The Property — Casa di Flora
Casa di Flora is a relaxed three-star near the beach in Ixia, with a small pool and a bar that stays open late. The lobby feels like a quiet lobby at a decent chain hotel—clean tiles, a reception desk, a rack of leaflets for boat trips. It suits couples and older visitors who want a simple base with a pool and don't need frills or a central location. The USP is the short walk to the sand and the quieter end of the strip.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rodos town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks and quickly became a major maritime power. The Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, once stood at its harbour entrance. The medieval Old Town, built by the Knights Hospitaller from 1309, is a UNESCO World Heritage site with cobbled alleys and fortress walls. Today the city blends Byzantine churches, Ottoman mosques, and Italian colonial architecture from its 1912–1943 period. Its contemporary identity is dominated by tourism—beach resorts to the north and east, and a lively bar and restaurant scene in the New Town.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, June, September: warm (mid-20s to low-30s °C), plenty of sun, and the crowds are thinner than July–August.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak. Schools are out, and temperatures often hit 35°C. Hotel prices roughly double from shoulder rates. The biggest event is the Medieval Rose Festival in late June/early July, with jousting and feasts in the Old Town.
Budget shoulder season
April, October, and early November. Discounts of 30–50% off peak rates, milder weather (18–25°C), and far fewer people on the beaches and streets.
Weather & packing
July in Rhodes is hot and dry, but the Meltemi wind can kick up in the afternoon, especially on the west coast. Pack lightweight cotton clothes, a wide-brimmed hat, sunscreen, and a light windproof jacket for breezy evenings.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- The Rhodes City bus station is undergoing renovation through 2026; services to Lindos and Faliraki now depart from a temporary stop near the marina (follow the signs).
- A new pedestrianised zone opened in the Old Town along Sokratous Street in spring 2026, making the main shopping street easier to walk but limiting taxi drop-offs at the west gate.
- Wildfires remain a risk in summer; check local fire-risk alerts daily and avoid hiking in pine forests during red-alert days.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Casa di Flora, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third floor (or top floor if different) with a balcony facing the rear courtyard. These rooms avoid the street noise from the main road and benefit from the lift stopping on lower floors.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the reception and lift lobby – these pick up foot traffic and early-morning noise from the breakfast area if adjacent. Also skip rooms facing the main street (likely the front side) due to traffic rumble.
Best views
Rooms on the upper floors facing south or west (away from the street) offer partial sea views or a view over the town rooftops – ask specifically for a 'side sea view' or rear orientation.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 (top floor if built as such) tend to be quietest, away from street level and bar/common area sound.
🔊 Noise notes
This hotel is on Rodos town’s central road, so front-facing rooms hear mopeds, tour buses and late-night bar chatter until 2am in summer. The lift door clatters on lower floors, and the reception phone rings audibly into adjacent rooms.
Insider tips
Parking is scarce on the street – ask the hotel about their discounted private lot 50m away. At check-in, politely request a room on the third floor away from the lift if you value sleep. There is no pool, so use the rooftop terrace for sunbathing – it’s quieter and has a small bar.
- 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.

💡 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.
