Rhodes has some of the most beautiful villages from any of the Dodecanese islands in my opinion. I love to roam around, take pictures and stumble upon quaint restaurants with amazing locals. This is just my personal list, and of course I'm sure there are many more villages that are equally, if not more beautiful.

1. Lindos
2. Faliraki
3. Theologos
4. Rhodes Town
 
All the places listed are tourist hot spots.To see a real Greek village go to Afandou , Archangalos,or Lardos.There are 46 villages on Rhodes each with their own charm

Tips for Exploring the Ancient City of Kamiros

I might go to Rhodes and would really like to visit the Ancient City of Kamiros while I’m there. I love exploring archaeological sites, and from the photos and information I’ve seen, Kamiros looks fascinating. I’m especially interested in seeing the layout of the ancient city and learning more about what daily life would have been like there.

For those who have visited, do you have any tips for making the most of the experience? How much time would you recommend allowing to explore the site without feeling rushed? Is there enough information posted around the ruins, or would it be helpful to read about the history beforehand or bring a guidebook?

I’d also love to know about practical details, such as the best time of day to visit, how much walking is involved, and whether there are any other nearby places worth combining with Kamiros on the same day.

What Happened to the Colossus of Rhodes?

I’ve been reading about Colossus of Rhodes and realized I don’t actually know what happened to it. I know it was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and that it stood somewhere near the harbor in Rhodes, but beyond that, the details are a bit fuzzy for me.

Did it collapse because of an earthquake? And if so, what happened to the remains afterward? I’ve heard different versions—some say it stayed in pieces for a long time, others say it was eventually removed or sold off.

Also, is there any real evidence of exactly where it stood, or is that still debated? Curious to hear what people know or have learned, especially if you’ve visited Rhodes and seen any related sites or history in person.

What Should I Visit in Rhodes Old Town?

I'm thinking about visiting Rhodes in May of next year, and one of the places I'm most excited about exploring is Rhodes Old Town. I've seen photos of the medieval streets, historic buildings, and charming little shops, and it looks like such an interesting place to spend some time.

I know that the Palace of the Grand Master and the Street of the Knights are two of the main attractions, and I'd definitely like to see both. However, I'm also interested in discovering some of the lesser-known places that might be easy to overlook.

For those who have visited, what would you recommend seeing in Rhodes Old Town? Are there particular streets, historical sites, churches, shops, or restaurants that are worth seeking out?

I'm also curious how much time I should set aside. Is one full day enough to explore, or would you recommend spending more time there?
