Discover the Art of Luxury Travel
Endless sandy or pebbly beaches, unique crystal clear waters, verdant valleys, mountainous villages, countless cultural and historical sites, and amazing people make up a cosmopolitan destination of exquisite beauty and appeal; Rhodes Island, the birthplace of Colossus, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, an island full of love, romance, and seduction.
Visitors are spoilt for choice in the capital of the Dodecanese: a walk in the streets of the medieval town, a swim at award-winning beaches, dining at superb restaurants, touring traditional villages, and vibrant nightlife; Rhodes has it all!
One of the best-preserved medieval settlements in the world, the Old Town of Rhodes has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Protected inside its imposing walls – a boundary between past and present – is the island’s coat of arms. Every stone tells a story. Ancient statues, marble crests, fountains, mosques, and hammams, the Clock Tower with its breathtaking view of the Aegean… a rich heritage left behind by past civilizations.
Nonetheless, the beauties of the island of the Knights do not finish here! The mountainous terrain of Rhodes is dominated by a rocky coastline with rich cultural sceneries that create an unimaginable contrast of nature.
The mountainous villages on the southern part of the island unveil memories from medieval times, still maintaining their traditional colors and local customs, traditions, and dialects, while the seaside villages of the eastern coast are the most romantic and charming spots in Rhodes. The abundance of tropical seashores blends mysteriously with the verdant hills and creates unique natural sceneries eager to be explored.
No holiday in Rhodes is complete without visiting Lindos. Not just because of the 3rd century BC acropolis found there or even because of the town’s sugar-cubed houses and labyrinth of alleyways loved by everyone who passes through. It’s because climbing to Lindos’ temple, 116 meters above sea level, you follow precisely the same path as the ancients who built the acropolis and the knights that used it as a place of worship and defence.
