The Property — Finas Apartmets
Finas Apartments is a straightforward, family-run base about a 15-minute walk from Rhodes Old Town, with a small pool and a sun terrace that gets good afternoon light. The vibe is no-fuss and practical: clean whitewashed rooms with kitchenettes, a lobby that smells of sun cream and cheap coffee, and a clientele mix of budget-conscious couples and parents with young kids. This place works best for travellers who want a cheap, clean room to sleep and shower in, not a resort experience or design statements.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes city was founded in 408 BC by the Dorian Greeks as a planned grid city. Its medieval Old Town was built by the Knights Hospitaller from 1309 to 1522, creating a walled enclave of cobbled streets, Gothic arches, and Ottoman mosques. The Knights' Palace dominates the skyline, and the Street of the Knights still leads from the harbour up to the Collachium district. Today the city is a UNESCO World Heritage site, with Byzantine churches, Turkish baths, and a lively waterfront strip of cafés and souvenir shops.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, June, and September are the sweet spots: the sea is warm enough to swim by late May, tourist numbers are manageable, and July-August heat is avoided.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the peak months, driven by European summer holidays. Hotel prices in this category double over July 1. The Medieval Festival in late June and the Rhodes Summer Festival in July draw extra crowds, especially around the Old Town gates.
Budget shoulder season
April and October are best for budget stays: daytime temperatures hit 22-24°C, sights are far less crowded, and Finas Apartments rates drop by 30-40% compared to peak. Sea swimming is still possible in early October.
Weather & packing
July in Rhodes averages 30°C but the Meltemi wind can pick up in the afternoon, making beach time breezy. Pack a light windbreaker or a cotton scarf for evenings, and bring a refillable water bottle: the public fountains in the Old Town are safe to drink from.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- The Old Town’s main gate (Eleftherias Gate) is currently undergoing partial pedestrianisation until late 2026; walkers can still enter via the side ramp near the harbour.
- A new direct bus route from the airport to the town centre (line 50) started in May 2026, costing 2.50€ and running every 30 minutes until 11pm.
- The sea temperature in early July 2026 is forecast around 26°C, above average, so snorkelling masks are recommended.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Finas Apartmets, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the second or third floor facing the inner courtyard, away from the street. The lack of a lift means less foot traffic near these rooms, and they tend to be quieter.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing the street (Rodos town centre traffic and pedestrian noise) and any room near the staircase or entrance, as guests and luggage create clatter.
Best views
If available, a top-floor (third floor) room with a sea or town view offers the best outlook, given the property's central location in Rodos town.
Quietest floors
Second and third floors are the quietest, as they buffer street noise and have less overhead footfall.
🔊 Noise notes
Rodos old town and main roads generate street noise, especially in the evenings. Also, the lack of a lift means stairwell noise can carry through the building.
Insider tips
Request a room at the back of the building for maximum quiet. Check in early to secure a higher floor room, as stairs can be a nuisance with luggage.
- 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
