The Property — Hermes studios
Hermes Studios is a no-fuss, family-run three-star property a short walk from Rhodes Town's medieval walls. Its concrete-and-white aesthetic leans functional rather than stylish, but the rooftop terrace offers sea glimpses and a quiet spot for pre-dinner drinks. Best for budget-conscious couples or small families who plan to spend most of their time exploring the Old Town and beaches, not lounging by the small pool. You check in at a Formica desk with a pot of Greek coffee on the go, and the vibe is friendly, low-key, and utterly unpretentious.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC as a planned city by the ancient Greek states of Ialysos, Kamiros, and Lindos. Its most famous structure, the Colossus of Rhodes, stood for only 56 years before an earthquake toppled it in 226 BC. The Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its Street of the Knights and Palace of the Grand Master built during 14th-century occupation by the Knights of St John. Modern Rhodes blends a lively commercial port with Byzantine churches, Ottoman mosques, and Venetian fortifications. Today it's a sun-drenched crossroads where history sits comfortably alongside package tourism and late-night tavernas.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, June, and September: warm sea (22-25°C), long sunny days, and fewer crowds than peak summer. Spring flowers and lower hotel rates sweeten the deal.
Peak / festival surge
July and August dominate peak season, driven by school holidays and charter flights from northern Europe. Hotel prices in Rhodes Town double or triple versus May. No single festival drives it; the Mediterranean heat and packed beaches are the main event.
Budget shoulder season
April and October offer 20-25°C weather, discounts of 30-50% on summer rates, and uncrowded sites. October sea swimming is still possible, though evenings need a light jacket.
Weather & packing
Rhodes has a strong meltemi wind in July, especially around the northern coast, which can whip sand across beaches. Pack a windproof jacket or light k-way, and always bring sturdy sandals for the medieval Old Town's uneven cobblestones.

- The Ministry of Culture completed restoration of the Street of the Knights' lower section in Spring 2025, reopening four previously closed chapels with new exhibits on Knight-era armour.
