Top 10 things to do on Rhodes, Greece

I really love Greece and my visit to Rhodes this year was great. We stayed a week in July and had marvellous weather, sun and 32c.
Here is my top list on what to do on Rhodes;

1. Visit the old town in Rhodes city. Its narrow streets in the medieval castle are really worth a visit. But dont visit during midday in July or August. It is too hot!



2. The harbour (port) in Rhodes city. Stroll around and look at the beautiful boats. Have a cake at the cafees along the harbour. They are famous for their delicious cakes.




3. Go on a glass boat trip. We went in the evening and hardly didnt see any fish, so go during the day

4. Swim in the sea. Take a trip to one of the beautiful beaches. Kallitheas bay, Afantou bay (not so crowded) and Tsambika beach.



5. Visit Lindos. The idyllic small village on the hill with a beathtaking view of the sea.

6. Shop! For teenagers this is the place to shop. Go to Rhodes city and shop for hours. Some of the shops are Zara, Esprit, HM, Tommy Hilfinger etc. There is also a lot of nice shop with mens clothes. (Scarabee for label shopping in several floors)

7. The dinner buffet at the Mtsis Grand Hotel is great. Especially their dessert buffet for those who love desserts.


8. Have a coffee after your dinner at Swedco cafe. Adress: 57 Orfanidou street. This is the Swedish bakery with a delicious cakes and a fab view of the sunset every evening. Bring your camera!



9. If you are in for a late night out. Just look outside Swedco café. This is the party street with night clubs, discos for teenagers etc. The night club Colorado is nice of you are not a teenager.

10. Start the day with a Turkish Hamam or Aqua Divina, the Fish Spa on G. Papanikalaou 15, with small fishes eating on your feet.
