5 tips before visiting the Ιsland of Rhodes
Mon, 13/05/2024The emerald island attracts millions of tourists every summer from all over Europe. However, to have the best possible experience you need to know a few tips that will make your holiday unforgettable.
The beautiful Medieval Town of Rhodes
➔ Rhodes is known for its many different aspects, but the first thing that comes to mind for any potential visitor is the great walls of the Medieval city, which give a sense of unique nobility, the like of which you won't find in any other European city.
Due to the large number of people inside the old town, we would suggest that if you want to enjoy it in peace and quiet and away from the clamour of the crowd, you should visit it in the early hours of the morning, when the city is still "asleep". This way, you will enjoy a unique experience and the majesty of the landscape will overwhelm you. Of course, the old town is also suitable for an evening stroll. If you choose to visit a restaurant, try to make a reservation first just to be sure that you will have the best table.
The narrow streets of Lindos
➔ The island is quite big. Away from the city center you can meet several small villages, which will surprise you. Lindos is one of them. With characteristics that remind you of a Cycladic Island, since the picturesqueness that the well-stacked houses and the narrow alleys give, make you feel that you are far away from Rhodes. It is therefore advisable to dedicate a full day to get the most out of this experience, as well as to secure your transportation to the village in advance, which will create even better conditions for your trip.
The deep blue waters of Kallithea Springs
➔ At a distance of about 10 kilometers from the city center we will find Kallithea Springs. A historical monument of unparalleled beauty, which combines elegance and magnificence, thanks to its special architecture and for the therapeutic elements offered by its deep blue waters. From the most ancient times, many visitors from the surrounding areas visited Kallithea Springs to cure themselves of various arthritic problems they were suffering from. Keep in mind that various cultural events and weddings take place in this particular place, so sometimes it might be too crowded. On the other hand, might you consider holding your dream wedding in this stunning landscape?
Enjoying nature in the Valley of Butterflies
➔ In a magnificent natural landscape, throughout the summer, swarms of many different species of butterflies overrun the Butterfly Valley. Beware! As it makes perfect sense, these butterflies are only found in warm weather seasons. Walking through the trees, passing through the stone alleys, gives you a sense of carefree feeling and brings back memories of our playful childhood. It would be advisable not only to stay in the aesthetic image, which will enchant you, but also to visit the Museum of Natural History. There, experienced guides will tell you the history of the valley and the unique butterflies which you will only find in this unique place.
Plan your transfer from the airport well in advance
➔ This magical island, located in the eastern part of Greece, is accessible and ideal for holidays all year round. Both the island's airport and its port play an important role in this part. The newly renovated airport "DIAGORAS" offers the comfort to every visitor to reach the island securely and enjoy their holidays without any safety concerns. Due to the remote location of the airport from the center, just outside the arrival gates, experienced professional taxi drivers with their luxury cars and Mini-Buses are ready to take you safely to any part of the island you want. For even better service, it is advisable to pre-book your transfer with your personal driver from Rhodes Taxi, who will be waiting for you at the time of your arrival.
