The Property — Anavadia
Anavadia is a no-fuss 3-star hotel in Rhodes Town, built around a central pool and bar. The lobby feels like a sun-bleached, quiet spot with tiled floors and a rack of tourist leaflets — decent for the price, not trying to be boutique. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean base within a 15-minute walk of the Old Town, rather than any beachfront glamour.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greek city-states of Ialysos, Kamiros and Lindos, unified into a single democratic republic. Its medieval Old Town — a UNESCO World Heritage site — was built by the Knights Hospitaller from 1309, who ringed it with 4 km of walls and a moat. The Ottomans added minarets and mosques after 1522, and the Italians under fascist rule remodelled the waterfront in the 1930s. Today, the city lives off tourism: ferries, cruise ships and sun-seekers fill the streets from May to October, while the Old Town’s souk-like alleys sell leather, honey and mass-produced statues of the Colossus.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May and June for hot sun without the peak crush, plus sea temperatures that reach comfortable swimming levels by mid-May. September is equally good: water stays warm, crowds thin out and the meltemi wind drops.
Peak / festival surge
August is the absolute peak: Rhodes Town swells with package tourists and charter flights, hotel prices double or more, and the Old Town feels like a moving queue. The main driver is school holidays across Europe and the islands’ reputation for guaranteed sun.
Budget shoulder season
Late April to early May and October offer 20-25°C days, hotel discounts of 30-50% compared to August, and the island is calm enough to enjoy the acropolis without queuing. October can bring short rain squalls.
Weather & packing
Rhodes can get a stiff, dry northerly wind (the meltemi) in July, making evenings feel cooler than the 30°C day suggests. Pack a light windproof jacket or fleece for dinner on a terrace.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- The Old Town’s main gate (Eleftherias Gate) footbridge is closed for renovation until late 2026; use the Marine Gate or St. Paul’s Gate to reach Mandraki harbour.
- A new direct bus line from the airport to Rhodes Town centre started in early 2026, cutting the journey to 25 minutes (€2.50 single).
- The Rhodes Sound & Light show in the Palace of the Grand Master has been extended to two nightly performances (in English and German) — book ahead in July.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Anavadia, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the upper floors (3rd or 4th) at the rear of the building facing away from the street. These are quieter and less likely to pick up traffic noise from the main road, which in Rodos town can be busy, especially during summer evenings.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms or those facing the street directly. Street-facing rooms will get moped, bus, and pedestrian noise into the night. Rooms near the lift shaft can also hum when the lift is in use, so ask for something away from that area.
Best views
Given the address is simply Rodos (town), and no sea front is specified, the best view will be from a higher rear room overlooking the rooftops or the old town side. Don’t expect coastline views unless the hotel is positioned near the old harbour, which isn’t clear from the data.
Quietest floors
The top two floors (likely 3rd and 4th) are quietest, as they’re furthest from both street-level noise and the small lobby/bar area that sometimes has chatter until late.
🔊 Noise notes
Rodos town centre is lively with bars, restaurants, and scooters until late, especially in summer. Rooms on the front side will get direct street noise—honking, revving, and late-night revellers returning from bars. The lift mechanism in a 3-star budget hotel may be audible on all floors, so avoid rooms adjacent to it.
Insider tips
1. If you have a car, ask reception about free or cheap parking spots nearby—street parking can be tight in Rodos old town and this budget hotel likely doesn’t have its own lot. 2. Request a room at check-in with a view of the old town (not street-facing) and ask for a top-floor room away from the lift—these are the quietest and get the best breeze.
- 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

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs in town for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport and tourist areas as they charge high fees and poor rates.
Cards are widely accepted in restaurants, shops, and hotels, but cash is needed for small tavernas, market stalls, and local buses.
Round up the bill (5-10%) in restaurants if service is good; small change for taxis (e.g., €1-2); not expected for hotel staff but a couple of euros for housekeeping is appreciated.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A Greek coffee (frappé or freddo) at a local kafeneio or café, around €2.50-3.50.
A gyros pita from a street-side stand in Old Town or along the main drag, about €4-5.
A main course at a traditional taverna (like moussaka or souvlaki) for around €10-12.
Gyros and souvlaki shops in Old Town and along Orfanidou Street are the go-to cheap eats.
Supermarket chains like Masoutis and AB Vassilopoulos are common in Rhodos town.
High-street brands along Griva and Platonos streets in the new town; avoid tourist-trap souvenir shops for clothing.
Local bus network (€1.20 per ride within town) is cheapest; from the airport, take the public bus (€2.50) into town rather than taxis (€25+).
Eat at tavernas a few streets back from the harbour for lower prices; buy water and snacks at supermarkets instead of beachfront kiosks; use the bus to explore further beaches instead of renting a car.

Top Attractions 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.

💡 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.
