The Property — Liros
Liros is a straightforward three-star in the new town of Rhodes, a short walk from the beach and Elli Beach. The lobby is compact, tiled, and functional: a small seating area, a reception desk with a tourist leaflet rack, and a lift that hums. It suits independent travellers or couples who want a clean, no-fuss base without resort extras. The USP is location — you're a ten-minute walk from the medieval Old Town gate and five minutes from the new marina's cafés.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes city was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greek states of Ialysos, Kamiros, and Lindos as a planned urban centre. Its medieval heyday came after 1309, when the Knights Hospitaller built the fortress walls and Palace of the Grand Master. Ottoman rule in the sixteenth century added minarets and baths; the Italians in the 1910s-1940s excavated and restored the Knights' quarter. Today the city is a UNESCO World Heritage site, its identity split between the chilled tourist cafes of the new town and the cobbled, crusader-era streets of the Old Town.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, September, October — warm enough for swimming (24-28°C), low rainfall, and cruise-ship crowds haven't peaked or have ebbed.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak, driven by school holidays and northern European charter flights. Hotel prices at Liros typically double from shoulder rates. The medieval festival in late August and the Lindos wine festival in early September add to demand.
Budget shoulder season
May and October are the budget shoulder months: hotel rates 30-40% lower than July, fewer queues for the Palace of the Grand Master, and daytime temperatures still pleasant at 22-26°C.
Weather & packing
July in Rhodes is reliably hot (averaging 30°C) but the Meltemi wind kicks up in the afternoon, dropping temperature by a few degrees. Pack a light jacket or pashmina for evenings on the harbour — it can get chilly by 9pm.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- Rhodes Old Town's main pedestrian gate (Marine Gate) is partially scaffolded for stonework restoration until October 2026 — use the Symi Gate instead for the shortest walk to the taxi rank.
- The new Rhodes Marina extension, adding 200 berths and three waterfront restaurants, opened in April 2026; the restaurants are still bedding in but the walk to the Marina Cafe is now paved and lit.
- Cruise ships are capping visits at 2,500 passengers per day from June 2026 under a new municipal pact to reduce Old Town crowding; expect shorter wait times at the Palace of the Grand Master but fewer daily sailings from Mandraki harbour.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Liros, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor (European first floor, one level above ground) with a rear-facing aspect away from the street. This minimises street noise and puts you above pedestrian traffic while still being easily accessible by stairs if the lift is slow.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms directly off the lobby or near the entrance. In a 3-star hotel these often suffer from footfall noise, the front desk phone, and people waiting for taxis. Also avoid any room overlooking the front pavement—Rodos town's main roads can be busy with mopeds and delivery vans from early morning.
Best views
For a 3-star on Rodos town's edge, the best view is likely a side or rear room overlooking the inner courtyard or neighbouring rooftops—quieter than the street, and you might catch a sliver of sea or hillside. Front rooms will face the street and possibly a car park.
Quietest floors
First and second floors. Being above street level reduces pavement noise, and these floors are less likely to have mechanical plant or roof terrace activity above them. If the hotel has a rooftop bar or terrace, highest floor may be noisy in evening.
🔊 Noise notes
Rodos town has narrow streets with mopeds, tour buses, and early-morning deliveries. The hotel's street address suggests moderate traffic noise during day, quieting after midnight but starting again around 7am. Ask for a courtyard-facing room to cut this.
Insider tips
1) Arrive before 2pm if possible—3-star hotels in Rodos often have limited staff, and early check-in means you can choose a better room before later arrivals. 2) If you're driving, ask at booking about free on-street parking spots nearby; the hotel may not advertise it but locals know the best spots around the block.
- 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
Use ATMs in the town centre for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport or tourist spots, which charge poor rates and high fees.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and larger shops; smaller tavernas and market stalls often prefer cash, and contactless is common for small amounts.
Round up the bill or leave 5-10% in restaurants if service is good; tip taxi drivers a couple of euros for short trips, and leave a small amount for hotel cleaners.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Greek frappe (iced instant coffee) or freddo cappuccino, typically €3-4 at a local cafe.
A gyros pita (pork or chicken) from a souvlaki shop, about €4-5, often sold on the Old Town streets.
Greek souvlaki or moussaka at a traditional taverna: a main dish around €8-12.
The Old Town's narrow lanes have multiple souvlaki stands and bakeries selling cheap pies; the Mandraki harbour area also has affordable kebab shops.
Supermarkets like AB Vasilopoulos or Sklavenitis; cheaper options include Lidl on the edge of town.
High-street chains like Zara and H&M are in the new town near the marina; markets like the Old Town bazaar sell cheap tourist souvenirs and beach gear.
Walking is free and practical in Rodos town; for longer distances, the local bus (€1.80 single) is the cheapest. From the airport, take the express bus (€2.50) to the town centre.
Eat at tavernas away from the main tourist squares for lower prices. Buy water and snacks at supermarkets, not minimarkets in the Old Town. Use the city bus rather than taxis for getting to nearby beaches like Faliraki.
