The Property — Coco Apartments
Coco Apartments is a no-fuss, family-run three-star in the northern suburbs of Rhodes Town. The lobby feels like a modest Greek holiday home: terracotta tiles, a small reception desk with a bowl of local sweets, and a noticeboard with bus timetables. It suits independent travellers who want clean, self-catering bases within walking distance of Elli Beach and the old town walls, not resort frills.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC as a planned city with a grid street system, and its medieval Old Town is a UNESCO site built by the Knights of St John in the 14th century. The Ottomans added minarets and baths after 1522, then the Italians rebuilt the waterfront with fascist-era architecture in the 1930s. Today the city mixes ancient acropolis, cobbled souk, and a modern tourist port – a layered, walkable historic core where Crusader castles face Turkish coffee houses.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, June and September give you 26–30°C highs, low humidity, and far fewer cruise-ship crowds than July–August. Sea swimming is comfortable by late May, and hotel rates are 20–30% lower than peak.
Peak / festival surge
Peak is July and August, especially around 15 August (Ferragosto/Assumption Day) when Greek and Italian tourists arrive in force. Hotel prices at Coco Apartments can double for these weeks, and the old town chokes with day-trippers. The Sound of Rhodes music festival in July also adds demand.
Budget shoulder season
Best shoulder months are mid-September to October and late April. In September, sea temps are still 25°C, skies clear, and accommodation at Coco Apartments drops to near-off-season rates. October is quieter but some tavernas close by month-end.
Weather & packing
July Rhodos is reliably hot and sunny, but the Meltemi wind can gust suddenly up the east coast, especially in the afternoons. Pack a light windbreaker or pashmina for evening harbour dinners, even if you're wearing shorts.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- The Rhodes old town has introduced pedestrian-only hours for the main cobbled streets (Plateia Ippokratous to Sokratous) from 19:00 to midnight in July to ease congestion. Taxis and drop-offs now use the Mandraki port side instead.
- A new direct bus line from Rhodes Town to Lindos (seasonal express No. 70) started July 2025, cutting journey time to 55 minutes. It’s worth checking for 2026 as the route may stay.
- Several older water-sports operators on Elli Beach were closed in 2025 due to new safety licensing; the main permitted operator is now Rhodes Windsurfing Centre at the northern end. Book in advance for July.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Coco Apartments, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing the rear courtyard. These are quieter with less street noise from Rodos town traffic and offer a more private balcony.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the lobby or street side; they get noise from passing traffic and early morning comings and goings. Also skip rooms directly next to the lift on any floor — lift mechanism hums at night.
Best views
Rear-facing rooms likely look over the courtyard or neighbouring blocks' rooftops — not spectacular but calm. Front-facing rooms see the street (Rodos town's active but narrow roads) so ask for rear-facing if views matter.
Quietest floors
2nd and 3rd floors — above street-level clatter but below the roof (which might host a small terrace or A/C units).
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Rodos town traffic, especially in mornings and early evening. Lift motor on each floor. Possible bar or restaurant nearby if the hotel is on a pedestrianised strip — check local opening hours.
Insider tips
Arrive before 3pm to request a specific room, as reception is often busy. The hotel has no parking — use the public lot 200m east on Perikleous Street for €8/day. If in summer, ask for a room with a working A/C unit — some older units get noisy.
- 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

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs in Rodos town for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaus at the airport or tourist spots—they charge poor rates and high fees.
Cards are widely accepted in most restaurants, shops, and hotels, but smaller cafes and market stalls may prefer cash; contactless is common.
Not mandatory but appreciated: round up the bill in restaurants (5-10% for good service), leave small change for taxis (€1-2), and tip hotel staff €1-2 per bag or per day for housekeeping.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A Greek frappe or freddo espresso at a local kafeneio costs about €2-3.
A gyros pita from a street stand or fast-food shop is around €3-4; a decent sit-down lunch with a drink is €10-12.
A main course at a traditional taverna in a side street away from the harbour averages €10-15.
The old town's main drags and the streets around Mandraki harbour have gyros and souvlaki stands; for cheaper eats, walk a block off the tourist strips.
Supermarket chains include AB Vassilopoulos, Masoutis, and Lidl; they're common in the new town areas.
The main shopping streets in the new town (e.g., Griva, Papanikolaou) have high-street brands like H&M, Zara, and local shops; the old town has tourist souvenirs and some leather goods.
Local buses (the blue KTEL buses) cost about €1.20-2.50 per ride within Rodos town; from the airport, take the express bus to the town centre (€2.50) instead of a taxi (€25+) or pre-book a taxi for €20.
1. Eat at tavernas away from the harbour and old town main squares—they're cheaper and often better. 2. Buy water and snacks from supermarkets rather than mini-markets. 3. Consider a bus day pass (about €5) if you plan multiple trips.

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.
