The largest island in the Dodecanese attracts more than 1.5 million holidaymakers every year. No wonder, because on Rhodes<\/strong> miles of sandy beaches alternate with impressive mountain massifs, original villages meet lively seaside resorts, and impressive Knights’ castles crown hilltops all across the island.<\/p>\n

\u00bbThe almost 80 km long sunny island of Rhodes offers much more than beach and sea and is ideal for an extended holiday with many excursions.\u00ab<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The northern coast of Rhodes is the tourist heart of the island, with package hotels and all-inclusive resorts dominating the picture. In the far south, tourism seems to be only slowly gaining momentum. Long-time fans are drawn to the island’s hinterland anyway, where they can discover Rhodes island<\/strong> away from the crowds.<\/p>\n

Even though Rhodes is overcrowded in summer, we also discovered quiet corners during our stay on the popular Greek island. Our personal conclusion about the island can be found at the end of the article. Below, we show you the best Rhodes sights<\/strong> and travel tips for your holiday:<\/p>\n

#1 Day trip to Rhodes Town<\/h2>\n

The capital of Rhodes is one of the most beautiful destinations on the island for us. Especially the medieval old town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site<\/strong>, enchants with its narrow streets, pretty caf\u00e9s, and historic buildings. The imposing Grand Master’s Palace of Rhodes<\/a> is well worth a visit during your time in the island’s capital.<\/p>\n

#2 Kallithea: Thermal Baths of Rhodes<\/h2>\n

The former Rhodes Thermal Baths<\/strong>, about 9 km from the capital, are well worth a detour for their beautiful architecture and idyllic location directly on the sea. Following extensive restoration work, the site reopened in July 2007 and has been drawing visitors ever since.<\/p>\n

Especially in the morning, there is not so much hustle and bustle at the Kallithea Thermal Baths<\/strong>, and you can visit the individual buildings and relax on the beach undisturbed. On site there is a small stretch of beach with sun loungers to relax, and for a drink the restaurant Kallithea Springs Seaside<\/em> is well worth a visit.<\/p>\n
