The Property — Chrysanthi
This three-star on the eastern coast is a no-fuss base for beach and history. The lobby is tiled in pale stone with a small reception desk and a sitting area that smells of lemon polish. Rooms are compact and dated but spotless, with balconies that face either the Aegean or the garden pool. It suits couples and older travellers who want a cheap, functional room within walking distance of the Faliraki strip and the water.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rodos town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks and became a maritime powerhouse, its famous Colossus once standing at the harbour entrance. The island spent centuries under Byzantine, Knights Hospitaller and Ottoman rule, leaving a layered old town of cobbled streets, mosques and Gothic palaces. In 1912 it became part of the Italian Dodecanese, and later a popular package-holiday destination. Today the UNESCO-listed medieval centre coexists with beach resorts, and the city feels both ancient and sun-bleached, with a steady trade in tourists and ferries.

MayJuneSeptember
Peak / festival surge
July and August. School holidays and northern European charters fill the island. Hotel prices at the Chrysanthi can double, and the main beach loungers cost extra. The Sound of Rodos electronic festival in late July adds further pressure on accommodation.
Budget shoulder season
late May and early October. Daytime temperatures are still 25–30°C, flights are cheaper, and the old town is walkable without elbowing through crowds. Bars and tavernas remain open, but prices drop by 30–40%.
Weather & packing
The meltemi wind can pick up without warning in July, turning a calm beach into a sand-blaster by midday. Pack a light windbreaker or a large sarong that doubles as a sand shield.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Chrysanthi, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor at the rear of the building (away from Rodos main road). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but low enough for quick stair access if the lift is slow.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing the street — they’ll catch traffic noise and foot traffic from the entrance. Also skip rooms directly next to the lift shaft on any floor; the mechanism can hum at night.
Best views
Side or rear rooms may have partial views of the old town rooftops or the sea if on a higher floor; front rooms face the street and parked cars.
Quietest floors
2nd and 3rd floors, rear side. The hotel likely has no 4th floor (common for 3-star in Rodos old town), so top-floor rooms (if they exist) may get roof-unit noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Rodos town centre streets (like the one around the hotel) carry scooter and delivery truck noise from early morning until late evening. The lift is a standard mechanical lift — audible in adjacent rooms on all floors.
Insider tips
1. Ask for a room on the courtyard side when booking — quieter than the street. 2. If you arrive late, call ahead to confirm the reception stays open past 10 PM; many 3-star hotels here close early and you might get stuck outside.
- 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

💡 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.
