Hey everyone, I have three kids and they get a little bit fussy when we travel. My husband and I wanna go to Rhodes, but we're a bit concerned that there won't be much for them to do. Have any of you traveled with kids to Rhodes? What was it like? And where would you recommend that we take them?

There are also a lot of beaches on Rhodes that you can visit with your family that might be worth a visit! Lindos Beach is one of the most popular on the island and it is organized, meaning there are some services associated with it. It's tough going to the beach with your family unless there's a bathroom, places to get a bite to eat, etc.

I like taking the kids to the beach and to restaurants in smaller towns and villages. There's always a bunch of local kids running around and they're super safe. Here's a list of villages in Rhodes: https://www.greekboston.com/travel/villages-rhodes/
 
There’s an amazing waterpark in Faliriki that I really like to take my kids in Rhodes. I usually chill with my husband in the parents section, we get some drinks, and every now and then we go play with the kids in the water. But my kids are old enough to be in the water park alone. It's really great for a super hot day where you don't want to be out on excursions in the hot sun.

Traveling with a history buff to Rhodes

I am traveling with someone who lives history to Rhodes. Specifically, Medieval history (to the crusades).

I understand that Rhodes was a main player in this time period? Here are a few things on my list to visit. Did I miss anything?
  1. The Palace of the Grand Master: Standing majestically in the heart of Rhodes Old Town, this palace is one of the most striking reminders of the Knights' presence. It's said to be restored in the 20th century. I'm particularly interested in its history and the exhibitions hosted inside.
  2. Street of the Knights (Ippoton Street): Possibly one of the best-preserved medieval streets in the world. Walking down this street, lined with the inns once used by knights of different languages and origins, seems like a walk back in time. Any specific inns or details I should look out for?
  3. The Hospital of the Knights: Now housing the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes, it seems like a place rich in history. I'm curious about the exhibitions there and any pieces that are a must-see.
  4. The Fortifications: The walls and gates around Rhodes Old Town are a testament to the knights' engineering prowess. Is there a particular section or gate that offers a unique perspective or history?
  5. Rodini Park: A bit off the beaten path in terms of knightly history, but I've read that it's one of the world's oldest parks and was appreciated even during the era of the knights. Any historical remnants here connected to the knights?

Are there festivals in the summer in Rhodes?

I’m planning a trip to Rhodes, Greece, and I've heard that the island is not just about stunning beaches and breathtaking landscapes, but it’s also rich in culture and offers a variety of festivals throughout the year. I’m really excited about the possibility of aligning my visit with one of these cultural events!

Can anyone share recommendations for festivals in Rhodes? I’m interested in anything from traditional Greek celebrations to music, art, and food festivals. Anything that will allow me to soak in the local culture and make my trip even more memorable.

I usually just "see the sites" when I am in Greece. This is my second time on Rhodes, so now I am looking for something different to do.
