What to do and see in Rhodes, South Aegean: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
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.

Largely rebuilt by the Italians this is a very beautiful building - lovely views from the windown and lots and lots of interesting stuff for history buffs - beautiful mosaic floors nicked from Kos. You do get a feel for how the palace was during the crusades.

If you hire a car the visit to Asklipio is well worthwhile. Really a "hidden gem" with a lovely old castle on the hill and NO CHARGE to visit!

Beautiful clear blue sea which is wavy in the morning and very calm in the afternoon. White pebbles surround the the long bay and there’s plenty of space (don’t be put off by the busy car park!) Sun-loungers are 5 Euros each with a sunshade and there’s a taverna for lunch, drinks snacks and ice coffees. One of my fav beaches in Rhodes.

after 400 steps you arrive at the top of the mountain at a beautiful church with a beautiful view. The walk up is well worth it
8. Monastery of Panagia Ypseni

Reviewed By Sierfly - Poznan, Poland
In front of the old monastyr area there is a new one in construction phase - don't be misleaded, the 'treasure' is located in the old one! Comparing to the average size of religious building in Rhodes you can recognize that new building is rather large and it may mean also the value local people see in the Panagia Ypseni holy icon and support (including miracles ;) ) received from the founder of the monastyr - St. Meletios. It is also nunnery and it is very well maintained in terms of garden activities and cleannes. You may witness nuns prayers and songs that would give you spiritual experience. Unfortunately we were able to see the holy icon only from the distance since it was located in the corner (on the right side) and nuns were singing gathereed in that corner but it was fine, we accepted situation and didn't want to disturb religious activities (not that frequently seen in Greece since majority of monastyrs are privately owned!).
