Resorts
Rhodes
Rhodes, the capital, occupies the northernmost tip of the island. There are actually three cities on this site -modern, ancient and medieval. The modern town has a cosmopolitan character, many late 20th century buildings and hotels. The ancient town, which was founded in 408 B.C. according to plans by Hippodamos of Milesios (the first town planner), started from Monte Smith hill where the acropolis stood and extended as far as what is now the medieval city . All that is left of it today is the ruins of the temples of Zeus, Athena Poliados and Apollo, the Stadium, Gymnasium and the Theatre, which has been restored. The medieval city is still surrounded by the high walls erected by the Knights. It is divided by an inner wall into two unequal parts, the smaller Collachio and the larger Burgo or Hora.

Pastida
Pastida is traditional, idyllic and typical Greek. Located inland of the cosmopolite north of the Rhodes Island, only 15 minutes away from the sophisticated Rhodes Town, the village of Pastida is an oasis of Greece authenticity, surrounded by lush olive groves and citrus trees.
Small whitewashed houses, tiny and narrow alleys, the traditional central square where locals gather in the traditional cafes to discuss about the world news every afternoon - Pastida is a quintessence of a typical Greek village life.

Ialyssos (or Trianda)
Ialyssos was settled by Minoans in 1600 BC and may have been damaged in the explosions and tidal waves from Santorini. Today is a lively village and cultural tradition at the north west side of the island. The byzantine church of Saint Nikolas with frescoes since 15 AD is worth a visit.
Trianda near the site of ancient Ialyssos on the top of Filerimos hill, where the 15th century monastery of the same name also stands, along with the ruined temples of Athena and Zeus Poliea in the ancient acropolis.

Lindos
Superb beaches, white-washed houses clinging to the hillside, ancient ruins of an Acropolis. A brilliant contrast, one of the most stunning views in Greece. Not many holiday resorts present such a stunning visual impact. Lindos is a maze of narrow cobbled streets with a terrific choice of lovely shops, bars, restaurants and clubs. Good beaches include the main bay, Pallas Beach and St Paul's Bay.
The temple of Athena Lindia (4th century B.C.) coming gradually into view as you ascend the stairs is a sight never to be forgotten.
