Das Eigentum — Karpathios Studios
Karpathios Studios, a two-star property in the old town of Rodos, is a no-frills base for travellers who prioritise location over luxury. The whitewashed walls and blue-trimmed windows give it a classic Dodecanese feel, but inside it’s basic: tiled floors, simple wooden furniture, air conditioning that works hard in July. The lobby is a small reception desk off a narrow alley, and you’ll likely be handed keys with a smile and pointed towards the roof terrace for sunset views. It suits budget-conscious solo travellers or couples who plan to spend most of their time exploring the medieval streets and beaches.
Chroniken von Rodos
Rhodes city was founded in 408 BCE by the ancient Greeks and quickly became a major naval and commercial hub, famous for the Colossus of Rhodes – one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The island was later ruled by the Knights Hospitaller, who built the fortified Old Town between the 14th and 16th centuries, a UNESCO World Heritage site today. Ottoman and Italian occupations left their mark too, with minarets and Fascist-era administrative buildings scattered through the newer parts. Contemporary Rhodes is a busy tourist gateway, mixing sunbeds and tavernas with a palpable historical weight – the cobbles of the Street of the Knights still echo with processions of Crusaders.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Rodos-Guide →Die besten Monate
May, June and September offer warm 25-30°C days, manageable crowds and lower prices than July–August.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are the peak months, driven by school holidays and European heatwaves. Hotel prices can double or triple; many travellers book a year ahead. Events like the Medieval Rose Festival in June ripple into July, but it’s mainly sun-and-sea demand.
Budget Schulter Saison
April, October and early November are the budget shoulder months: 18-24°C, fewer tourists, and hotel rates 30-50% lower than summer.
Wetter & Verpackung
Rhodes gets a stiff northerly meltemi wind in July, which can stir up sand on beaches but also knocks the edge off 35°C heat. Pack a light jacket for windy evenings and a high-SPF sunscreen – the sun is intense by 10am.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Rodos
- The old town’s main gate, Marine Gate, is undergoing restoration through September 2026 – expect scaffolding and slight route diversions when entering from the commercial harbour.
- A new direct bus route (line 15) now connects the airport to the old town every 30 minutes from June 2026, costing €2.50 per ride, reducing reliance on taxis.
- Several beach bars on Elli Beach have installed new shaded sunbed zones this summer, but they fill by 9am in July – arrive early or head to the quieter Agia Marina cove instead.
