History, beaches and landscapes
by Nico_
Rodos town: the Castle of St. John's Knights, Mandraki the pier, and hangin out in the alleyways of the old town.
Relax in the beaches or rent a motorbike to explore bit to bit the island.
You can choose from sandy and crowded beaches or solitaires rocky bay, it's up to you. The old city by night with the Castle shot by shades and lights.
Prassonissi, the lower bottom side of the island where Aegean sea smoothly meets Mediterranean sea in high tide (you can see the water mixin') and let a limb of sand in low tide.
The sight of the Turkey coastline from the beaches of Kallithea, Rodos city etc., with a smooth breeze, sunshine and the blue crystal of the sea and last but not least listening the song "Sure know something" from the "Kiss".

Take a day trip by boat
by jayhawk2000
Dozens of excursion boats and island ferries are at your disposal from Rhodes Town's harbours. Smaller vessels like the sleek 'dolphin' to Symi sail from the walled Mandraki Harbour, whilst the lumbering long-distance catamarans, ferries and cruise ships dock at the Kolona and Commercial harbours.
Travel agents and ticket touts set up shop at tables along the harbourside, especially at the more scenic Mandraki harbour, enticing you on board for excursions out to sea. Symi is a popular daytrip, as is Turkey, or you may want to sail around Rhodes Island itself and travel to somewhere like Lindos by water. Most of these take all day and sometimes require an early start. When travelling to Turkey you may need to register your passport with the boat's rep the night before, so it all takes a bit of forethought to plan an outing.
It's an hour by catamaran to Marmaris and you can read more about our daytrip there on my Marmaris page. We sailed with Sea Dreams and though they had a table set up at Mandraki Harbour, their vessel departed from the Commercial Harbour. All will be explained when you book, don't worry!
Temple of Aphridite
by Myfanwe
Just inside the Liberty Gate, at Platia Simis you will find the remains of a Temple of Aphridite. The Temple dates from the 3rd Century BC. The intricately carved pillars and stonework that remain give an idea of how lavish the Temple must have been in its' time.
The Remains of the Temple are in the open air and can be viewed for free. There is a great information board nearby giving an impression of what the Temple used to look like.
