Rhodes is absolutely fantastic. Clean beaches, excellent roads, beautiful sites and villages and a lot of historical monuments. Everything which has to be seen was easy to reach. When this east coast road is finished, it will be even better. The Old Town is a beauty itself, every time we visited we found something new to see. Visit the museums to get a real view of the island's culture. My children loved the Aquarium. I enjoyed a lot the Museum of Modern Art. I think it was a good idea to display art in an old, Venetian building, it gave a sense of uniqueness to the museum.
Our hotel was in Afandou to be close to a beach, but we rented a car for three days to see the whole island. Lindos was very impressive, much better than the ancient Acropolis of Rhodes and better organized. I heard that a Hollywood movie was once flimed in Lindos, but I don't know more details. By chance we run onto the valley of the butterflies and loved this place. It was a shore to find a green area with waterfalls and get a bit protected from the hot sun.
If we had a few more days, we would take the boat to Simi or Halki, but we stayed only a week and wanted to see all of Rhodes.
