The Property — Attiki Hotel
The Attiki Hotel is a straightforward, budget-conscious three-star in the heart of Rhodes Town, a short walk from the Old Town walls and the New Market. Its lobby is modest and functional — tiled floors, a small reception desk, and a few armchairs — but the real asset is the rooftop terrace with sea views. This place suits travellers who want a clean, no-frills base for sightseeing; you're not paying for character, you're paying for location.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks as a unified capital for the island's three city-states. Its famous Colossus, one of the Seven Wonders, stood at the harbour's entrance until an earthquake destroyed it in 226 BC. The medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built by the Knights of St John from 1309, with walls, palaces and cobbled streets that still define the city's core. Today, Rhodes blends Greek, Ottoman and Italian colonial architecture, and its economy leans heavily on tourism, with cruise ships, package holidays and history buffs filling the streets from May to October.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May and June for long sunny days, wildflowers, and manageable crowds before the peak influx. September is also excellent for warm sea temperatures and quieter beaches.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the hottest and busiest months, with daytime temperatures soaring above 30°C and the island packed with European package tourists. Hotel prices at the Attiki will be at their highest, often double the spring rates. The main drivers are school holidays and charter flights; no single festival, but the Rhodes Medieval Festival (late August) adds extra colour.
Budget shoulder season
April and October offer the best value: temperatures are mild (18-25°C), crowds thin out, and hotel rates drop significantly. Many restaurants and attractions remain open, though some island ferries cut back in October.
Weather & packing
Rhodes has a Mediterranean climate with very dry summers; rain is almost unheard of in July. Pack light cottons, swimwear, a hat, strong sunscreen, and a light jacket or pashmina for evening sea breezes and air conditioning — plus walking shoes for the Old Town's uneven stones.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- The new Rhodes Marinas complex in the Mandraki harbour area is now complete, with improved docking facilities and a seafront promenade — good for a stroll or coffee near the yachts.
- City bus services from Rhodes Town to major beaches (Faliraki, Lindos) will run on reduced summer schedules on 15 August (public holiday); check the local KTEL timetable if arriving then.
- The Grand Master's Palace in the Old Town has extended its visiting hours until 8pm for July and August, giving more flexibility to avoid midday heat.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Attiki Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 2 or 3 facing the inner courtyard (if available) — they're quieter and benefit from calmer morning light, away from the busy road.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor or directly above the entrance — street noise from the main road filters in, and foot traffic by reception can be distracting.
Best views
Side-facing rooms on floor 3 offer partial sea glimpses over rooftops. Front-facing rooms look onto the road and parked cars — less charming, but brighter.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are the quietest — elevated enough to reduce street-level hum, but low enough for easy stair access if the single lift is busy.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel's address on a main Rodos road means traffic noise peaks from 7–9 AM and 5–7 PM. The single lift is slow and can cause hallway chatter on upper floors. No bar or club on site, so no late-night music issues.
Insider tips
1) If arriving by car, ask about free on-street parking spots — the hotel doesn't have its own lot. 2) Request a top-floor courtyard room at booking; they're rarely advertised but often available midweek.
- 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

Leave a few euro for good service in restaurants (5-10% is fine); taxi drivers don't expect a tip but rounding up is polite; hotel cleaners appreciate a euro or two per day.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A Greek coffee (metrio) or freddo cappuccino from a kafeneio costs around €2-3.
A gyros pita from a souvlaki joint is €3-4 and fills you up.
A main course like moussaka or grilled fish at a modest taverna runs €10-15.
Souvlaki and gyros pita shops cluster along Orfanidou Street and the old town's main drags; look for queues of locals.
Budget supermarkets include Lidl, AB Vassilopoulos, and local chains like MM Mini Market.
Affordable high-street brands like H&M and Zara are in Rhodes Town's commercial centre; the Mandraki market has cheap beachwear and souvenirs.
The cheapest way around town is walking or the local bus (€1.20 single); from the airport, take the express bus to Rhodes Town for €2.50.
Eat at tavernas set back from touristy front rows for better value; buy lunch staples (bread, cheese, olives) from a supermarket; use bottled water from shops (€0.50) not hotels.
