Das Eigentum — Summer View
Summer View is a straightforward 3-star on the eastern edge of Rhodes Town, just a ten-minute walk from the medieval Old Town and the sandy Elli Beach. The lobby feels like a bright, airy corridor to a small pool terrace where guests cluster over frappés and hotel-branded sun loungers. Its USP is value and location: a clean, no-fuss base for sightseers who want to be near the walls without paying the premium for a room inside them. It suits independent travellers or couples who plan to spend most of their time out exploring, not lounging in the hotel.
Chroniken von Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks as a planned city on a grid system, and later became a powerhouse of Hellenistic maritime trade — best known for the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (destroyed by earthquake in 226 BC). The medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was built by the Knights of St John from 1309 onward, layering Gothic, Byzantine and Ottoman architecture behind massive stone ramparts. The city’s modern identity mixes a working port, a party strip (Bar Street) and a steady stream of cruise passengers and sun-seekers, making it a lively blend of history and tourism.

Vollständiger Rodos-Guide →Die besten Monate
May and June: temperatures hover around 25-30°C, the sea is warm enough for swimming, and crowds are manageable before the full summer peak. September offers similar conditions with shorter queues at the Palace of the Grand Master.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are the absolute peak, driven by school holidays and charter flights from northern Europe. Hotel prices roughly double from shoulder-season rates, and every taverna and deckchair along Elli Beach is packed. The biggest single event is the first week of August’s Panigiri festivals in nearby villages.
Budget Schulter Saison
Late April/early May and October are the best shoulder windows. April sees 20-22°C highs, wildflowers on the hills, and hotel rates about 40% lower than July. October still offers 25°C days and direct sun, with empty beaches and cheap flights, though some tourist shops start closing mid-month.
Wetter & Verpackung
Rhodes has a dry Mediterranean climate with reliably scorching summers — July averages 31°C and 0 mm rain. Pack high-SPF sun protection, a wide-brimmed hat and light long sleeves for the Old Town’s sun-trapped alleyways; don’t forget sturdy walking shoes for the cobbles, not flip-flops all day.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Rodos
- The Rhodes-bound ferry from Piraeus is now operating a reduced summer timetable due to port repairs in the Mandraki harbour — check departure times carefully or book flights via Rhodes Airport (RHO), which has direct connections to most UK airports.
- The Old Town’s main archaeological museum (Palace of the Grand Master) reopened its restored southern wing in March 2025, adding a new permanent exhibition on the Knights’ military orders.
- Rhodes town council has introduced a pedestrian-only zone along the stretch of Griva street from 7 PM to midnight from June to September, affecting taxi and bus access to the main nightlife strip — plan to walk or use the ring-road drop-off points.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Summer View, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floor 3 or 4, facing the rear of the building (away from the main road) – these are high enough to catch a breeze but well clear of street-level noise, and the lift stops on every floor so easy access.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing the street – they get traffic noise from Rodos town centre and footfall from the entrance. Also, avoid rooms directly next to the lift shaft on any floor – the mechanism is audible at night.
Best views
Ask for a rear-facing room – they overlook the inner courtyard or neighbouring buildings, not the busy Rodos road. No sea view here, but a quiet outlook with less traffic glare.
Quietest floors
Aim for floors 3 and 4 – they’re high enough to reduce street rumble but not so high that the lift noise travels up the shaft.
🔊 Noise notes
Road noise from the main Rodos street is constant during the day – mopeds, buses, delivery trucks. The lift clatters between floors until about 23:00. No bar or disco inside, so no evening music, but the street keeps buzzing until late.
Insider tips
1. Check-in after 15:00 – the nearby beach is a 10-min walk, so drop luggage and head straight there. 2. Request a room with the window open (if sea-facing rooms aren’t available) – the 3-star AC can be weak, and a rear-facing room with open window stays cooler without street noise.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

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.
