Rhodes is one of the most popular Greek islands for UK travellers — a large, varied island with a medieval old town that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, excellent beaches along the east coast, and a range of resorts from the lively Faliraki to the quieter villages of the interior. Flights from Liverpool John Lennon Airport to Rhodes operate during the summer season.
About Rhodes
Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese islands, sitting in the south-eastern Aegean close to the Turkish coast. The island has been inhabited and fought over for thousands of years — by the ancient Greeks, the Romans, the Knights of St John, the Ottomans and the Italians — and this layered history is visible everywhere.
Rhodes Town is the island's capital and one of the most remarkable medieval cities in Europe. The Old Town, enclosed within massive walls built by the Knights of St John in the 14th and 15th centuries, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Street of the Knights, the Palace of the Grand Master and the Archaeological Museum are all within the walls. The New Town, outside the walls, has a lively waterfront, restaurants and the famous Mandraki Harbour.
The east coast of the island has the best beaches — Faliraki is the main resort, with a long sandy beach and a lively nightlife scene. Lindos, around 50 kilometres south of Rhodes Town, is one of the most beautiful villages in Greece, with a whitewashed village, a Crusader castle and an ancient acropolis overlooking a perfect bay.
