Drinks & Nightlife
Close to the apartment, this iconic street is famous for the wild lifestyle it provides - be warned though, it is exclusively frequented by tourists and (mostly) drunk at that.

Rodini Park has probably been the first landscaped park in the world. It was still popular with the Romans who even enriched the features of the complex with an aqueduct. The park has been arranged along a natural stream. This is an ideal environment for the peacocks which live and breed freely in the park. It's a pleasure to come here, to get a respite from the heat of the day. Enjoy the cool walkway leading along the bank of the stream.

Arts & Culture
The Old City of Rhodes with a current population of 6,000 inhabitants is surrounded by medieval walls with seven gates. Now it happens to be a world of tourist shops, restaurants, cafes and museums, more like a Turkish bazaar than any Greek city, but anyone with imagination can't help but be touched by the history of the place where a handful of Knights were the last Christian holdouts in a part of the world that had become completely dominated by Muslims, in particular the Ottoman Turks.

Sightseeing
Mandraki Harbor was once the military port for ancient Rhodes. Today the mouth of the harbor contains male and female deer statues, but in historical times, chains would close off the area. Today, the harbor is home to million-dollar yachts and small boats that take travelers to other nearby islands and some of the beaches in Rhodes.

Kallithea counts four little gem beaches in its ranks, accessible to visitors. In front of the impressive Thermal Spa site you will find the main beach, organized with sunbeds and shades, surrounded by uniquely beautiful natural rocks which make the scenery, combined with the Italian architecture of the monument, truly breathtaking. An idyllic location, which is also accessible by boat, gives the impression that it is the set for an aristocratic movie straight off Roman history. Around the monument and at the feet of the pine forest there are three more beaches, equally stunning. Small family run businesses have given their names to the beaches: Tasos beach, Nikos beach and Oasis beach; they are all organized with sunbeds and canteens and offer different kinds of beach experiences. There are also many spots in the area, with limited access, which are ideal for diving or swimming far from the crowds.
