To enjoy Rhodes Holidays, you must dedicate at least ten days to it. If you want to be in the center, choose as a base of accommodation a good hotel around the city of Rhodes, in Ixia (almost a continuation of the city), Ialyssos, Kallithea or Faliraki.

Knights Street with its imposing buildings, the Palace of the Grand Master, the Archaeological Museum, the folklore bazaar on Socrates Street, the Suleiman Mosque and the ascending Arion Square, the old baths, and some very beautiful bars.
