What are your top pics from the island? I'd love to try more local wines when I visit Rhodes

I would say that Muscat White is one of the best wines that I've had and its from Rhodes! I would recommend that you go to a winery and try a few out. Pick your favorite and drink it for dinner that night
 
The climate on this island is great for growing certain grapes, so there are a handful of wineries to chose from. Here's an article with a bit of information about the grapes and it also mentions a few wineries to visit:

 

Questions about Renting a Car in Rhodes?

I'm planning a trip to Rhodes and considering renting a car to explore the island. I've heard mixed reviews about car rental experiences in different travel destinations, so I wanted to get some firsthand advice from this community.

Here are a few questions I have:

  1. Best Rental Agencies: Which car rental companies would you recommend in Rhodes? Are there any local agencies that offer better deals or service than the international chains?
  2. Pricing: What should I expect in terms of daily rental rates? Are there any hidden fees I should be aware of?
  3. Driving Conditions: How are the road conditions in Rhodes? Is it easy to navigate for someone not familiar with the area?
  4. Insurance: What kind of insurance coverage is advisable? Is it better to get additional insurance from the rental company or rely on my credit card coverage?
  5. Booking: Is it better to book in advance online or can I get better deals by renting on arrival?
Any tips, experiences, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Nightlife in Rhodes - Faliraki

I have some friends who went to Rhodes last year and they said they observed that Faliraki has some good nightlife. Is this true?

Could anyone share some insider tips or personal experiences about the best spots to enjoy the evening?

Specifically, I’m looking for:
  • Clubs that have a great atmosphere and awesome music.
  • Bars or pubs where I can meet new people and have some good conversation.
  • Any places known for live music or unique entertainment.
I will only be there for a few days and I might only have a night to spend doing that kind of thing before I move on to another part of Greece. Trying to see a lot this time.

Question about visiting art galleries on Rhodes

I'm planning a trip to the island of Rhodes and I love art. I'm on a quest to uncover the most remarkable galleries the island has to offer. The blend of ancient history and local modern talent in Rhodes fascinates me, and I want to immerse myself in its vibrant art scene.

Whether it's contemporary art, classic pieces, local crafts, or even lesser-known galleries that captivate the essence of Rhodes, I'm eager to explore it all. I believe that art has a unique way of capturing the spirit of a place, telling stories that transcend time and language barriers.

Does any of you have anything to recommend?

Traveling with a history buff to Rhodes

I am traveling with someone who lives history to Rhodes. Specifically, Medieval history (to the crusades).

I understand that Rhodes was a main player in this time period? Here are a few things on my list to visit. Did I miss anything?
  1. The Palace of the Grand Master: Standing majestically in the heart of Rhodes Old Town, this palace is one of the most striking reminders of the Knights' presence. It's said to be restored in the 20th century. I'm particularly interested in its history and the exhibitions hosted inside.
  2. Street of the Knights (Ippoton Street): Possibly one of the best-preserved medieval streets in the world. Walking down this street, lined with the inns once used by knights of different languages and origins, seems like a walk back in time. Any specific inns or details I should look out for?
  3. The Hospital of the Knights: Now housing the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes, it seems like a place rich in history. I'm curious about the exhibitions there and any pieces that are a must-see.
  4. The Fortifications: The walls and gates around Rhodes Old Town are a testament to the knights' engineering prowess. Is there a particular section or gate that offers a unique perspective or history?
  5. Rodini Park: A bit off the beaten path in terms of knightly history, but I've read that it's one of the world's oldest parks and was appreciated even during the era of the knights. Any historical remnants here connected to the knights?
