Rhodes Town is all about sightseeing and there is plenty of that to do, the medieval walls of the old town with its winding cobbled streets are spectacular and the Mandraki harbour with its hustle and bustle is not to be missed. Rhodes Town itself does not have its own beach but there are a number of sand/shingle beaches within easy reach of the resort centre. After a hard days exploring (or sunbathing) there's no better place to pick a friendly taverna and tuck into some traditional Greek grub. Or head down to the harbour side, select some fresh fish and watch the commotion of daily life on the seas. Then press on to party central - the aptly named Bar Street - for a night of drinking and dancing.
