The Property — D'Andrea Mare
D'Andrea Mare is a straightforward 3-star beachfront hotel on the eastern coast of Rhodes, about 6km south of the old town. The lobby is bright and functional, with whitewashed walls and a small reception desk facing a sun terrace that leads directly onto the sand. Its main selling point is the private beach area and the casual, family-run feel — expect basic rooms, a decent pool, and a bar that serves breakfast and light meals. It suits travellers who want simple sea access and aren't fussy about luxury, but do want a quiet, laid-back base within easy reach of the city.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes city was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks as a planned city and quickly became a major maritime power, home to the Colossus of Rhodes. The medieval Old Town was built by the Knights of St John from 1309, and its fortifications remain among the best-preserved in Europe. After Ottoman rule and Italian occupation (1912–1943), the island was unified with Greece in 1947. Today Rhodes is a UNESCO World Heritage site, balancing a tourism economy with a strong local identity centred on its harbour, souk-like streets and Byzantine churches.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, June, September — warm sun (24–30°C), low humidity, and far fewer crowds than July/August. Sea temperatures are pleasant by late May.
Peak / festival surge
July and August — the hottest months (32–35°C) and peak tourist season. Hotel prices can double, and flights are at a premium. Events like the Medieval Rose Festival (late May–June) add some pull, but the main driver is school holidays across Europe.
Budget shoulder season
Late April, early May, and late September–October offer 20–28°C weather and significant discounts (often 30–50% off peak rates). Crowds thin sharply after mid-September, and the Old Town feels more authentic.
Weather & packing
Rhodes has a strong meltemi wind in July and August, which can make afternoons feel cooler and sandblasty. Always pack a windproof jacket or long-sleeved cover-up, even for summer.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- Rhodes is expanding its bus network with new express services from the airport to the city centre and Faliraki, reducing travel times by about 15–20 minutes. Check the current timetable as routes may change seasonally.
- The medieval Old Town is now fully pedestrianised in the core sections (Plateia Ippokratous and Sokratous Street) during July and August to manage crowds — expect longer walks to taxis and hotel drop-off points near the gates.
- Several new beach bars and tavernas have opened along the eastern coast this year, including a revamped seafront restaurant at Kallithea Springs (3km north) that now offers evening dining with sea views.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to D'Andrea Mare, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the courtyard or side street. These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise and pedestrian traffic, and the rooms on those levels tend to be quieter with a better chance of a sea glimpse over the rooftops.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms and any room directly facing the main street (likely the front of the hotel). Ground floor suffers from foot traffic and possible restaurant or lobby noise at reception hours.
Best views
Rooms on the 4th floor with a front-facing orientation (towards the road) give a partial glimpse of the Aegean Sea and the old town skyline. Back-facing rooms look over the courtyard and neighbouring buildings.
Quietest floors
3rd and 4th floors are the quietest. The hotel has no lift, meaning less machinery hum and fewer guests passing by your door.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel sits on a mid-traffic road in Rodos town. Expect moped and car noise from early morning until late evening, especially on the lower floors. There may also be noise from a nearby restaurant or bar if the building shares a block with commercial premises.
Insider tips
1. Check in early (before 2pm) to choose your preferred floor – the reception staff are usually helpful about showing available rooms. 2. Request a room with a balcony on the 3rd or 4th floor for a quiet spot to dry swimwear and enjoy the evening breeze.
- 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
