Das Eigentum — Pegasos
The Pegasos is a solid, sea-facing four-star on Rodos’ east coast, a short walk from the old town walls. Its lobby feels like a breezy, marble-floored lounge with harbour views through big windows, staffed by professionals who remember return guests. The USP is its location: tucked between the medieval fortress and the marina, it suits couples and older travellers who want quiet comfort without resort isolation.
Chroniken von Rodos
Rodos city was founded in 408 BCE as a planned grid settlement by the ancient Rhodians, who built the Colossus, one of the Seven Wonders. The medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was shaped by the Knights of St John from 1309 to 1522, who fortified it with moats and palatial inns. Ottoman and Italian rulers later added mosques, baths and neoclassical facades, giving the city a layered, multi-era feel. Today it’s a ferry and cruise hub, balancing its archaeological museum scene with a lively café and bar culture along the harbour.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Rodos-Guide →Die besten Monate
May, June and September: daytime temperatures in the mid-20s, sea warm enough for swimming (by June), and crowds thinner than July–August. The meltemi wind keeps humidity low.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are peak season—mean highs 30-32°C, frequent meltemi winds, and Old Town ramparts packed with day-trippers from cruise ships. Hotel prices at Pegasos roughly double from June rates. The Medieval Rose Festival (June) and Rodos International Film Festival (July) draw extra visitors.
Budget Schulter Saison
October is the best budget shoulder month: sea still warm (22-24°C), hotel rates drop 40-50% from August, and you can walk the Palace of the Grand Master without queues. May is similarly good for quieter sightseeing.
Wetter & Verpackung
Rodos gets more persistent wind in July than many Aegean islands—the meltemi can whip up sand on eastern beaches. Pack a light windbreaker or pashmina for evenings, and a swim parka if you plan boat trips; leave heavy jeans at home.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Rodos
- The Rodos Old Town pedestrianisation scheme expanded in April 2025—Sokratous and Orfeos streets are now car-free from 10am–9pm, improving walking safety but meaning taxis drop you at the gates.
- A new archaeological museum annex opened in the former Knights’ Hospital in 2024, displaying recently excavated Hellenistic mosaics that were previously stored.
- July 2026 meltemi forecast: the Greek Met Office predicts stronger-than-average northerly winds this July, so check small-boat ferry schedules for cancellations to Halki or Symi.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Pegasos, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the upper floors (3rd to 5th) facing the pool or side street, away from the main road. These offer more quiet and a better outlook over the complex.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor or those facing the main street at the front; they pick up traffic noise from Rodos town and foot traffic in the lobby area. Also skip rooms near the lift shaft on any floor.
Best views
Upper-floor rooms on the south or west side give partial sea or town views; the pool-side rooms offer a green outlook. No guaranteed sea view from standard rooms.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 5 tend to be quietest, especially if you specify a rear-facing or pool-side room.
🔊 Noise notes
Main road traffic in Rodos city, especially during peak seasons. Ground-floor rooms near the reception or restaurant hear clatter from breakfast setup and lobby chatter. The bar area can produce late-night noise.
Insider tips
1. If you have a car, ask about free or discounted on-site parking at check-in — spaces can be limited. 2. Request a room away from the lift and service areas when booking directly; note it in your reservation notes.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field

Geld & Währung
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs in town for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport and tourist spots in Rhodes Old Town, as they add high fees and poor rates.
Cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and larger shops, but many small tavernas and market stalls prefer cash, especially outside the main tourist strips.
Leave 5-10% in restaurants if service is good; rounding up taxi fares is standard; tip hotel staff €1-2 per bag or for housekeeping.
Essen, Einkaufen und Reisen auf einem Budget
Cheap car hire →A Greek freddo espresso from a local kafenio costs around €2-3, significantly cheaper than tourist-cafe versions in the Old Town.
A gyros pita from a street-side grill is €3-4 and makes a filling, budget lunch.
Expect a simple main like moussaka or souvlaki at a no-frills taverna for €8-12.
Head to the backstreets of Rhodes Old Town or the New Market (Nea Agora) for cheap gyros, souvlaki, and spanakopita stalls.
Supermarkets like AB Vassilopoulos, Sklavenitis, and Lidl are common in Rodos town for cheaper basics than minimarkets.
The New Market area and the main shopping street (Ethnarchou Makariou) offer affordable high-street brands and local-market clothes.
The local bus from the town to Faliraki or Lindos costs around €2-3 per ride; a day pass isn't common — pay per trip. From the airport, the cheapest way is the public bus (line 22) to Rodos town for about €2.50.
Eat where locals queue at lunchtime, not in the tourist squares. Buy water and sunscreen from supermarkets, not beach kiosks. Skip the expensive Old Town restaurants — walk 10 minutes to the Nea Agora for better-value souvlaki.

Top-Attraktionen in Rodos
💡 Come at dawn or dusk for photos without crowds. The lanterns look magical after sunset, and the architecture is best seen without souvenir stalls in the way.
💡 Go early morning before 09:00 for photos without crowds. The nearby Jewish Quarter has fewer tourists.
💡 Walk it at dusk when the street lamps glow and most tourists have left. Look for the carved coats of arms above each inn doorway.
💡 Sunset from the pier is excellent. Bring water shoes if you want to wade. The fish market nearby is lively at 08:00.
💡 Best light for photos is just before sunset. Grab a cheap souvlaki from a harbour-side kiosk and sit on the rocks near the windmills.
💡 Start at the Liberty Gate end; the path is mostly flat and takes about 40 minutes. Good for early morning.
