Rhodes —
A perfect blend of ancient towns, sun-soaked beaches, and stunning natural beauty, Rhodes is an island bursting with Greek culture and is the perfect place for a Mediterranean break. The island’s capital, Rhodes Town, contains the largest preserved medieval city in the world, so when you’re not relaxing on the beach or visiting sights such as the city’s windmills or the Rhodes Aquarium, take a walk along the old fortifications and experience this city’s ancient atmosphere.
In the southeast of the island, more ancient ruins can be found at Lindos, where the town’s iconic Acropolis rises above the modern resorts below. Here, you can also find some of the island’s best beaches - Tsambika is a beautiful long beach with fine, golden sand, while Faliraki is popular for its wealth of restaurants, bars, and watersports. In the months of July and August, an excursion to the Valley of the Butterflies (Petaloudes) is a must, when the scent of the Storax tree attracts hundreds of thousands of butterflies to this tranquil forest.
