How to spend the perfect weekend in Rhodes

An itinerary for two days

If you only have two days to discover our island, we have prepared an itinerary for the perfect weekend in Rhodes.

Although it may not be enough to cover everything, spending a weekend in Rhodes will give you more than a taste and a reason to come back. Rhodes, Greece is a fascinating island known for its diverse and rich history, its stunning beaches, its unique blend of gastronomy and its vibrant atmosphere. You can absorb it all with the perfect weekend in Rhodes.

Let’s take a look at the proposed itinerary for Saturday and Sunday, by H Hotels Collection.

Saturday

Being the first day of your luxury holidays to Rhodes, here is how to make it count.

Morning:
Start your day by tucking into a breakfast feast that will give you the energy you need for the first day of your weekend in Rhodes. After that, we propose you kick back for a while, and spend a few hours in the crystalline waters, soaking up the sun rays at the blue-flag-awarded Kiotari beach. Sink your feet into the fine pebbles, order your preferred refreshment and just pause to take it all in. Return to your room for a quick change of clothes and off you go.

Afternoon:
No weekend in Rhodes is complete without visiting its most emblematic landmark: the Medieval city of the Old Town of Rhodes, a UNESCO World Heritage site. As you saunter around its narrow cobblestone streets, admiring all the architecture, you will undoubtedly reach the Palace of the Grand Master. Traverse all its nooks and crannies, take some instagrammable photos and find your favourite spot to enjoy a coffee or lunch. It may be a good idea to read a little bit about Rhodes’ Old town history before visiting.

Don’t miss out on sampling the local delicacies you will find in various artisan shops. Be sure to check out Mandraki harbour in the new town of Rhodes that features St. Nicholas Fortress and the famous Rhodian deer sculpture. It has been said that the mythical, giant statue of the Colossus of Rhodes once stood at the harbour’s entrance. Can you imagine that?

Evening:
After all the visuals you’ve taken in, it’s time to slow down and let it all sink in. So head back to your chosen one of our unique hotels in Rhodes, Greece to relax and enjoy some lavish comfort. Replay the days’ moments with your loved ones while you chill on your balcony or terrace, gazing at the magnificent views. The evening will culminate beautifully with sophisticated dining in Rhodes but before that, there is still some time to treat yourselves a bit more.

You may feel like taking a refreshing dip in the pool, all the better if your suite comes with its own private one. Alternatively, why not go for a wellness boost? Our Spa hotels in Rhodes have ample facilities that guests can use freely such as sauna, indoor pools with hydro jet massage, Jacuzzi and hamam or book yours from a range of treatments and massages that relieve stress, cleanse the body, and calm the mind.

Sunday

Since this is the last day of your weekend in Rhodes, let’s keep it interesting.

Morning:
Once again, fuel up on a hearty breakfast to set your pace for the day. Being located on the eastern shore of South Rhodes makes discovering this part of the island an absolute breeze. You can take your pick from the listed spots if you’re up for an adventure of discovery, however, if you must pick one, Lindos is it. Lindos combines a beach, a charming modern-day fishing village and an astonishing Acropolis clifftop citadel, hovering above it all.

This way you can strike off the number two of Rhodes’ top attractions and get a taste of local village life while you’re at it. Make your way up to the citadel, admire a series of ancient monument remains against a stunning backdrop of panoramic views for the most epic of snapshots.

Afternoon:
Make your way down to explore the village itself and soak up its colorful vibe. Peruse the shops and stores, stop for a coffee or beverage and mingle with the locals. And since Lindos also has a gorgeous beach, a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters is just the thing after all the sauntering around. Spend a while enjoying the sun and sea on the sandy beach of Lindos or grab a quick bite from one of the seaside tavernas before heading back.

Evening:
Return to the lavish comfort of your room to regroup, refresh and relax before conquering the last night of your weekend in Rhodes. Enjoy a delectable dinner at one of our restaurants and then head out to town. Toast to a weekend in Rhodes well-spent at a bar with a view of the illuminated medieval city. Absorb the romantic ambiance, take a leisurely walk through the cobblestone streets and experience the lively nightlife of an ancient fortress town. Stop by a cozy bar for a drink, listen to live music, or join a Greek dancing session even visit the casino if you’re in the mood. The night is your oyster!
