The Property — Sea View
The Sea View is a straightforward 3-star hotel on the eastern coast of Rhodes Town, a short walk from the beach and the old town walls. The lobby is cool tiled floors, a small reception desk and a faint smell of sunscreen — no frills, but efficient and friendly. It suits budget-conscious couples or small families who want a clean base near the water, not a resort experience.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks, later fortified by the Knights of St John in the 14th century. The medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, still contains the Palace of the Grand Master and cobbled streets lined with Ottoman-era mosques and Byzantine churches. Modern Rhodes is a busy port and tourist hub, balancing mass cruise-ship arrivals with quiet local tavernas in the backstreets.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, June, September: warm, sunny days (25-30°C), lower humidity than July-August, and fewer crowds on the beach and in Old Town.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak: 35°C+ heat, full hotels and packed streets. Prices at Sea View and similar 3-star hotels double from €60 to €120+. Events include the Medieval Festival (late July) and feast of St Panteleimon on the 27th.
Budget shoulder season
April, October: daytime 20-25°C, cheaper rooms (€40-70), some shops and restaurants closed but still lively enough for sightseeing and beach walks.
Weather & packing
July in Rhodes is hot and dry, but the Meltemi wind picks up in the afternoon — a light windbreaker or long-sleeved cotton shirt is essential for evening comfort on the seafront. Pack a swimsuit, high-SPF sunscreen, and sturdy sandals for the cobbled Old Town.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- The Old Town's main pedestrianised street, Sokratous, remains the main shopping artery, but newer bars and restaurants are opening in the Jewish Quarter near the Kahal Shalom Synagogue.
- Public bus services from Rhodes Town to Lindos and Faliraki run hourly in summer; expect delays due to roadworks on the coastal highway between Rhodes and Ixia.
- The annual Rhodes Medieval Festival runs from 28 July to 2 August in the Old Town, with jousting and market stalls, so expect higher prices and advance bookings for that period.
