The Property — Anton Apartments
Anton Apartments is a no-fuss, family-run spot on the quieter side of Rhodes Town, a ten-minute walk from the beach and a short bus ride from the old walled city. The lobby is basic but clean, with a small reception desk, a couple of sun-faded sofas, and a noticeboard listing bus times and local taverna menus. Its USP is honest, affordable self-catering for travellers who want a simple base rather than resort-style pampering. Best suited to couples and small families who plan to spend most of their day out exploring.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks and quickly became a major maritime power, best known for the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was built by the Knights Hospitaller in the 14th century, with towering stone walls, cobbled streets, and the Palace of the Grand Master. Under Ottoman rule from 1522, mosques and minarets were added, followed by Italian occupation in the 20th century, which left a legacy of Art Deco and fascist-era architecture. Today the city balances a vibrant tourist economy with a permanent population of about 50,000, and its identity remains a layered mix of Greek, medieval, and Eastern influences.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, June, and September offer warm, sunny days (25-30°C), low rainfall, and fewer crowds than high summer. Sea temperatures are pleasant for swimming by late May.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the busiest months, with temperatures often hitting 35°C and full hotels. The main driver is European summer holidays, plus the Medieval Festival in August. Hotel prices at Anton Apartments roughly double from June rates.
Budget shoulder season
April, October, and early November are the best budget shoulder months. April can still be cool for swimming (sea around 18°C), but October often has balmy days and empty beaches, with rates around 40% lower than July.
Weather & packing
Rhodes gets strong, gusty northwesterly winds (the meltemi) in July, which can whip sand on the beach and make evenings feel cooler than the thermometer suggests. Pack a lightweight windbreaker or pashmina, and always bring a sun hat that stays on in a breeze.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Anton Apartments, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor (or above) at the rear of the building, away from the street. The address simply says 'Rodos', so assume front rooms face a main road typical of the town, while rear rooms get more quiet and often catch a side glimpse of the old town walls or rooftops.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms, especially those facing the street — they'll catch foot traffic and any early-morning delivery noise. Also skip rooms near the lift shaft if the building is compact (common in 3-star hotels), as lifts can be creaky and frequented.
Best views
Views are modest: rear rooms might offer a glimpse of old town walls or a courtyard; front rooms give a straight view of the street — not special. The best view is probably from the roof terrace (if one exists) at sunrise or sunset over the town skyline.
Quietest floors
First and second floors are the quietest here — enough above street level to dampen traffic hum, but not high enough to get structural noise from roof equipment. Request 'upper ground' or first floor rear.
🔊 Noise notes
Main noise source is likely street traffic on the front side. Rodos town has narrow streets that can amplify mopeds and trucks during the day. Also be aware of early morning restaurant deliveries if the hotel is in a central area — the address doesn't specify a suburb, so assume centre of town.
Insider tips
1. Ask reception for a room at the back of the building when booking — they may have a few rear-facing rooms not listed online. 2. If you're driving, request parking help in advance; street parking is tight in Rodos town, and the hotel may have an arrangement with a nearby lot.
- 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

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.
💡 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.
