Holidays in Rhodes
Rhodes is the largest of Dodecanese islands situated between the Greek mainland and the island of Cyprus.
One of the best loved and attractive Greek islands, Rhodes has a beautiful coastline, a fascinating medieval town, and charming traditional villages.
The history of Rhodes dates back to before recorded time but from the 7th century B.C. to the 3rd century A.D. Rhodes became the predominant power in the Aegean. A thousand years later in 1309 Rhodes fell into the hands of the Knights of St John, again becoming a centre of power. This rich history and the influence of invading cultures has caused Rhodes to become one of the most interesting and diverse of the Greek islands to visit.
The town of Rhodes built within the walls of the old city has been identified by UNESCO as a Monument of International Heritage, and is a must for any tourist to visit.
Further down the coast the picturesque village of Lindos, dominated by the magnificent Acropolis towering above it provides one of the most stunning views in Greece.
Rhodes offers the opportunity to have a relaxing holiday in superb locations such as the Rodian Amathus Beach Resort, managed by Amathus Hotels, which has recently been refurbished to a very high standard.
