The Property — Antomar Appartments
A no-frills, self-catering complex in the Ixia area, a 10-minute bus ride from Rhodes Town centre. The lobby is small and functional, with a plain reception desk, a couple of sofas, and a noticeboard advertising taxi numbers and bus times. It suits independent travellers who want a clean base with a kitchenette and a pool, rather than on-site restaurants or organised entertainment. The USP is the price point and the seafront location—rooms face the street or the modest pool, and the beach is a two-minute walk across the coastal road.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greek city-states of Ialysos, Kamiros and Lindos, and soon became a major Aegean naval and commercial power. Its medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was built largely by the Knights Hospitaller from 1309 to 1522, who ringed it with 4 km of walls and erected the Palace of the Grand Master. Ottoman rule from 1522 added minarets, baths and bazaars, while the Italian occupation (1912–1943) restored many medieval structures and built the broad, palm-lined Mandraki harbour. Today the city balances its layered history with a modern port, a university campus, and a year-round mix of locals and international visitors.

Peak / festival surge
July and August. School holidays across Europe and Scandinavia bring huge crowds to the city beaches, the Old Town, and the Lindos acropolis. Hotel prices in the Ixia area double to triple from shoulder rates, and many properties sell out weeks ahead. The main event is the Medieval Rose Festival in late June–July, with jousting shows within the Old Town walls, though it’s a small affair compared to the summer mass tourism.
Budget shoulder season
April and October. April sees rain and a chilly sea (17–18 °C), but flights and rooms cost 40–60% less than summer. October is drier, with sea still warm enough for a dip early in the month, and crowds thin out after the first week. Both months give you the Old Town nearly to yourself.
Weather & packing
Rhodes has a dry Mediterranean climate, but July afternoons can hit 35 °C with a strong meltemi wind—a dry northerly that whips sand on Ixia beach. Pack a lightweight windproof jacket or a long-sleeved cover-up for evenings and windy sea-front walks.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- Rhodes Town's new electric bus fleet started serving route 1 (city centre–Ixia) in March 2026, with increased frequency every 15 minutes during summer, reducing the need for taxis.
- The Medieval Rose Festival runs from 28 June to 6 July 2026, featuring daily knight tournaments at the Palace of the Grand Master; tickets are sold on-site but advance booking is advised for weekend shows.
- Several restaurants on the Ixia beachfront have introduced QR-code menus and contactless payment only this season, so bring a phone with mobile data or be prepared with card payments.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Antomar Appartments, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request an upper-floor apartment facing the rear courtyard or side streets away from the main road. These tend to be quieter and get more natural light.
Rooms to avoid

Best views
Upper-floor apartments at the front of the building will have a partial sea or town view overlooking Rodos. Side- or rear-facing rooms look onto neighbouring buildings or a courtyard.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and above are generally quieter, further from street-level noise and reception bustle.
🔊 Noise notes
As a no-frills 3-star property on a main road in Rodos town, you’ll hear traffic, especially scooters. The bar/breakfast area on the ground floor can also be noisy in the morning.
