Rodos Rhodes, Greece beach guide & holiday information
This is an 'oh, wow!' place that has attracted visitors through the ages. Known by locals as the Rose of the Aegean, a very apt description, as the thousands of visitors who pour into Rhodes soon echo as it is steeped in history, has a wonderful climate, as has all of Greece, and it is also home to a great carnival which is held in the three weeks leading up to Ash Monday. This is a time of outrageous fun with people dressing up in fantastic costumes, feasting and generally revelling in a bacchanalian orgy of pleasure before the restraints of the Christian season of Lent.
Rhodes is home to some of the most important relics of antiquity dating back at least three thousand years, including the site of the Acropolis. In fact, for students of history and archaeologists, this destination offers a smorgasbord of ruins to explore. For those travellers who really just want to have fun there are a number of exciting things to do, such as all forms of water sports, wind-kiting- wind-surfing, sailing or scuba diving. For a beach holiday, the choice of sands is endless, and range from golden to pebble stone. They include one of the most famous beaches of all, the Anthony Quinn Beach, where the makers filmed the classic 'The Guns of Navarone'.
Rhodes is an idyllic holiday setting and is great for all travellers. Catering for everyone from singles, groups on package tours, to families with children, everyone can find accommodation that suits their particular budget, of-course subject to prior booking. The nightlife is fabulous and unforgettable, and again everyone can find what floats his or her boat. Population for the city of Rodos Rhodes is around 56,128
