The Property — Evi Studios & Apartments
Evi Studios & Apartments is a no-fuss, family-run base in central Rhodes Town. The lobby feels like a sun-washed meeting spot: tiled floors, a small reception desk with a kettle always on, and the faint scent of salt from the nearby sea. It suits independent travellers who want a clean, affordable room within walking distance of the Old Town and the beach, not fussy boutique extras.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks and quickly became a maritime powerhouse. Its medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was built by the Knights Hospitaller in the 14th century, a maze of cobbled streets, Gothic arches and stone fortifications. Under Ottoman rule after 1522, mosques and minarets were added, giving the city a layered, east-meets-west character. Today it's a lively mix of tourist cafes, local workshops and year-round residents, balancing its crusader past with a modern Greek island identity.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, June and September offer warm, sunny days (24-30°C) without the peak-July crowds; the sea is already swimmable in May.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak season: Rhodes Town is packed with European package tourists, hotel prices double from shoulder rates, and the main events are the Medieval Rose Festival (August) and frequent street markets.
Budget shoulder season
April and October are the best budget months: temperatures around 20°C, rooms at half summer prices, and Old Town lanes are quiet.
Weather & packing
July in Rhodes is reliably hot and dry, but the north wind (the meltemi) can whip up surprisingly strong gusts by the coast. Pack a windproof jacket or a light wrap for evening harbour walks, plus high-SPF sunscreen and a sunhat.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- The Old Town's main gate, the Porte d' Amboise, remains under scaffolding for restoration work until late 2026; enter via the Marine Gate instead to avoid construction dust.
- New bike lanes have been added along the Mandraki Harbour front, making it safer to cycle from Evi Studios down to the Palace of the Grand Master.
- The island's water supply is under seasonal pressure; expect a note from your host asking you to use water sparingly during July heatwaves.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Evi Studios & Apartments, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a top-floor room (if available) for better light and less footfall. The layout suggests upper levels are quieter; prefer an apartment with a balcony facing the courtyard or side street.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the ground floor facing the street get the most street noise and least privacy. Avoid rooms directly above the entrance or near the lift shaft (likely at the front).
Best views
Street-facing rooms have a view of the road and surrounding buildings; courtyard-facing rooms are stiller but see walls. For a decent outlook, request a higher, oblique street view.
Quietest floors
Ask for a floor above the second — third floor and up are generally quieter in a 3-star walk-up building.
🔊 Noise notes
Rodos is a lively port town – expect daytime traffic noise and nightlife hum until late. Ground-floor rooms can pick up music from nearby bars and cafés. No lift means carry-on noise on stairwells.
Insider tips
1. Parking is scarce in central Rodos – ask the hotel about paid street parking or a nearby lot before you arrive. 2. Check-in may be at a separate reception desk; confirm the exact entry code or office hours to avoid waiting 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

Visa and Mastercard accepted in most hotels, restaurants and shops; contactless widespread; some smaller tavernas and market stalls still cash-only.
Optional – round up the bill in restaurants (5–10% for good service), leave small change for taxi drivers; not expected in bars or for hotel porters.

A gyros pita from a souvlaki grill or street stand – €3.50–€5.

The Old Town's narrow lanes near Sokratous Street have cheap souvlaki, koulouri and cheese pies at small stands.
Supermarkets like AB Vasilopoulos, Lidl and Sklavenitis are common; Lidl tends to be cheapest for basics.
The main shopping street (Papagou) and Ermou Street offer affordable high-street chains like H&M, Zara and local boutiques; Omirou Street market (Wednesdays) has cheap clothing and homewares.
Walk – the historic centre is compact; otherwise use the public bus network (€1.20 per ride) – a day pass not available. From the airport: public bus line 'Rodos-Rhodes Airport' runs every 30 min for €2.50.
Eat where the locals eat – look for busy tavernas away from the harbour. Buy water and snacks at supermarkets, not minimarkets near tourist spots. Visit archaeological sites on free-entry days (first Sunday of November–March).
