The Property — Isoles
The Isoles is a no-frills 3-star property on the eastern edge of Rhodes Town, a short walk from the beach and the casino. The lobby feels like a functional, sun-washed waiting room with a bar, not a lounge — clean tiles, potted plants and a breeze from the open door. It's right for someone who wants a cheap base with a pool and breakfast, not character or charm. The USP is location: a 15-minute walk to the old town walls and five minutes from a sandy stretch at Elli Beach.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks as a planned city on a grid system, later fortified by the Knights of St John in the 14th century. Its medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is ringed by 4 km of ramparts and contains the Palace of the Grand Master. The city's harbour once held the Colossus, one of the Seven Wonders. Modern Rhodes is a tourist hub that balances Byzantine churches, Ottoman mosques and Venetian-style loggias with a beach resort economy.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
June and September: warm and sunny with sea temperatures above 22°C, but without the July-August peak crowds. May also works for quieter sightseeing.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the hottest and busiest months, with average highs of 30°C and temperatures often reaching 35°C. Hotel prices double or triple from the shoulder; the Medieval Festival in late June/early July and the Sound of Rhodes music event draw extra visitors. Booking six months ahead is essential.
Budget shoulder season
April-May and October offer 10-20°C cooler days, 30-50% lower hotel rates and empty beaches. The sea is swimmable from late May. Fewer flights, so check availability early.
Weather & packing
In July, the meltemi wind can kick up sudden afternoon gusts, especially on the east coast. Pack a light windbreaker and always carry sunscreen — the sun is strong even at 5 pm.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- The new Rhodes municipal parking lot near the port opened in 2025, slightly easing the summer gridlock in the Old Town; use it if driving.
- A direct ferry from Rhodes to Marmaris (Turkey) now runs twice weekly in summer — useful for a day trip, but check visa requirements.
- The Old Town's main street, Sokratous, is undergoing cobblestone repairs through summer 2026; expect some diversions and dust.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Isoles, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on an upper floor, as high as possible, to reduce street noise. Floors 3 and above are preferable due to the lift access and likely better views over the surrounding area.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms: they're more exposed to street footfall, passers-by, and any late-night noise from the immediate pavement. Also avoid rooms directly adjacent to the lift shaft on any floor, as the mechanism can be audible during night hours.
Best views
Rooms on the upper floors (3+) facing away from the main street may offer a quieter outlook over inner courtyards or the side streets of Rodos Old Town.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 through 4 are the quietest, being above street level and likely away from the entrance and ground-floor common areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Rodos is a busy tourist hub, particularly in summer. The hotel's address on a main thoroughfare means mopeds, taxis, and delivery vans from early morning until late evening. Bars and restaurants nearby can generate chatter and music until midnight.
Insider tips
Ask for a room on the back side of the building (if possible) to dodge street noise. Check in after 2 PM to allow the cleaning team to prepare the highest available floor. If you're driving, note that parking in central Rodos is tight — enquire about a reserved spot or nearby public car park before arrival.
- 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
Cash is king on Rodos; you can change at banks in town or withdraw from ATMs, but avoid airport exchange bureaux and tourist-centre kiosks that give poor rates. Many shops prefer cards, but always carry some cash for tavernas and small markets.
Visa and Mastercard accepted in most hotels, restaurants, and shops in Rodos old town and along the coast; contactless is common but American Express and mobile pay less so in smaller spots.
Not expected but appreciated: round up the bill in restaurants or leave 5-10% for good service; taxis usually round up to the nearest euro; hotel staff tip a couple of euros for help with bags.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A Greek frappe or Freddo cappuccino from a street kafeneio costs around €3-4.
A gyros pita or souvlaki from a fast-casual spot runs about €5-7.
A main dish like moussaka or grilled fish in a taverna outside the tourist strip costs €10-15.
Old town alleys near the harbour have cheap gyros and souvlaki stands; also try the market area for local breads and olives.
Lidl and AB Vassilopoulos are common budget supermarkets around Rodos town.
Cheap high-street shopping is limited; H&M and Zara are in the new town, but better bargains at local markets or the outdoor bazaar near the old port.
Buses are the cheapest way around the island at about €1-2 per ride within the city; a day pass for local buses is around €5. From the airport, take the public bus (€2.50) into Rodos town instead of taxis (€25+).
Eat where the locals queue for lunch – tourist menus near the old town harbour are overpriced. Buy water and snacks from supermarkets not corner kiosks. Avoid hiring a car in peak season; scooter hire is cheaper but risky on twisty roads.
