#freehotelstay The Greek Island of Rhodes is full of fascinating history. It is sometimes called “Island of the Sun” because its patron god was Helios, Greek god of the sun. Rhodes is the ninth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and boasts one of the most well preserved medieval towns in Europe. The island has been conquered and occupied by many political groups throughout history - the Greeks, the Romans, the Byzantine Empire, the Ottoman Empire, Italians, Germans, and probably more. There is a mix of cultures, history, and architecture throughout the old town. But perhaps one of the most interesting things about Rhodes is that it once boasted one of the seven great wonders of the ancient world - the Colossus of Rhodes statue. Unfortunately, the statue was destroyed a long time ago, but the site of where the Colossus once stood is marked by deer statues. Aside from history, we also found charming cafes and restaurants in old town serving delicious Mediterranean food, so this town can be enjoyed by history buffs and others who just want to enjoy food and shopping 😊. It’s no wonder Rhodes is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most visited destinations in Europe. #greece #rhodes

#timetotravel My visit to the Acropolis of Rhodes was a journey into the island's ancient past. Perched on a hill overlooking Rhodes Town, the site's archaeological ruins and panoramic views created a sense of wonder. The Temple of Apollo's remnants were a testament to Rhodes' historical significance. Walking amidst the ancient stones, I felt a connection to those who once stood there centuries ago. The location's usually extended visiting hours allowed me to explore as the sun set, casting a warm glow over the landscape. The Acropolis of Rhodes transported me to an era of myths and legends, and its presence amidst the bustling town made it a captivating blend of history and modernity, offering a unique glimpse into the island's heritage.

Rhodes is a beautiful island located in the southeastern Aegean Sea, known for its stunning natural beauty, rich history, and charming Old Town. The island is the largest in the Dodecanese group of islands and has a diverse landscape that includes rugged mountains, rolling hills, and pristine beaches. One of the most striking features of Rhodes is its Old Town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The town is surrounded by medieval walls and is home to narrow cobblestone streets, charming squares, and beautiful buildings that showcase the island's rich history. The Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes is a particularly impressive sight, as is the Street of the Knights, which is lined with historic buildings. #rhodestrip #mytripvlog#tripblazers

Glystra beach is a beach is a lovely dandy beach located on the Southeastern cost on the island of Rhodes and is a quiet popular sand beach The coast is the coastal part of an enclosed small bay. It is 210 m long, 35 m wide on average and east-facing. The swimming waters in the first few metres are shallow with a gently sloping sea bed. The ecological status of this coastal water system is classified as important. (source Special Secretariat for Water). You will find Glystra beach just after Lardos village, on your left hand. The waters here are shallow, so it is also suitable for younger children and kids. Sandwiches and water are available at the little restaurant. On the weekends it becomes a bit more busy as the locals also like to gather at this beach, along with the beach of Lardos. Winter time is quiet

The largest of the twelve Dodecanese islands on the Aegean's eastern edge, Rhodes is also its most popular. The well-preserved medieval city of Rhodes sits at the north of the island of the same name. High rise hotels line the northern and eastern coastlines. Small villages and resorts dot the island's other shores. Whether your interests are beaches, bars or ancient sites, Rhodes offers an abundance of all three. Authentic Greece can be found in the hilly interior of the 50-mile-long island.😍😍#tigeryear2022 #beachlife #staycation #infinitypool #mountainview #nationalpark

The Rhodes Mercure doesn't feel like a normal Mercure hotel and in a good way; it feels more like an independent hotel with a boutique feel to it. You'll be greeted by a whitewash and clean lobby and ground floor. It really feels modern and chic in this sense. There's also an outdoor pool, which is quite small and an outdoor seating area. The rooms are on the small size and a tad bit dated, but it seems as if each room has a balcony, which I absolutely loved. The rooms towards the back are not seaview and give to the adjacent hotel, which might deter some people. However the seaview rooms can get noisy at night from the loud music from the nearby clubs. All in all, a good stay. I loved that there were balconies and the rooms were clean. They were however a bit dated, small and dark. I would stay there again if given the choice as the price was quite affordable for its range! I also loved it's location as it was near restaurants and the beach, so it was very convenient. #hotel #travel #rhodes #greece

Rhodes is an island quite far away from the Greek mainland. In fact you can see Turkey just on the other side. The island is lined with amazing and beautiful views of the emerald colored sea. Further lovely beaches dot the coastline. The old city is a marvel to walk around with its medieval era streets the main highlight. The city doesn't seem to be refurbished too much which gives it more authenticity. Finally take a bus or scooter out of the main city towards the islands many fine beaches. The water is crystal clear and it is a joy to swim in. The locals and welcoming and warm and the meals were simply unforgettable.

Nestling at the foot of a steep rock and beautifully surrounded by the sea lies the traditional settlement of Líndos; on the top of the same rock stands a centuries-old acropolis, proudly overlooking the archipelagos. The acropolis bears silent witness to Líndos’ glorious past, a major naval power of ancient times which reputedly had a population of 17,000. The landscape of Líndos encapsulates the essence of Rhodes: a surprisingly felicitous blend of ancient and medieval! With 600,000 visitors annually, Líndos competes with Delphi as the second most visited archeological site in Greece. Enjoy it! According to tradition the temple of Athena on the acropolis was founded by Danaus, who came to the island with his 50 daughters to escape the rage of the goddess Hera. Follow the same ancient path that the ancient Rhodians took. When you reach the acropolis you will see a 280 BC relief of a Rhodian Trireme (ancient Greek warship) carved into the rock, an indication of the naval power of ancient Rhodes. On the bow of the Trireme stood a statue of General Agesander, sculpted by Pythokritos. Did you know that the first naval code, the famous “Rhodian Naval Code”, a code of international law and one of the most important legal documents in the world was written here in Rhodes? The emperor Antonio wrote of the Rhodian Naval Code: We may rule the world but the Rhodian Code rules the seas! Through an ancient old gate you enter the world of the magnificent acropolis; on the first level you can see more recent buildings like the 1317 Castle of the Knights of St John, which was built on the foundations of an older Byzantine fortification. There is also the Greek Orthodox Church of St John, built on the ruins of an older church. The Knights significantly strengthened the fortifications of the acropolis, turning Líndos into a powerful fortified castle. #mynovgetaway #mynovgetaway

However, this is a nice little New England Town that's located basically between New York City and Boston. If you're spending time in the Northeast, this is a good place to check out.

There are many islands in Greece, and many of the less popular islands don't even have many guides. But most of these islands are very suitable for a relaxing vacation, with beautiful scenery and affordable prices. Rhodes is located in the southeastern Aegean Sea, near Türkiye. When I searched on social platforms before, I always went to Rhode Island near Boston. The island is the ninth largest in the entire Mediterranean region and the fourth largest in Greece. Its previous history was filled with various occupations, and it returned to Greece at the Paris Peace Agreement in 1947. It is said that the sun god fell in love with the goddess Rhodes. When the sun's rays from the sun god hit her skin, she turned into an island called Rhodes. Rhodes means rose in Greek. Suddenly I felt that this name was beautiful. Sure. The ancient city of Rhodes technically consists of three separate areas, but visitors may rarely notice the differences between them. To the north, there are the straight streets of the Knight's Quarter, which was founded by the Knights of St. John in the Middle Ages. To the south, there is Hora, also the Turkish Quarter, which is full of dense cobblestone alleys and is the center of the old city. Restaurants and shops are next to each other, as well as abandoned mosques and Muslim historical relics. The Jewish Quarter in the southeast lost most of its residents in World War II and is now a quiet area. After getting off the bus, you can see the thick city walls surrounding the old city after a few steps. Enter from the nearest city gate (Gate of Freedom) and walk a few steps to the main attractions in the ancient city. The Archaeological Museum of Rhodes will probably be the first attraction you will visit. Single tickets are 6 euros per person, and a pass is 10 euros per person. The pass also allows you to visit the Grand Palace of the Knights Templar. It is recommended to purchase the pass.

After my bath, I applied some fragrance, sat by the window, admired the city nightscape, and felt incredibly refreshed. 🍴 The hotel restaurant offers a wide variety of cuisines, from authentic local dishes to international fare. I enjoyed a delicious dinner here, and every bite was satisfying and delightful. 🎨 In addition to the delicious food, Arthur Suites Hotel also offers a wealth of entertainment activities. With a gym, swimming pool, and spa, I was able to maintain my physical and mental well-being while enjoying my leisure time. 💼 Business travelers need not worry either, as the hotel's meeting rooms and business center can meet various business needs, allowing you to work efficiently while on the go. 🌌 At night, I lay in bed, gazing at the starry sky outside the window, listening to soft music, and gradually drifted off to sleep. I slept particularly soundly that night. ✨ Arthur Suites Hotel provided me with an unforgettable stay. It not only offers high-quality facilities and attentive service but also breathtaking views and delicious food.
