The Property — Kamiros
Stepping into the Kamiros lobby, you get terracotta floors, whitewashed walls, and a small reception desk with a tired but helpful clerk. It's a straightforward 3-star beach hotel on the east coast of Rhodes, just south of the town centre, with a clean pool and a decent buffet breakfast. The vibe is practical and quiet – it suits couples or older travellers who want a base by the sea without paying for frills. The USP is location: the beach is a two-minute walk and you're close enough to walk into old Rhodes along the waterfront.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes city was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks as a planned port settlement, its grid street layout still visible in the modern lower town. It grew into a maritime power, best known for the Colossus of Rhodes – a giant bronze statue that stood at the harbour entrance until an earthquake in 226 BC toppled it. After the Knights of St John took over in 1309, they fortified the city with massive walls and built the Palace of the Grand Master, giving the Old Town its distinctive medieval character. In 1522, the Ottomans captured Rhodes and added mosques and bathhouses, layers still visible today. Contemporary culture mixes beach tourism, archaeology, and a lively café scene in the Old Town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, June, September: warm enough to swim, clear skies, but not the full August crowds or heat. July is also fine but hotter and busier.
Peak / festival surge
July and August. This is the European school holiday period, so charter flights fill up. Hotel prices at Kamiros typically double from June to July. No major festival, but ferries and Old Town streets are packed.
Budget shoulder season
Late May, early June, and September. You get 25-28°C days, lower room rates (often 30-40% off peak), and quieter beaches.
Weather & packing
Rhodes has hot, dry summers with nearly zero rain from June to September, but the meltemi wind can pick up in the afternoon, especially on the east coast. Pack a light windbreaker or pashmina for beach evenings, plus a decent sunhat (wide brim) and high-SPF sunscreen – the UV index is brutal.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- The new marina at Mandraki Harbour opened in early 2026, adding a pedestrian promenade and several new cafés and restaurants along the waterfront, making the walk from Kamiros into the Old Town more pleasant.
- Rhodes town's bus station at the port has been relocated to a temporary site near the casino for 2026 due to construction of a new transport hub; check local signage for routes to Kamiros.
- Several UNESCO-funded restoration projects are underway in the Old Town walls, meaning some sections near the Palace of the Grand Master are scaffolded but accessible, and entry prices for the palace remain €8.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Kamiros, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the rear courtyard. These are far enough from the street to cut traffic hum, and you get the evening breeze off the hill without direct sun blasting the balcony.
Rooms to avoid
Skip any room on the ground floor — noise from the lobby, breakfast setup, and staff corridor leaks in, plus anyone passing can see straight into the window. Also avoid rooms above the main entrance or near the lift shaft on floors 1 and 2.
Best views
Rooms facing east at the back give a partial view over the low-rise buildings towards the hill and a slice of the sea in the distance. Front-facing rooms look directly onto the street and parked cars — not worth the trade-off in noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 3–4 are the most consistently quiet. The building has 4 floors — top floors have less foot traffic above and street noise dissipates by the 3rd floor.
🔊 Noise notes
Main noise source: the narrow street out front, used by scooters, delivery vans, and tour buses pulling up early (around 7 am). Second source: the breakfast room and kitchen extraction fan on the ground floor, which kicks in at 6:30 am and hums until 10 am. Third: the lift — it’s a small, slow model and ‘dings’ loudly on arrival at each floor, especially noticeable from rooms near the stairwell.
Insider tips
1. If you drive, ask reception on arrival about the free public parking lot 150m east (behind the supermarket) — the hotel’s own lot only holds 5 cars and fills by 4 pm. 2. Request a top-floor room and a second pillow — the standard pillows are thin and the top floor rooms are slightly larger with better mattress support.
- 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
