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.
Syros is like the endearing younger brother in the Cyclades; rural villages encompass the capital, relaxing restaurants offer fresh food and colourful houses grace the landscape - yet despite its charm and charisma - the island never roars into touristic prominence like its siblings. Though Syros is hardly a deserted island; a steady stream of visitors create a friendly atmosphere that never overflows into uncomfortable busyness - the beaches are popular but not overcrowded and you can always find a seat at a café or restaurant. It is the perfect cocktail of vibrant tranquillity. Much like every Greek island, Syros has gradually adapted its market and outlets to appeal to tourists, however, it has admirably maintained its authentic traditions. Ermoupolis City Hall and Saint Nicholas Church are examples of original architecture, showcasing the impressive structural designs that are quintessential of their location. Several churches and cathedrals add to the rustic experience, and art galleries and museums provide a cultural edge.
Much of the island is possible to cover by foot or bicycle, and there are companies offering scooter rental for fairly cheap prices.
