Rhodes excursions

There are tons of awe-inspiring ancient sites on this island, but you'll need a car rental in Rhodes to really get around. Lindos is incredibly picturesque, boasting great attractions like the Acropolis coupled with a fun beach lined by taverns and bars. The ruins at Kamiros are well worth an afternoon off the beach, as is the butterfly-saturated park of Petaloudes.

Best time to visit

There are really just two seasons in Rhodes. Summer runs between April and October, when sunshine is virtually guaranteed and the weather is hot. The rains arrive in November, greening the island and cooling the temperatures. February and March are magnificent months when the land is covered in wildflowers, though with 300 days of sunshine a year, bad weather is rare.

Car rental in Rhodes

Most of the island's roads are nicely paved, making car rental in Rhodes a useful and trouble-free means of exploration. Several respected international car rental firms operate from the airport and Rhodes City, but better rates are usually found online when you compare car hire ahead of your arrival.
