A fusion of natural beauty, history and modern luxury
Rhodes is the largest island of the Dodecanese group and one of the most historical ones in
Greece. As showcased by the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven World Wonders,
throughout ancient times, it was believed to belong to Helios, the God of the Sun and that for
good reason: with more than 300 days of sunshine a year and over 250 kilometers of
coastline, this island must have a divine blessing. It is easily accessible by plane and its
international airport is often connected directly to many European cities. Alternatively, you
can arrive by boat passing by a variety of Aegean islands.
The natural beauty of the island and the monuments from its long and often turbulent history,
combine a lively present with a rich historical past. It offers a great variety of cultural and sports
activities. If you are into sports, enjoy sailing, scuba diving and certainly windsurfing, but also
golf or tennis. If you are eager to explore the island’s curiosities visit the Valley of Butterflies – a
place where during July and August you will be charmed by thousands of butterflies!
Alternatively, have us organize you a daytrip to Symi island on a private boat or combine a
visit to the ancient Acropolis of Lindos with an unforgettable culinary journey to Mavrikos, the
awarded family restaurant.
The island’s capital lies outside and within the walls of a very well preserved Venetian castle,
built by the Knights of Saint John. UNESCO has declared this famous Old Town with its great
palace and massive protective walls a World Heritage Site, especially because of the fact that
it is still being inhabited. It is not a monument but a very lively part of the city. Have your private
guide take you back in time through the alleys of the castle and unwind later on in one of its
many restaurants and bars.
With such a vast coastline, Rhodes also offers a great assortment of beaches. No matter the
constellation of your group, if you are in the mood to leave the haven of your luxury villa to
explore the coasts you will definitely find the one beach that suits your lifestyle: select among
the fabulous, large sandy beaches on the east and south (which are a treat for families with
children), the windsurfing beaches like Prassonisi on the southern tip, the party beaches like
Faliraki and Rhodes Town and the almost forgotten rocky beaches on the northwestern coast.
