just back from a one night stay .because its winter the bar and restaurants were closed.In the room no facilities to make tea or coffee.The bathroom had a spa bath that did not work . The bed had no electric blanket so it was cold .All and all not a good experience
 
I stayed there recently and it ticked a lot of boxes for an easy family trip. The location made it simple to nip between the beach and shops, and the kids burned tons of energy at the pool and sports court. If you're still weighing options, the surfers paradise accommodation I booked had roomy spaces and some handy meal deals that saved us a bit.

What do you love most about Rhodes?

I’ve been reading about Rhodes lately, and the more I learn, the more it seems like a place that offers a little bit of everything. The island has such an interesting mix of history, beaches, beautiful villages, and great food. The Old Town alone looks incredible, with its medieval streets, stone buildings, and all that history around every corner.

At the same time, people talk a lot about the beaches, the clear water, and places like Lindos with its white houses and views of the acropolis. It seems like Rhodes manages to balance culture, scenery, and relaxation really well.

For those of you who have visited, what stands out the most when you think back on your trip? Was it a specific place, like a beach or village, or more the overall atmosphere of the island?

I’d love to hear what made Rhodes special for you and what left the biggest impression.

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.

Is Lindos better as a day trip or overnight stay?

Planning a trip to Rhodes and trying to decide how to experience Lindos. I’ve seen people recommend both a quick day trip and staying overnight, and I’m curious what others think.

On one hand, Lindos seems compact enough to see in a few hours, like to see the Acropolis, village streets, a swim, lunch, then move on. On the other, photos of the village in the early morning or after day-trippers leave make it look like a completely different place.

For those who’ve been, did staying overnight add something meaningful to your experience? Was it quieter, more atmospheric, or easier to enjoy the town without crowds? Or did you feel a day trip was more than enough?

I’d love to hear what you’d recommend, especially if you’ve done both. Season, budget, and travel style probably change the answer for everyone.
