Despite being an amazing beach holiday destination for its fine powder white sands and the impossibly clear waters of the Aegean Sea, the beautiful Greek island of Rhodes is also a historically significant locale. Over the centuries, Rhodes has been home to successive waves of Mycenaeans, Dorians, Persians, Romans, and medieval knights, and so there is an astounding assortment of ancient ruins to explore. Use your holiday villa as a base to explore the ruins of Kameiros, an ancient Doric city where you can see the remains of ancient city walls and temple foundations that have been excavated and partially restored. Climb a rocky outcropping to the Venetian Monolithos Castle, and revel in the panoramic views over the sea, or take in the arresting pillars of the Temple of Apollo at the Acropolis of Rhodes. The variety of archaeological sites around every corner on Rhodes is endless. And with some of Europe’s best beaches, verdant pine forests, charming villages, and gracious locals, there are countless reasons to book your next holiday accommodation on historic and scenic Rhodes.
