Das Eigentum — SunnySun Studios
SunnySun Studios is a straightforward, family-run studio complex about 200 metres from the beach at Ixia, a strip of hotels and tavernas west of Rhodes Town. It’s clean, basic, and well-maintained, with a small pool and sun terrace that sees plenty of use in July. The lobby feels like a quiet, practical reception area with helpful English-speaking staff. This place suits travellers who want a no-frills base for beach days and exploring the old town, rather than resort-style luxury.
Chroniken von Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC as a planned city with a grid street system by the ancient Greeks after they unified three smaller settlements. Its architecture is a vivid palimpsest of Classical, Byzantine, and particularly Crusader-era buildings, thanks to the Knights Hospitaller who fortified the city from 1309 to 1522. The medieval Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, with cobbled streets and surviving fortress walls. Ottoman minarets and a Jewish quarter add further layers. Today the city blends a steady flow of cruise-ship tourism with a local population that maintains a lively café culture in the New Town.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Rodos-Guide →Die besten Monate
May, June and September – temperatures are hot but not scorching (mid-20s to low 30s °C), the sea is warm, and the Meltemi wind keeps evenings pleasant. Crowds are thinner than in peak summer, so you can explore the acropolis of Lindos and the Old Town without jostling.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August – the peak season driven by European school holidays. Hotel prices in Ixia can double compared to May. The biggest event is the Medieval Rose Festival in late June/early July, but the main draw is the reliably sun-drenched 35°C days. Book far ahead.
Budget Schulter Saison
April, October and November offer big discounts (30–50% off peak rates). April still gets some rain, but October has calm, warm days and empty beaches. Wait until late May if you want reliable swimming weather.
Wetter & Verpackung
July in Rhodes is reliably blistering, with strong afternoon Meltemi winds that can whip sand across the beach. Pack light long-sleeved linen or cotton for evenings, plus a windbreaker for coastal walks and boat trips.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Rodos
- The city has completed a major pedestrianisation of Socratous Street in the Old Town, making it easier to walk without car traffic. Look out for new electric bus trials on the coastal route from Rhodes Town to Faliraki.
- Several new beach bars and sunbed operators have opened along Ixia beach for 2026, so expect more competition for front-row loungers.
- Construction on the new marina in the Mandraki harbour area is ongoing through summer 2026, but detours are well signposted and it doesn’t affect the Old Town entrance.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to SunnySun Studios, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a high floor, front-facing room for the best natural light and sea glimpses. Upper floors get more air off the sea and less street-level dust.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms directly above the reception or common areas on the ground floor; these can pick up lobby noise and early-morning check-out chatter.
Best views
Front-facing rooms overlook the street; back-facing rooms look onto other buildings or a quieter courtyard. Given the address is simply 'Rodos', aim for a side or front room on an upper floor to catch more of the cityscape.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and above are generally quiet, as they are above street-level commotion and lift pings are less intrusive.
🔊 Noise notes
Rodos town can have mopeds and delivery vans in the morning. Rooms at the back may be quieter but have no view. The building’s own lift can be audible if your room is adjacent to the shaft.
Insider tips
1. If arriving by hire car, ask at check-in where to park free on the street overnight — some nearby roads are free after 8pm. 2. Request a top-floor room for the best breeze; air conditioning can be weak in older units at this star level.
- 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

Geld & Währung
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs in Rodos town for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport and tourist hotspots as they offer poor rates and high fees.
Cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and shops in Rodos, but cash is still king at smaller tavernas, markets, and for taxis—contactless works almost everywhere.
Rounding up the bill by 5-10% is appreciated in restaurants (leave it on the table); no need to tip taxi drivers unless they help with bags, and hotel staff get small gratuities for good service.
Essen, Einkaufen und Reisen auf einem Budget
Cheap car hire →A freddo espresso at a local kafeneio costs around €3-4.
A gyros pita from a street vendor or takeaway is a filling lunch for €4-5.
Expect to pay €12-15 for a simple main like moussaka or grilled fish at a traditional taverna outside the tourist strip.
Head to the old town's back streets near Sokratous for cheap souvlaki and gyros stands, or the main square in town for budget wraps and crepes.
Supermarkets like AB Vassilopoulos, Lidl, and MyMarket are common and cheaper than mini-markets near the beach.
For affordable basics, check the high-street in central Rodos town (like Ermou street) or the market stalls at Mandraki harbour on weekends.
Local buses (e.g., from Rodos town to areas like Ixia or Faliraki) cost €1.50-2.50 per ride; the cheapest airport transfer is the public bus from the airport to Rodos town for about €2.50.
Eat at tavernas a few streets back from the waterfront or old town tourist traps—prices drop significantly. Buy water and snacks at supermarkets rather than kiosks. Use the bus or walk instead of taxis, especially for short trips.

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.
💡 Climb at sunset for clear views over the bay and modern city. No ticket needed.
💡 Bring bread for the peacocks – they'll follow you. It's a 20-minute walk from the centre or a cheap bus ride (€1.20).
