The Property — Wonderview
Walking into Wonderview you get a clean, functional 3-star lobby with tile floors, a small reception desk and a seating area with a TV. It sits on the eastern coast of the island, a short walk from a sandy beach and a strip of tavernas. The near bonus is the bar-restaurant with a small pool – decent for a quick dip after the beach. It suits budget-conscious couples or families who want sea access without resort prices, and who plan to use the room mainly for sleeping.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes was founded in 408 BC by the city-states of Ialyssos, Kamiros and Lindos as a unified capital. Its medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built by the Knights of St John from 1309 to 1522, encircling a labyrinth of cobbled streets and a Palace of the Grand Master. The city then spent nearly 400 years under Ottoman rule, which left mosques and minarets among the Gothic stone. Today it balances that layered history with a busy modern port, beach tourism and a strong local identity in the New Town district.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, June and September – low humidity, steady sunshine and sea temperatures warm enough for swimming from June. Crowds are moderate compared to July–August peak.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the absolute peak: school holidays in Europe, temperatures often 30–35°C, and the medieval Old Town chock-full. Hotel prices roughly double from May levels. Major events include the Medieval Rose Festival and nightly sound-and-light shows at the Palace.
Budget shoulder season
April and October offer 20–25°C days, cheaper rooms (often 30–50% off peak) and far fewer tourists. In April some beach bars may only open at weekends; in October swimming is still possible but the sea starts cooling.
Weather & packing
Rhodes gets a strong seasonal wind called the meltemi in July–August, which can kick up sand on east-coast beaches. Pack a light windproof jacket even in summer, and always bring reef-safe sunscreen – the water clarity is excellent and local shops often stock it.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- The Rhodes Old Town cable car (connecting the commercial harbour to the Palace) is closed for maintenance until further notice – use the municipal bus route 3 instead.
- A new pedestrianised zone along the New Town’s Mandraki harbour was completed in early 2026, improving walking access to waterfront cafés and yacht tours.
- July 2026 sees the 30th Rhodes International Film Festival (4–9 July), which closes several streets in the Old Town for outdoor screenings – expect crowds and some short detours.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Wonderview, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request upper floors (3rd or 4th) facing the rear courtyard. These get the most natural light and have the least street noise from the main road.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground floor rooms, especially those near the entrance or reception. Street-level rooms here pick up foot traffic, delivery vehicles, and late-night comings and goings.
Best views
A rear-facing room on an upper floor gives you a decent view over the courtyard and neighbouring rooftops, with a sliver of the sea in the distance if you’re lucky. Front-facing rooms look directly onto the main road and parked cars.
Quietest floors
3rd and 4th floors are consistently quieter. The building’s concrete construction dampens sound well once you’re off ground level.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel sits on a main road that handles local traffic and tour buses until late. Morning deliveries to nearby shops start around 7am. The lift can be heard from adjacent rooms on the 1st floor, and there’s occasional noise from the small bar on the ground floor until midnight.
Insider tips
1. If you’re arriving by car, ask the front desk about free street parking on the side streets – don’t park on the main road. 2. Request a room on the 3rd floor when booking; it’s a good balance of quiet and quick lift access.
- 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 for the best rate; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport and tourist spots as they charge high fees and poor rates.
Cards are widely accepted in shops and restaurants, but keep cash for small tavernas, market stalls, and taxis; contactless is common.
Rounding up the bill or leaving 5-10% in restaurants is appreciated but not mandatory; taxi drivers and hotel staff don't expect tips, but rounding up is fine.

Cheap car hire →A freddo cappuccino or espresso at a local kafeneio costs around €2.50-3.00.
A gyros pitta from a street-side grill is about €3-4, or a slice of spanakopita from a bakery for €2.

Look for souvlaki or gyros stands near the Old Town market and along Orfanidou Street.

The Old Town market has affordable souvenir clothes and handmade sandals; for basics, try H&M or Zara at the Rhodes Town shopping centre.

Eat at tavernas away from the tourist strip in the New Town for lower prices; use public buses instead of taxis; buy groceries at Lidl for picnic lunch.
