Rhodes was amazing! We used Google Maps to walk around and find a beach. Then we ate Gyros from a little cafe we found on the way to the beach - amazing food and wonderful sights in this city! Highly recommend exploring the Kights Castle too! Incredible history! ...
Don’t miss the Grand Knight Palace close to the port, but beware of expensive shops and have lunch at the 1967 resto Mama Sofia, try their good cuisine and homegrown honey tea. Beware of taxi drivers who can charge exorbitant price of 50 euros per head to take you to the Mediterranean Seaside and some carpet weaving places which you probably have seen at Turkey.

We loved Rhodes so much we would like to spend a week there.
We had visited on a cruise ship before where we walked around the old city and the grand masters' palace on our own. This time we wanted to see more of the island and maybe go to the beach so I booked a private tour with Rhodes Private Tours. Our driver met us right off the ship and took us on a very interesting tour around the ...
