La proprietà — Olive Tree Studio
Olive Tree Studio is a modest three-star in the old town of Rhodes, built into a restored medieval building with cool stone walls and a small courtyard. Rooms are simple but clean, with kitchenettes and views over narrow cobbled lanes. It suits independent travellers who want a central base for exploring, not resort-style facilities. The lobby is a quiet space with a reception desk and a few local guidebooks, nothing flashy.
Cronache di Rodos
Rhodes city was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks and quickly became a major maritime power, famous for the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The city was later fortified by the Knights Hospitaller in the 14th century, who built the massive walls that still enclose the old town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Over centuries it passed through Ottoman and Italian rule before becoming part of modern Greece in 1947. Today it blends medieval, Byzantine, and Venetian architecture with a lively contemporary cafe and bar scene, especially around Hippocrates Square.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Rodos →I migliori mesi
May, June, September: warm but not scorching, crowds are lighter, and most sites are open without the summer crush.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are the busiest and hottest, with temperatures regularly above 30°C. Hotel prices roughly double, and the city swells with European holidaymakers. The main driver is school holidays and the beach season.
Stagione di spalla
April, October: stays are 30-50% cheaper, weather is still pleasant for sightseeing (20-25°C in October), and many bars and tavernas remain open through October.
Meteo e imballaggio
July afternoons can hit 35°C with a sharp meltemi wind from the north. Pack light cotton clothes, a sun hat, and a windproof layer for evening ferry rides or windy alleyways.
Briefing della città — Rodos
- The old town's pedestrian zone is expanding: car access on Street of the Knights is now limited to residents and deliveries, making it quieter for walking.
- A new direct ferry from Athens (Piraeus) to Rhodes started in 2025, reducing journey time from 14 to 11 hours; check schedules as summer demand fills berths early.
- Several old-town tavernas now require reservations for dinner due to high summer demand, especially along Sokratous Street.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Olive Tree Studio, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a top-floor room (likely 4th or 5th floor, if the building goes that high) for more natural light and less footfall from above. Studios on the sea-facing side (if identifiable at check-in).
Rooms to avoid
Steer clear of ground-floor or low-level rooms facing the street (likely the main road into Rodos town) — night-time traffic and scooter noise can be disruptive. Also avoid rooms above or next to the lift shaft (often audible in 3-star blocks).
Best views
If the studio has a balcony, request one facing away from the main road — likely a side street or courtyard view, avoiding traffic din.
Quietest floors
3rd floor and above — less street noise carries up, and fewer guests pass your door.
🔊 Noise notes
Main road noise from scooters and cars, especially on the Rodos town outskirts (likely a busy thoroughfare). Internal noise from lift machinery and corridor chatter on lower floors.
Insider tips
1) Email the hotel 3 days before arrival to request a top-floor, rear-facing studio — they often honour written preferences. 2) If parking is offered on the street, ask if they have a reserved spot or a nearby lot; street parking fills fast in summer.
- 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

Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs in town for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport and tourist areas which charge poor rates and high fees.
Cards accepted in most hotels, restaurants, and larger shops; smaller tavernas, market stalls, and taxis often cash-only, so keep small notes handy.
Rounding up the bill (5-10%) is appreciated but not expected; leave small change for drinks; taxi drivers don't expect a tip, but rounding up to the nearest euro is fine.
Mangiare, fare shopping e viaggiare su un budget
Cheap car hire →A Greek coffee (freddo espresso or frappé) from a local kafeneio costs around 2-3 EUR.
A gyros pita (pork or chicken) from a takeaway spot costs 3-5 EUR and is filling.
Expect 10-15 EUR for a main dish like moussaka or grilled fish at a simple taverna in the old town or along the beachfront.
The old town's backstreets and the Mandraki waterfront have several souvlaki and gyros stands offering cheap eats.
Lidl and AB Vassilopoulos are common budget supermarkets in Rodos town.
The main shopping street (Sokratous in the old town) has souvenir and clothing stalls; the newer town has H&M and Zara for mid-range chain prices.
Local buses (Rodal) charge around 1.20 EUR per single trip; a day pass is 5 EUR. From the airport, the direct bus to town costs 2.50 EUR (much cheaper than a taxi, which is about 25-30 EUR).
Eat at tavernas away from the main tourist squares (like Hippocrates Square) for lower prices and better quality. Buy water and snacks at supermarkets instead of kiosks. Visit beaches outside the town (e.g., to the south) for cheaper sunbeds and less crowded spots.

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).
