Embark on an unforgettable journey to Rhodes, where ancient history blends seamlessly with sun-soaked beaches and turquoise waters. For National Holidays travellers looking for a perfect escape, the Greek Islands such as Rhodes offer a wide range of experiences, just a short flight from home.
Rhodes enchants with its medieval charm and cosmopolitan vibe, making it ideal for those who love a mix of history, culture, and beach life. Stroll through the spectacular UNESCO-listed Old Town, where mosaics of different influences are on display within the double ring of ancient city walls, resulting in a tangle of storied lanes dotted with relics of the Classical, Ottoman and Italian eras.
Learn about tales of the island’s past such as the siege of Suleiman the Magnificent and the knights of Saint John, a religious and military order who once played a crucial role on Rhodes.
