I love visiting places that combine the natural beauty of beach travel with the ancient towns and picturesque villages! I think Rhodes may be the perfect destination for our favorite kind of travel that combines pleasure and fun with the ability to learn about a place with a rich history. Looks like there are plenty of affordable luxury resorts in Rhodes to choose from – thanks for the helpful resource!
You are welcome Aly. Thank you for visiting beach travel destinations and taking the time to leave me comments.
Amazing place, amazing beaches and wonderful post regarding Rhodes! Thanks so so much for putting the estimated price to each restaurant (something that gives a plus over other blogs and posts!). Elysium Resort seems to the the perfect place to stay in my opinion and based on the info shared and photos. I can´t wait to be on vacations and this is deffinetly a place I have in consideraiton!
Great Johnny sounds like your bags are packed! Thanks for visiting beach travel destinations.
Okay, I’m packing my bags and heading out right now! The pictures look amazing and the descriptions are so clear. I just want to go there and relax right now. What would you say is the minimum budget for a couple going there for a romantic weekend? Going to look into this one.
Well it really depends on where you are headed from, and what you want in a hotel price wise. You can look up airfare for when you’d like to go and then choose a hotel, it will give you the cost. Then I always budget $100 a day for food. If you are just relaxing for a romantic getaway, you probably won’t do tours, if you would like to do a tour or two, click on my tours listed (more will show up) and you can see the pricing for those.
Thank you for this information which is given in lots of detail. I can dream of getting to some of these hotels and I will certainly add them to my list. As a single mum or 2 teenage girls, where would you recommend is a good, middle-of-the-road place if we couldn’t afford the ‘luxury’ prices?
Yes, if you look at the map at the very bottom, it shows all hotels at various prices. From modest to luxury 🙂
Okay you have made it very tough for choosing between Faliraki Beach, Tsambika Beach and Kallithea Beach. Thankfully you pointed out that I can likely cover all three on a Romantika All-inclusive Day Cruise. The thought of sailing around the Med on a 72 footer has me mouth-watering. I might have a fight however with my family though as my wife would prefer the Rhodes kayaking while my son certainly the Lindos speedboat tour. We would agree however that either the Elysium Resort or Lindos Mare would be right up our alley. Thank you again for a thorough review.
You are very welcome, any way you go, you will enjoy! Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks for taking the time to leave me comments.
Where is Rhodes? It sounds like something that you will fun in South Africa haha. I am always open and willing to learn more about places I haven’t been to so I will be sure to wait for your feedback. Thank you so much in advance for your assistance. I will be sure to share this article with friends and family
Rhodes is part of Greece! South Africa…that made me chuckle 😀 It’s actually right off the coast of Turkey, but part of Greece. Hope that answers your question good enough 🙂 Thanks for visiting beach travel destinations.
A friend has returned from Rhodes and was encouraging me to go. Among the “must-visit locations” he included Tsambika Beach and Anthony Quinn Beach. I will remember The old man and the sea when I go to this beach.
Thank you very much for dedicating a section to the weather. When planning our visit, we found this section helpful.
You are welcome Able, glad you enjoyed your visit to the Top Luxury Resorts in Rhodes.
Rhodes, old town, seems like a place that would take you back into history much like a time machine. It being a Unesco World Heritage site just adds to the appeal. Now couple this with all the other attractions mentioned and you have an ideal holiday. With top notch beaches to visit, romantic day cruises and the very reasonable prices with exceptional quality and I ask why haven’t I discovered this before? This would be a perfect place for a honey moon.
It would be the perfect place for a honeymoon! Plenty of everything to keep you occupied and then you have top notch accommodations, and relaxing beaches. Rhodes has it all!
Thanks for your review of Rhodes as one of the best places to visit in Greece. I’ve never been to Greece, but the pictures of the island and beaches are beautiful. I don’t like humidity and I don’t like rain. So if I were to go, it would be in June. Even July being the hottest month at 86 degrees is great so long as there’s no humidity. With sea temperatures at 73 degrees and above from June and November, this would be so enjoyable. I’m glad beaches are well occupied but not crowded. I’m a foodie, so good food is important to me when I travel.
I’m not big on fish. I’m more of a meat and potatoes girl. So, Masasoura restaurant sounds great. The price is totally affordable, between 11 – 20 bucks. Who can go wrong with stuffed potatoes, feta cheese with honey, homemade pies and desserts? Great review.
Thank you Shalisha. I am glad you enjoyed my review on Rhodes. It is the perfect place for a vacation.
Hello there. I have to say that i have been fairly enjoying reading many of your articles on this website here as it always makes me want to get up and go places. Although I know that its probably going to be a little while yet before i am able to jet off to anywhere as nice as this, i love rreading abouut these places.
Thanks for sharing

You are welcome, Karalyne. I am glad you have enjoyed your visits to beach travel destinations. Please let me know if I can answer any additional questions. And thank you for taking the time to leave me comments as well.
This old town in Europe looks beautiful. This would be a great vacation spot. You noted a lot of beaches with clear blue waters at every shore. Additional amenities such as speed boats and cruises would give you way more to do than just see the sites.
If the vacation was not limited in time would you recommend taking a cruise to Rhodes or fly over to Rhodes?
A cruise to Rhodes would be wonderful. I would want to be able to spend time in Rhodes…not just a day. Most cruises only stop for a day or part of a day. Just depends on how much time you want to spend on Rhodes.
leisure is my favorite topic. In current busy life patterns, people are unable to locate attractive and wonderful travel destinations. Through this article and your website content, you have taken a wonderful effort to educate the readers to find out wonderful travel destinations.
giving these insights through an affiliate business model is the other greatest attempt that I really appreciate. So I really admire this article.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed!
I have always wanted to travel to Greece, as from TV advertisements and from your video its beautiful country.
