The Property — Kamari Beach
Kamari Beach is a solid four-star resort on Rodos’ east coast, built low and white against the black volcanic sand of Kamari Bay. In the lobby you get sea views straight through the open-air lounge, with a faint salt breeze and the sound of pebbles washing ashore — calm and unpretentious. It suits couples or solo travellers who want a proper beachfront pool terrace, decent breakfast, and direct access to the strip of tavernas, without any resort-games fuss.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rodos Town was founded in 408 BCE by the Dorian Greeks and grew rich from maritime trade, its grid plan laid out by Hippodamos of Miletos. The Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders, once stood at the harbour mouth; it collapsed in an earthquake in 226 BCE. The medieval Old Town, ringed by the fortifications of the Knights Hospitaller, is a UNESCO World Heritage site of cobbled streets, mosques and Gothic palaces. Modern Rodos blends that crusader past with package-tourism seaside resorts — a place where knights’ castles sit a few hundred metres from sun-lounger strips.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
June and September: reliably hot (high 20s to low 30s °C), low rainfall, the sea is warm for swimming, and the main streets feel buzzy but not crushed.
Peak / festival surge
July-August: school-holiday peak, hotel prices jump 40-60% above the May/October base. The big draw is wall-to-wall sun, beach parties, weekly medieval festivals in the Old Town, and the Sound of Rhodes festival across the island.
Budget shoulder season
May and early October: you still get 24-28 °C days, hotel rates drop by a third, beaches are half-empty, and it’s quiet enough to enjoy the acropolis and castle without queuing.
Weather & packing
Rodos is one of Greece’s sunniest spots year-round, but the meltemi north wind can whip up suddenly in July. Pack a light windproof layer for the beach and a pair of proper sandals with grip — the volcanic sand at Kamari gets roasting by midday.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- The new hop-on hop-off bus route now runs from Kamari to Rodos Town every 30 minutes in summer, replacing a less reliable local line — useful for day trips.
- Rodini Park, the ancient botanical garden just south of the town, reopened in spring 2026 with upgraded paths and a small café after renovation.
- Local authorities have introduced beach access fees for sunbed rows at Kamari (€8-12 per pair) to manage summer crowding — pre-book via your hotel or the official town app.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Kamari Beach, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a sea-facing room on floors 3 or 4 for the best balance of view and quiet. Upper floors have better sightlines over the pool and beach.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the ground or first floor near the reception or pool bar can get noise from early deckchair setup and evening chatter. Also avoid any rooms directly overlooking the car park or back alley if street-side.
Best views
Sea-view rooms on floors 3–4 offer unobstructed views of the Aegean and the hotel's landscaped pool terrace. Corner rooms also catch the sunset.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are generally quietest, further from street-level sources and common areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Main road runs along the front; morning deliveries and late-night bar music from nearby tavernas can be audible. The hotel's own pool bar occasionally hosts evening entertainment until 11pm.
Insider tips
1) Ring the hotel a day before arrival and request a high floor sea-view room – front desk often honours early requests. 2) If driving, there's free parking on the roadside to the left of the entrance; the hotel's own carpark fills up fast in peak season.
- 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

Eat where locals eat — cafes and tavernas on side streets off the tourist drag. Buy water and snacks from supermarkets, not minimarkets near beaches. Walk the old town walls instead of paying for the Palace ticket (€6).
