Rhodes sights & natural marvels
The top 6 must-see
Rhodes, a gem of the Aegean Sea, presents a tapestry of natural wonders and historic attractions that beckon visitors from all walks of life.
Speaking of historic attractions, Rhodes is one of the destinations that can boast hosting one of the Seven Wonders of The Ancient World. Yet however impressive man-made marvels may be, it is nature’s constructs that truly take your breath away.
Whether you’re a family seeking adventure and learning or a couple in pursuit of romance and tranquil beauty, there are six must-visit natural marvels & Rhodes sights to check out. Let’s take a look at each.
- Valley of the Butterflies: This natural reserve transforms on an annual basis between June and September into a kind of mystical place where thousands of multi-colored butterflies are suspended in mid-air. A great place for peaceful exploration and family discovery. Couples will find the tranquil paths and gentle streams a perfect setting for romantic strolls.
- Seven Springs (Epta Piges): A pleasant respite from the high summer temperatures, the Seven Springs is ideal for cool, shaded walks in dense woodland and open glades with babbling streams—perfect for family picnics and explorations. The area has a hidden lake reached by a narrow tunnel and is perfect for couples seeking an adventure.
- Prasonisi Beach: At the very point where the Aegean meets the Mediterranean, one may witness a peculiar natural phenomenon of twin beaches. Prasonisi is one of Rhodes’ sights that is particularly famous among windsurfers and kitesurfers so if your family loves water sports, this is a top spot. Couples can also enjoy the neon-bright waters and the lovely sunset together. Interested in more of the island’s coastal charm? Read about some of the other top beaches in Rhodes island.
- Kallithea Springs: Thermal waters and picturesque Italian buildings make Kallithea Springs a composition of natural beauty along with age-old, antique architectural charm. The site is perfect for inquisitive families because the clear and shallow waters expose many mysterious and interesting structures. Couples get to experience it from a romantic prism, swept away by the setting: the picturesque views, the landscaping and the structures together create a sweet, wistful setting – as if out of a movie.
- Acropolis of Lindos: The massive rocky hill high upon which hovers the Lindos Acropolis commands incredible scenery and a peek into the far, far past, circa 10th century BC. Reaching the peak, it is no wonder the ancient settlers built the island’s most emblematic temple there – the disarming panoramic views fill your soul with a deep reverence. Both an educational adventure for families and a scenic backdrop for couples, this is among the Rhodes sights where the sunset is truly magnificent.
- Monolithos Castle: Perched high on the rocks, the ruins of Monolithos Castle scream tranquillity while offering the most amazing 360 views of the surrounding landscapes and the sea. The combination of the striking location and the castle remains nestled into the cliff landscape is sure to captivate the imaginations of both children and adults.
The above-mentioned Rhodes sights combine nature’s diverse beauties with history’s depths, offering a chain of attractions that will satisfy the adventure-seeking spirit of each traveller – from families to couples in search of serene beauty and natural marvel.
