommended

The weather in April/May is warm but you may still need a jacket in the evening.
June/July & August: lots of suncream as these are very hot months!
March, September & October: you can expect a few rain showers but its still 13-17 degrees.
Rhodes has a dry heat but the smell is amazing.
I am going back 29th March 2012 for a week. It will be my 27th time!
Holiday
Rhodes is amazing. They need more tourists though as the prices have gone up a little.
Come to Rhodes and help the Greek people bring the old Rhodes back!
Gorgeous weather, gorgeous little towns, relaxing beaches, crystal clear waters, amazing boat trips, good nightlife in Falaraki and Lindos. Quieter in Pefkos/ Lardos/Pylona. Amazing food, lovely wine.. What more could you ask for?
Places Recommended
Pefkos! THE place to be.. Short drive to Lindos which has an amazing selection of shops/bars and restaurants. Pefkos is out of the way but still has a spark!
Pylona is very quiet.. perfect little village near Pefkos and Lindos. Its a traditional village with lovely greek tavernas.
I would also recommend Prassonissi, which is right down the bottom of the island. Would need to get transport as it's about 20-30 mins away. Its where the 2 seas meet. MUST be seen its beautiful!
And if you need a McDonalds fix, head to Falaraki: it's the younger part of the island, full of busy bars and clubs!
Also Rhodes Town if you fancy doing a bit of posh shopping or if you want to visit the harbour.
Rhodes is a lovely island which has so much to offer-thats why ive been 26 times: It never gets boring!

The day we arrived it had been raining. No signs of it in the evening as usual. 13th time in in
Rhodes. Still a couple of days holiday left, hope the weather stays warm and windy till end of our holidays! The welcome back home in
Finland is freezing if the forecast is right - only four degrees (celsius). I only hope it won't rain - ice sticks back in
Finland :)
Holiday
We were travelling with my parents and aunts from my mother's side. Lots of wondering around the Old Town, trip to
Lindos and of course tons of loud laughing! Some of us were first timers in travelling to the South
EU. All of them loved it here. Already making plans for a new trip!
Places Recommended
From our earlier trips I would recommend a trip to Emmery wine farm and distillery. Of course Mnt. Filerimos - good place for taking scenery photos. Trip around the
Rhodes city (by bus or by Mini Train) is nice too. Aquarium (not recommend for claustrophobics) and Water Park, especially for families with children.

The weather was hot in
Rhodes, and by the end of our two weeks it was very hot and you had to get in the shade.
Holiday
The hotel Rhoda Star was a very good hotel.
Staff were very friendly and the rooms were cleaned every day.
You could go and see other places, the bus prices were very good 4 euro return to Rhodes town.
The night life was quite in the hotel and the bar was open till the last person went to be. You could go out to all the other bars in the town, and they would stay open till in about 7.00 am.
The resturants were very good if you were not all inclusive but even then it was a nice change to go out and eat the food.

Last year, same time was good all week, so it's a little unpredictable at this time.
Well worth the risk though!!

Great for a break and definately worth a visit. It is a good place to relax as it is not the liveliest of resorts at this time of year, suited to couples and families.

Pefkos is beautiful,
Lindos is great at night out when its cooler. We didn't make it to
Rhodes which is a shame (because of heat). We will definatley go back to Dimitris studios but in cooler months.

Whatever these so called weather experts say, they cannot get it right.
All are showing max temps of 81'ish. Its a big fat lie, Today has been 101F or 40C.
If you knew the truth you wouldn't go. It's spoilt my holiday. The BBC are terrible. All last week it was supposed to be 78 in the night (OK correct) and early 80's in the day. No No No.
Its been 100 why do they do it. We travelled all over
Rhodes this week and the temps was always 98/102? Wrecked our holiday as it was far too hot to do anything.

Great but weather far too hot. Food was of a usual standard, the beaches were ok but were surrounded by scrubby rocky land.

I have been to
Rhodes about 23 times, used to go 3 times a year when i was younger, I'm only 19 now.
I fell in love with
Pefkos at a very young age and have been visiting ever since.
I am actually going back out there on the 14th April 2010 to work until October. And my parents have decided to move over there next year.This is how much we all love it.
Places Recommended
I recommend the little beach bar near
Kiotari, they serve yummy gyros there.
Also Finas, has some great Karaoke by Johnna & Helen.
Also Prasonissi where the two seas meet, its a beautiful right at the end of the island.
Lindos,, with the beautiful white houses and the yummy crepe bars.
For nightlife go to
Falaraki or
Lindos, after 11pm it reallly gets going.

First visit was in June 07 when our daughter got married in
Kolymbia. The temperature then was between 85-90 degrees. Even at night there was no let up from the heat.
It was far too hot for sightseeing so we returned in early May of the following year and stayed in
Rhodes Town - on the windy side of the island facing
Turkey.
The weather was fantastic and rarely dipped below 80, ideal for sightseeing and the cooler nights made for better sleep.
Holiday
Our holiday in
Rhodes Town was one of the best we have ever had, so much so that we will be returning in May 2010!
Hotel Blue Sky was nice although food not of the best with weird and wonderful offerings like chips at breakfast.
However the staff were nice and hotel location ideal (just 15 min stroll from the Old Town) so we are returning there on B B basis in 2010.
Only stayed a week but it was plenty time to explore the Old Town and get lost down the many old and narrow streets off the beaten track.
We found all the islanders welcoming and extremely friendly.
Places Recommended
Eros was a small bar in th Old Town with sociable staff and lovely food.
Taverna Philipos also good service and excellent food.
Because we visited quite a lot during our holiday on the last day we had free wine with our lunch.
Only drawback when visiting in May is that the Old Town is VERY quiet at night.

Went for a week at the very end of September 2009.
It could not have been better; in the low 80's with a gentle breeze and occassional cloud - No rain - Perfect.
Like a really good
English summer!
Holiday
We stayed all inclusive at the Mitsis Rodos Village in
Kiotari - about an hours drive from airport. Easy to find in a hire car.
We knew the hotel was not new. I would guess early 90's but it was very pleasant and kept very clean. The food was very well presented with a good selection and all the staff were very courteous and pleasant. I have to say that I think we had one of the best rooms, with a sea view balcony you could hold dances on!
Kiotari is relatively quiet, not quaint and the hotels are virtually all the entertainment on offer. Beach ok too.
Places Recommended
Get a car, it's a must do - book it back home - you can nearly save half the price!! Good roads in general.
We visited
Lindos - pictuesque with good sandy beach. Down side is too many there tourists in coaches.
On the subject of beaches - they differ tremendously and it's down to your preferences and transport.
Pity missed out on
Rhodes Town Citadel - we ran out of time but will see it next time!
Sea warmer than pool - great!

Daughter got married at
St Pauls Bay and we could not have wished for a better day. Thompson rep/wedding planner had everything sorted and organised.
We stayed at the Lindia Thallassa Apartments, right on the beach, in
Pefkos. Rooms were delightful - staff very very pleasant, hotel staff very pleasant. Hotel pool was great for everyone - even our friends came along to join us at our pool as it was much better than theirs. Would not hesitate in re-booking to this complex.

Weather in June is always wonderful, not too hot, 32 deg is the hottest. No cloud and wonderful sunshine and blue skies. In September the temperature is around 28 deg and we have been going twice a year for 10 years. Have had two awesome storms in September during that time but 1/2 hour later sun is out, everything is dry again.
Holiday
We always stay at Cosmos Maris near Lardos, self catering. The hotel has a pool and pool bar which also does food and the rooms are very comfotable and clean, and the family could not be more helpful. There is a local Taverna just down the road called Dimitras which serves lovely food and you can walk to Lardos in the evening and there are many good restaurants and bars. We always come home from holiday wishing we were still there, we have never had anything to complain about. The Greek people are so friendly and helpful.

July 2009 - very hot! Up to 40 deg. We didn't see a single cloud in two weeks. According to a local taverna owner, cloud develops in September (at equinox) so temperature falls to about 22 deg until November.
As I can only take holidays during the school holidays, we decided that we would attempt a Greek island in peak summer but it proved too much. Other people may not be affected by the heat in the same way.
Holiday
Stayed at the Atlantica Imperial Resort hotel in Kolymbia (east coast, south of Faliraki). Superb hotel and food, stunning interior, beautifully landscaped grounds.
The heat meant that we only ventured out of Kolymbia once; we caught the local bus to Lindos, swam in the bay, had lunch in the square and took a donkey ride up to the acropolis. It was too hot to stay there for more than 10 minutes, so we descended on foot and sought shade.
Places Recommended
Lindos was lovely. I was disappointed that we were not able to discover other areas such as Rhodes Town, Epta Pitges, Butterfly Valley, etc but we decided that comfort had to be a higher priority that sightseeing in the heat.

From mid May to end September the weather is always hot.
Always guaranteed sunshine and hot temperatures.
Make sure you take plenty of sun cream.
Holiday
I always choose Haraki, about 8 miles up the coast from Lindos.
It's quiet, no discos but enough restaurants & bars to keep you happy.
Only one hotel but plenty of appartments to book privately, mainly because the tour operators don't offer the apartment owners a fair deal. Only Olympic do packages to Haraki now.
On the beach all day and eat and drink all night. It's absolute heaven.
Book your own flights, not too cheap but in some cases some good deals will be found. Details for flights and accomodation can be found at www.haraki.co.uk
There is'nt much in the way of things for kids to do here which makes it ideal for tranquility seeking adults.
Places Recommended
Not many trips now as tour companies have pulled out but there are car hire facilities which means you can explore the island at your leisure and for some reason the bar/restaurant owners have kept their prices static for 3 years now. Given the state of the Greek economy(which is worse than ours in the UK) that's some feat.

Holiday
I'm not into visiting the same place twice however this island was worth a 2nd visit and didn't dissapoint! Stayed in Rhodes Town which was a perfect location for romantic evenings spent each night in the beautiful old town, plenty of eating and drinking places in super surroundings and wonderful evening walks! Really buzz of this island, friendly locals and Oct was a good time to visit to miss the crowds.The size of this island is perfect for a 7 day holiday as you feel quite satisfied you have seen a good chunk of it

I went to
Faliraki in Rhodes at the end of July the weather was extremely hot with no rain. However being near the coast meant that the breeze was enought to make the weather easier to deal with. Its shorts and T-shirts in the day. Even at night its best to stick to shorts etc as the first time i went to rhodes on a night out on bar street i wore jeans and believe me i almost melted!!!!!!!!!
Holiday
Both times I have been has been awesome i am about to go back on 8th June (WOO HOO). If you are into clubbing and drinking you will never get bored in
faliraki bar street and club street are a blast. However if you are looking for a more gentle holiday there are plenty of places such as the old town and
Lindos so you can enjoy a more traditional greek holiday. There are enough resteraunts to never eat the same place more than once and the food is wicked. A word must go out to how freindly all of the people appear to be in Rhodes you are made to feel welcome where ever you go.
Places Recommended
Q Club
Bunnys or any bar/club on either of the streets.
The water park is very impressive. Old town is like the london (Alot smaller though) of Rhodes.
Lindos is an old greek town built into a mountain with a wonderful secluded bay.

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.
