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.

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 Part of Rhodes Feels Most “Local”?

I might be visiting friends in Rhodes this summer, and I’m trying to figure out which parts of the island feel the most local and authentic versus heavily touristy.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll definitely check out the major spots and beaches, but I usually enjoy the places where you can actually slow down a little, grab a coffee, sit at a taverna, and get more of a feel for everyday life on the island.

My friends have mentioned that Rhodes has very different vibes depending on where you are, especially once you get away from the main tourist areas.

So I’m curious what people here would recommend. Are there any places that really capture the atmosphere of the island beyond the typical tourist experience?

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.
