The Property — Panagiotis
Panagiotis is a straightforward no-frills three-star in the old town of Rhodes, aimed squarely at budget-conscious travellers who prioritise location over luxury. The lobby is clean, tiled and functional — check-in takes two minutes, reception staff speak good English and can point you to a decent taverna. Its main selling point is being a few minutes' walk from the Palace of the Grand Master and the harbour. Best for solo backpackers, couples on a tight budget, or anyone using Rhodes Town as a base for island day trips.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks as a unified capital of the island. Over centuries it was fortified by the Knights of St John (1309–1522), who left the walled Old Town, now a UNESCO World Heritage site — one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe. The Ottomans added mosques and baths, and the Italians in the early 20th century widened streets and added Fascist-era public buildings. Today the city balances tourism with a strong local identity: boutique shops in the Old Town's cobbled lanes, a busy university campus, and a café culture along the Mandraki harbour.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, September, October — warm, sunny, but not scorching; crowds are thinner than July-August, and prices are lower for flights and hotels.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the busiest months, driven by European school holidays and intense package tourism. Hotel prices in Rhodes Town double or triple compared to May. The Medieval Festival in June and the island's religious festivals (like the Assumption of the Virgin on 15 August) add extra demand.
Budget shoulder season
Late April, early May and late September, early October offer 20–28°C days, far fewer tourists, and discounts of 30–50% on accommodation. Perfect for sightseeing without queues.
Weather & packing
Rhodes gets the strong, drying Meltemi wind from July to August, which can kick up dust and make beach towels fly. Pack a light windbreaker or a pashmina even for summer evenings, plus sturdy sandals for the Old Town's uneven stone streets.

- The Palace of the Grand Master has extended its opening hours to 8pm in July and August — book tickets online to bypass queues.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Panagiotis, 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 inner courtyard. These floors are above street level, reducing road noise from Agias Anastasias, while the courtyard side avoids the main road and lift shaft vibration.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor or those facing Agias Anastasias. The 1st floor is closest to the reception and any street-level activity, and the main road carries local traffic, including scooters and delivery vans, especially in summer.
Best views
The hotel is on Agias Anastasias, a local street in Rodos town. Upper rooms on the street side might glimpse the town or hills, but don't expect sea views — this is a 3-star city hotel. Check if the hotel has a roof terrace for a view of the old town.
Quietest floors
3rd and 4th floors are quietest — furthest from the ground-floor reception and any potential bar or restaurant noise, and above the lift machinery hum.
🔊 Noise notes
Agias Anastasias is a secondary road near the centre of Rodos town, so expect daytime traffic and occasional late-night scooters. Bars and restaurants are within walking distance — street noise can drift up, especially on weekends. The lift is likely a single, older cage with audible operation.
Insider tips
Arrive by 14:00 to request a high courtyard-facing room at check-in — the hotel may hold inventory. Request a top-floor room with the lift unlocked for luggage access, as narrow stairs are common in 3-star properties.
- 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

Visa and Mastercard widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and larger shops; smaller cafes, bakeries, and market stalls may prefer cash.
Rounding up the bill or leaving 5-10% at restaurants is common if service was good; taxis appreciate rounding up; no need to tip hotel staff but a couple of euros for housekeeping is polite.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A Greek coffee (café frappé or espresso) at a local kafeneio is about €2.50.
A gyros pita from a takeaway spot is around €3.50-€4.00.
A main course at a taverna (e.g. moussaka or grilled fish) costs €10-€14.
The area around the old town and Mandraki harbour has clusters of souvlaki and gyros shops; prices are lower a block off the main tourist drag.
Common budget supermarkets include Lidl and AB Vassilopoulos; there is a Lidl on the road towards Ialyssos.
For affordable clothing, head to the main shopping street (Papagou or Ethnikis Antistaseos) or the Monday market near the town hall.
Local bus rides in the town cost €1.20 per trip; from the airport, take public bus line 7 into Rodos town for about €3.00 (taxis are €25-30).
Buy water and snacks at supermarkets rather than kiosks or hotel minibars. Eat main meals at lunch when tavernas often offer set menus. Walk or cycle around the old town rather than taking taxis for short hops.
