Hey everyone!! I’m looking to relax and have a soothing time in Rhodes. Are there any spas or getaway spots that you recommend? Where have you been and what would you recommend?

My favorite place to visit in Rhodes is Kallithea Springs. The site is famous for it’s healing springs and it has been known for this since ancient times. The spas have had a turbulent history and they often fall into disrepair and close.
 
The Great Hammam calming even though it’s no longer an operating hammam. It’s a historical site located in Arionos Square in Rhodes, Greece. When the building was open to the public, it was used as a hammam-spa, which offered a traditional head-to-toe wash, massages, and exfoliation. Although the building is closed now and you cannot see the inside.

Butterfly valley is BEAUTIFUL!! It has so many butterflies, so people have come from all over the world just to see it. Not only that, but the park itself is filled with trails and other things to explore. It is absolutely worth a visit!

We only stopped there for a day on a cruise ship. Going to see the ruins at Lindos is a must.

Afandou beach is a great place to relax because it's 4km in length. Even in the summer, Afandou Beach is remarkably quiet.

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 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?
