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.

Two bus companies are in operation around Rhodes, travelling to the most prominent areas of the island. Most choose to cover the island’s beautiful landscape by car, witnessing the breathtaking scenery in a convenient manner.


Nisyros Guide

Nisyros Ferry Port

One of the many islands laying to the east of Greece, Nisyros is a volcanic island situated between the islands of Kos and Tilos. Blue Star Ferries and Dodekanisos Seaways provide several weekly crossings to neighbouring Greek Islands, ranging from forty-five minutes to over nine hours.

What is there to do in Nisyros?

When a breathtaking volcanic crater engulfs much of the centre of the island, everything else shifts to the side-lines on the itinerary of every tourist. Many visitors to the island of Nisyros only come on a day trip to witness the spectacular volcano, however, a few days can easily be whiled away whilst browsing the sleepy streets under the mellow sun. The main town of Mandraki is a stark contrast to its neighbouring island of Kos; the evenings are spent in cosy, charming restaurants or strolling along the beach. Surprisingly for a Greek island, there is an unusual absence of beaches around Nisyros, however, the striking hilltop villages and intriguing landscape more than make amends. Walking through the dusty streets and quaint buildings is especially pleasant in the summer; the sun shines off the brightly coloured houses and the cafes hum with summer energy.

How do visitors get around Nisyros?

Most of the island can be covered by foot or bicycle, there is an occasional bus service but it is probably best not to rely on it. Taxis are also available around the villages for quick and convenient transport.
