The Property — Аsteria **
Asteria is a functional 3-star on Rodos' east coast, five minutes’ walk from the beach at Faliraki. The lobby feels like a modest Greek holiday lobby — bright, tiled, with a small reception desk and a tourist-information rack. It suits budget-conscious travellers and families who want a clean base near the water without paying for resort frills.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rodos city was founded in 408 BC by Dorian Greeks and became a major maritime power, famous for the Colossus of Rhodes (one of the Seven Wonders). The medieval Old Town, built by the Knights of St John in the 14th century, is a UNESCO World Heritage site with cobblestone streets and fortified walls. In the 20th century, Italian occupation left neoclassical architecture and a planned suburban grid. Today, Rodos balances its ancient heritage with a tourism-driven economy — the Old Town is a warren of souvenir shops, tavernas and museums, while the modern city hums with cafes and ferries.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, June and September — warm (mid-20s to low-30s °C), low humidity, and the Meltemi wind keeps things fresh. Crowds are thin in May and build through June.
Peak / festival surge
July and August — temperatures hit 35°C+ and the island is packed with package tourists and day-trippers from cruise ships. Hotel prices double or triple; Faliraki’s bars and clubs drive a young party crowd.
Budget shoulder season
Late April and October — discounts of 40–60% off peak rates. April can have rain; October is still warm (high 20s) but many beach bars close after mid-month.
Weather & packing
Rodos is sun-drenched but the Meltemi wind can pick up sand, especially on east-coast beaches. Pack light layers, a windproof jacket and strong sunscreen — the UV index is extreme in July.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- Faliraki’s main beach road is undergoing repaving through summer 2026, expect some detours and noise near the hotel. The city’s old-town street lighting upgrade continues on Sokratous and Aristotelous streets — evening strolls may be darker in those sections.
- A new direct flight route from Manchester to Rodos (EasyJet) started in May 2026, adding UK visitors. The local bus from Faliraki to Rodos town is reliable (every 30 min, €2.50) but often full during peak hours.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Аsteria **, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor with a balcony facing the inner courtyard or pool. These are quieter and get morning sun, away from street-level noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor (noisy, less privacy) and any room directly above the bar or restaurant area (if any) due to footfall and music until late evening. Side-street-facing rooms on floors 1-3 can get traffic hum from the road.
Best views
Rooms facing the inner courtyard or pool offer a shaded view. Sea or city views are likely limited at this address; best possible is a partial view from higher floors over rooftops.
Quietest floors
The top floor (3rd above ground) is typically quietest if there’s no rooftop bar; otherwise, the 2nd floor offers good balance of quiet and lift access.
🔊 Noise notes
Rodos town streets can be busy until late. This hotel is on a street with foot traffic and occasional mopeds. Air-conditioning units on neighbouring buildings may emit a low hum on balconies.
Insider tips
Check if the hotel has a free luggage store if you arrive early. For parking, use the nearest public car park (ask reception for directions) – on-street parking is scarce in Rodos town.
- 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; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport or tourist piers—they give poor rates and often charge high fees.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in most shops, tavernas, and hotels; contactless works at larger chains and supermarkets, but small places still prefer cash.
Restaurants: round up the bill or leave 5–10% for good service. Taxis: round up to the nearest euro. Hotel staff: €1–2 per bag for porters, €1–2 per day for housekeeping.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A freddo espresso or freddo cappuccino at a local kafeneio: around €3–4.
A gyros pita or souvlaki wrap from a street-side grill: about €4–5.
A main course of moussaka, grilled fish, or a meat dish at a modest taverna: around €10–14.
The Old Town and the Mandraki harbour area have clusters of fast-food souvlaki and gyros spots, especially on Sokratous and Orfanidou streets.
Lidl and AB Vasilopoulos are the main budget supermarket chains in Rodos town.
The main pedestrian high street (Socratous) in the Old Town has affordable chain clothing stores; look for market stalls selling T-shirts, beachwear, and sandals at lower prices.
Local bus from the central terminal to Faliraki or Lindos costs €2–5 one way; from the airport, the mini-bus to Rhodes Town is about €2.50 (cheaper than taxis at €25+).
Eat at tavernas a block away from the main tourist streets for lower prices and better value. Buy bottled water and snacks from supermarkets rather than minimarkets right on the beach. Use the public bus rather than taxis for day trips—it’s reliable and costs a fraction.

Top Attractions in Rodos
💡 Come at dawn or dusk for photos without crowds. The lanterns look magical after sunset, and the architecture is best seen without souvenir stalls in the way.
💡 Go early morning before 09:00 for photos without crowds. The nearby Jewish Quarter has fewer tourists.
💡 Walk it at dusk when the street lamps glow and most tourists have left. Look for the carved coats of arms above each inn doorway.
💡 Sunset from the pier is excellent. Bring water shoes if you want to wade. The fish market nearby is lively at 08:00.
💡 Best light for photos is just before sunset. Grab a cheap souvlaki from a harbour-side kiosk and sit on the rocks near the windmills.
💡 Start at the Liberty Gate end; the path is mostly flat and takes about 40 minutes. Good for early morning.
💡 Climb at sunset for clear views over the bay and modern city. No ticket needed.
