Rhodes Guide

What is there to do in Rhodes?

Rhodes’ appeal lies in its dexterity; whether you’re looking for a relaxing week lounging on the beach, dancing and drinking until the early hours or admiring the ancient history – Rhodes has it all. It’s location next to Greece and Turkey, fine weather and spectacular landscape has propelled it into the most prominent Greek island, and after visiting you’ll understand the fuss. Even if you’re not particularly into historical architecture, it is almost compulsory to wander around the towering walls of the Old Town and bask in the charming atmosphere. The walls are perhaps the highlight of a host of breathtaking ancient sites; The Knight’s Castles, painted churches and mesmerising buildings are also well worth a visit. As mesmerising and engaging as the ancient sites are, there is much more to Rhodes than its famous past; many young people swarm the island each summer to bask in the glorious sunshine before indulging in Rhodes’ notoriously decadent nightlife. Agios Pavlos Beach is the most renowned and popular beach, affording alluring walking trails that decorate the coastline, as well as the mandatory golden sands and endless tourists. Many of those tourists will head to the clubs that host world famous DJ’s, copious bottles of alcohol and a vibrant energy that flows throughout the island.

Lipsi Ferry Port

Lipsi is a tiny Greek Island geographically located between Patmos and Leros, resting on the Aegean Sea. There are several routes departing from Lipsi Port, nearly all of them are fairly short and head to other nearby Greek Islands. Only those who are in need of a truly relaxing, tranquil holiday make their way over to the quiet beaches and crystal waters of Lipsi. The only activity that is required on the island is to climb the hiking trails that lead to some of the beaches, or board the small buses that transport passengers to the more secluded areas. The beaches may be slightly inconvenient to reach, yet there lies their charm; they are all largely untouched by tourism and offer a unique landscape that is unlike any other. The main town offers the usual selection of quaint cafes and souvenir shops, with the occasional hidden gem for keen shoppers. The traditional Greek restaurants generally serve fish fresh from the waters – a popular choice for anyone who enjoys seafood. Most of the restaurants and hotels are located in the town, yet they are within walking distance of all the main beaches, including the beautiful Platis Gialos Beach. Lipsi’s beauty lies in its small size; the island is entirely accessible by foot so tourists will have no problem getting around. Most locals or resort workers will be happy to point visitors in the direction of the port should they need assistance.
