See the sights
Head to Rhodes Town to wander around the oldest inhabited medieval town in Europe. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is just 7km away. Inside its ancient walls you’ll find the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes and the Suleymaniye Mosque. How about Kalithea Springs? It's known for its thermal healing water.
Party by night
Fun-filled evenings can be found in nearby Faliraki, home to the aptly named Bar Street and Club Street. The mainly British crowd moves between the two locations into the early hours, and the choices in both streets are endless. Back in Kalithea, the scene is more Greek ─ great beach bars and cool clubs.
