Rhodes Reviews -General

We visited Rhodes on our way to Mykonos. We stayed there for 5 days to see the island but of course we only managed some places, as it is so big. The island was clean, the beaches were gorgeous and the ancient sites sprawled over were marvelous. We had stayed at a boutique hotel in Rhodes city. This hotel was in fact in the Old Town in the city. Here we got to see some splendid medieval architecture. The narrow streets had the old warm charm and were lined with antique shops and restaurants, selling delicious food.

The best option for us was to rent a car on the island. It gave us the freedom to explore on our own the various sites. The locals helped us out with directions because maps were confusing us. We visited Lindos, the ancient ruins of Ialyssos and Kameiros, the Aquarium and the Butterflies.

Faliraki beach is definitely the most crowded beach on Rhodes. There were tourists sprawled on the loungers throughout the length of the beach. I really have no idea when this beach remains empty. Another thing is this beach is not for children since sometimes it tends to get a bit rowdy with teenagers all over the place.
