Pebblestone Villas

Rhodes is a popular Greek island full of scenic beaches and sites of considerable natural beauty. The town which shares the island’s name is not far from the airport and a natural starting point. The capital is known for its architecturally impressive Old Town where the big attraction is the Palace of the Grand Masters, part of a UNESCO World Heritage site.

You can uncover the history of Rhodes at the Archaeological Museum, or simply marvel at the views of the Aegean Sea. The Museum of Modern Greek Art and landmarks such as Evangelismós Cathedral are also well worth your time while you’re in town.

The island plays host to a Toy Museum and even a Bee Museum, where you can find out all about honey production. Other key sights include the Lindos Acropolis and the beautiful Epta Piges nature reserve with its seven springs. The Valley of the Butterflies is also noteworthy, situated west of the vibrant resort of Faliraki. To the south of the town is one of the island’s best-loved beaches, the idyllic Anthony Quinn Bay, a fine place to go snorkelling.
