The Property — Lindos Princess
The Lindos Princess is a sprawling, family-focused resort set on a sandy beach about 45 minutes south of Rhodes Town. Its lobby is a cool, marble-floored hall with high ceilings and big sofas, leading out to terraced pools and the Aegean. The vibe is organised, all-inclusive luxury aimed at couples and families who want sun, sea and service without leaving the grounds. It suits people after a proper beach holiday with decent facilities, not a culturally immersive stay.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks and grew into a major maritime power, best known for the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders. The medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was built by the Knights of St John from 1309 and still has cobbled streets, fortifications and the Palace of the Grand Master. Byzantine, Ottoman and Italian influences layer the architecture, creating a dense, lived-in city. Today, it’s a busy tourist hub mixing ancient ruins, lively harbour bars and modern shops, with a permanent population of about 50,000.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May and September: sunny, mid-20s °C, fewer crowds than July–August, and the sea is warm enough for swimming. June is also great but starts to get busy.
Peak / festival surge
July and August: temperatures hit 30–35°C, hotel prices double or triple, and beaches and sites are packed. No major festival drives this; it’s pure European summer school-holiday season.
Budget shoulder season
October and April: discounts of 40–50% on peak rates, still 20–25°C in October, quieter streets and lower humidity. You’ll need a light jacket for evenings.
Weather & packing
Rhodes gets strong, dry northerly winds in July, especially along the east coast; pack a windproof layer for evenings. Explicit packing rule: bring a wide-brimmed hat and high-factor sunscreen — the sun is intense by 10am.
