Blessed with more hours of sunshine than any other Greek island, golden sandy beaches and a rugged turquoise coast, the God of Sun “ Helios “ chose this island as its bride.

The old Town of Rhodes is the largest inhabited walled medieval city in Europe and included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage sites. 

Steeped in history and virtually unchanged since the Middle Ages, the old town is a labyrinth of cobbled streets and hidden squares housing all types of craft shops, tavernas and bars.  The cosmopolitan new town with its innumerable boutiques and international restaurants centres around Mandraki Harbour, where boat trips can be taken to the island of Symi or Turkey.

Rhodes Town is only 4 km away and easily reached from the Rodian Amathus Hotel, Ixia by local transport, allowing you to explore this fascinating town at your own leisure and visit the museums and the Palace of the Grand Masters.  Frequent buses stop directly outside the hotel and taxis journeys are short and inexpensive. 

A boat trip to Lindos, the prettiest village on the island is not to be missed.  Brilliant white houses climb the hill from the bay to the cliff top ruins of the acropolis perched on a 116m rock, affording – literally – breathtaking views.  Built during the fourth century BC, the temple is one of the most famous outside Athens.
