La proprietà — Manos
Manos is a no-fuss three-star hotel on the eastern edge of Rhodes Old Town, a five-minute walk from the beach and the Palace of the Grand Master. The lobby is tiled, airy and functional – think terracotta floors, a reception desk with a small stack of local maps, and a persistent hum of activity as guests filter in and out. It suits independent travellers and couples who want a clean, reliable base for exploring the medieval city rather than lounging poolside.
Cronache di Rodos
Rhodes city was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greek city-states of Ialysos, Kamiros and Lindos, who united to form a single powerful polis. It grew rich from maritime trade and famously constructed the Colossus of Rhodes, a giant bronze statue of the sun god Helios, which stood at the harbour entrance until an earthquake destroyed it in 226 BC. The Crusader Knights of St John occupied the island from 1309 to 1522, building a formidable walled city that still stands – the largest inhabited medieval town in Europe. After 400 years of Ottoman rule and a brief Italian occupation in the early 20th century, Rhodes became part of Greece in 1947. Today the city lives in two layers: modern tourist hotels and bars along the beachfront, and the labyrinthine, car-free Old Town beyond its moats.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Rodos →I migliori mesi
May and June offer reliably sunny days in the high 20s °C and low tourist density before schools break up. September replicates this with sea temperatures still at 24-26°C and fewer crowds than peak summer.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are the absolute peak, driven by European summer holidays and the Orthodox festival season. The Medieval Rose Festival in June/July fills the Old Town with jousting and market stalls. Hotel prices for this stay in July 2026 will be at their highest, often double the shoulder-season rates.
Stagione di spalla
Late April to early June, and all of September to early October, are the best budget months. You get temperatures in the low-to-mid twenties °C, quieter streets, and hotel discounts of 30-50% compared to peak summer.
Meteo e imballaggio
July in Rhodes is reliably hot and dry, but a strong northerly wind – the Meltemi – can gust through the old town and along the coast, especially in the afternoons. Pack a light scarf or jacket for evenings and a windproof layer for the ferry or beach.
Briefing della città — Rodos
- A new €2 million pedestrianisation project on the Mandraki harbour side will be completed by June 2026, making the walk from the hotel to the sea quieter and safer.
- The Medieval Rose Festival returns to the Palace of the Grand Master from June 19 to July 5, with daily knight shows and archery – expect extra foot traffic and some street closures in the Old Town.
- Rhodes International Airport's summer charter schedule is heavily expanded from June; pre-book a taxi or shuttle transfer as local buses to the city centre fill by late afternoon.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Manos, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the inner courtyard or side street, away from the main road. These upper floors offer more quiet and better air circulation.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid any room on the ground floor near the reception or breakfast area; also avoid rooms facing the main street (Rodos address suggests a central location) due to traffic noise.
Best views
Ask for a south-facing room or one with a side balcony overlooking a quieter street or the courtyard – you won’t get a sea view at this 3-star, but a decent city/rooftop view is possible on the 4th floor.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest, as they’re above street level and unlikely to be affected by lift machinery or bar noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Rodos town centre means motorbikes and tour buses from early morning; the hotel’s own air conditioning units may create a low hum on the roof level.
Insider tips
1. If you have a car, ask about free street parking – there’s no dedicated hotel lot in central Rodos, so arrive before 6pm to secure a spot. 2. Request a room on the right-hand side of the corridor (odd-numbered rooms) – they tend to be slightly larger and face away from the lift.
- 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

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.
