While Rhodes is both a very beautiful and historical island with many places worth seeing, the Kolymbia Sun Hotel suggests visiting the following sites if your time on the island is limited.

The Medieval City of Rhodes and the Palace of Grand Masters within it. (World Heritage): Simply fascinating, the old town carries twenty four centuries of history and is the largest living medieval town in Europe. Over 5000 habitants live and work in the same buildings in which the Knights of St. John lived six centuries ago. This is where Medieval walls, the Palace of the Grand Masters, the Street of the Knights, Mosques and water fountains, Byzantine and Gothic Churches blend perfectly with bustling shops, restaurants and cafeterias. Thousands of fascinated tourists wonder around the streets of the old town all day long. Life continues in the streets of the old town (mainly Sokratous st) even till late at night where night bars are packed mainly by locals and Italians.

Valley of the Butterflies: Arguably the most attractive natural destination on the island, home to the Panaxia butterfly (Quadripunctaria Poda), the Valley of the Butterflies (Petaloudes) lies 20km South of Diagoras Airport, close to the village of Thelogos (Tholos). From late July to early September, thousands of butterflies overwhelm the valley in order to reproduce. Despite the fact that the number of butterflies declines as the years go by (due to a number of reasons including tourist disturbance) the valley of the butterflies remains a remarkable site one should not miss when visiting the island of Rhodes.

Acropolis of Rhodes (Temple of Apollo): The panoramic view of the city of Rhodes and the Aegean Sea is simply breathtaking. Unbeatable for a romantic evening stroll, the sunset at Monte smith is probably as good as it gets. The view extends over the sea across to the Turkish coast. The Green and beautifully laid out archaeological park contains the Hellenistic stadium, built in the 3rd century BC, where the Athletic events of the Aleia Games took place.

The lovely village of Lindos is one of the most attractive and beautiful villages of Rhodes, and is located south of the capital, on the eastern coast of the island, at a distance of 50km from the city of Rhodes. Beautiful scenery, a lively traditional village, colours and atmosphere of another era and traditional white houses in absolute semmetry attract thousands of visitors each year. The paths of the village are filled with fine restaurants, bars and interesting gift shops. Overlooking Lindos bay and the Aegean Sea stands the famous Acropolis of Lindos and the remains of Lyndia Athenas' temple.
