La proprietà — Bakiris
The Bakiris is a no-frills three-star just off the main shopping street in Rhodes Old Town. The lobby feels like a quiet, tiled courtyard with potted plants and a small reception desk—functional rather than flashy. It suits budget-conscious travellers who plan to spend most of their time exploring the medieval streets and beaches, not lounging in the hotel. The USP is location: you can walk to the Palace of the Grand Master in five minutes.
Cronache di Rodos
Rhodes city was founded in 408 BC as a planned port town on the island’s north tip. Its Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, ringed by 4km of walls built by the Knights Hospitaller in the 14th century. The Ottomans added minarets and Turkish baths after 1522, while the Italian occupation in the early 1900s restored many medieval buildings. Today, it’s a busy tourist hub that mixes crusader fortifications with Byzantine churches and modern bars.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Rodos →I migliori mesi
May and September—warm enough for swimming (mid-20s °C) but without August’s cruise-ship crowds. June also works if you don’t mind growing heat.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August: temperatures hit low 30s °C, and the Old Town chokes with day-trippers from cruise liners. Hotel prices double; book months ahead. The Medieval Festival in August adds a cultural draw but no major city-wide event.
Stagione di spalla
Late April and October: rooms often 30–40% cheaper, still pleasant (20–25°C), and you can actually enjoy Mandraki Harbour without elbowing through selfie sticks.
Meteo e imballaggio
July in Rhodes is dry and sunny with a strong meltemi wind that can kick up dust in the late afternoon. Pack light linen layers for day, a thin jacket for the breezy evenings, and always carry a reusable water bottle—public fountains along the main drag are safe to refill.
Briefing della città — Rodos
- The main pedestrian street, Sokratous, has new paving and better lighting completed in early 2026—less trip hazard but still intense midday sun.
- The city’s hop-on-hop-off bus now runs a longer route including Faliraki beach, useful if you want a quick swim without renting a scooter.
- A new recycling station opened near the old market—look for the big yellow bins to avoid plastic fines, which the municipality enforces from summer 2026.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Bakiris, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 2 or 3 at the rear of the building (away from the street). These floors are high enough to reduce pavement-level noise but low enough for stable water pressure. The rear aspect faces the quieter inner courtyard or back street, assuming a typical Rodos town layout.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing the street — Rodos has narrow pavements and late-night foot traffic from bars and restaurants. Also avoid rooms directly above or adjacent to the main entrance or any ground-floor common area (bar/reception), as these pick up lobby noise and door slams.
Best views
Sea views are unlikely at a 3-star in town — request a side room overlooking the old town rooftops or a quiet courtyard. East-facing rooms get morning sun; west-facing get afternoon heat. Balconies on floors 2–3 give a decent sightline over the street without the dust and noise of a lower balcony.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 (if the hotel has 3+ floors). The middle of the building generally buffers street noise best. If the hotel is 4 floors+, floors 2–3 remain the quietest.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise is the main issue: Rodos town roads carry moped traffic, delivery trucks, and late-night revellers. The lift motor and service entrance (if marked) generate daytime clatter. Ask for a room away from the breakfast area if you like a lie-in.
Insider tips
1. Request a room on the 2nd floor during booking — it's the sweet spot for quiet. 2. If you arrive by car, park on the ring road (free after 6pm) rather than the hotel's limited on-site spots — saves the stress of negotiating narrow streets.
- 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

Moneta e moneta
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
ATMs at banks give the best rates; avoid airport exchange bureaux and tourist-area kiosks that charge high fees or poor rates.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and larger shops; contactless and Apple/Google Pay work at most terminals, but smaller tavernas and market stalls prefer cash.
In restaurants, round up the bill or leave 5–10% for good service; taxis round up to the nearest euro; hotel staff appreciate a few euros for bag help or housekeeping.
Mangiare, fare shopping e viaggiare su un budget
Cheap car hire →A freddo espresso or Greek frappé at a local kafeneio, around €2.50–3.
A souvlaki pita (gyros or skewer in flatbread) from a bakery or fast-food joint, about €4–5.
A main dish at a modest taverna, such as moussaka or grilled fish, around €10–12.
The Old Town's backstreets and the Mandraki area have small shops selling cheap souvlaki, cheese pies, and stuffed pita breads.
Lidl and local supermarket chains like AB Vasilopoulos or Sklavenitis are common for budget groceries.
High street chains like Zara, H&M, and local shops in the new town shopping streets, plus market stalls in the Old Town for touristy bargains.
Bus is the cheapest: local city buses cost €1.20–1.80 per ride; from the airport take the public bus (line 06) to Rhodes Town for about €2.30.
Eat away from the main tourist drag in the Old Town; buy water and snacks at supermarkets rather than kiosks; get a day bus pass (€5) if making multiple trips.

Principali attrazioni a 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).
