This place is so neat! Tickets are 20Euro or about $23 USD. Get there as early as you can, it gets crowded fast. Amazing restored rooms and furniture and so much to learn and see. It is an impressive building and beautifully decorated. There is a wonderful museum at the end to view as well.

I went on the castle walls and honestly for 5 euro it was a lot of fun! It's a nice walk and you get a nice view of the town. I will say that there are no benches or shade so it can be intense in the heat so ensure you have water.

Not just a medieval palace, a real voyage in time. We visited the Palace of the Grand Master on a Sunday morning and it seems like we got there before the crowds. We had plenty of time to visit every room and also the opportunity to snap a lot of pictures without too many people around. First things first, the Palace is in pristine condition. I was expecting a nice place but this visit totally blew our minds. It's big, and I mean BIG. Lots of history, stunning architecture, and even more. There are a few places you visit where you feel like words aren't enough to describe, this is one of them. It seems like every room we visited brought a new dimension to the history of the place and wowed us with mosaics, furniture, views or just absolute grandeur. We were lucky enough to visit during a museum day so we got the chance to visit for free, but to be honest, it's totally worth the regular price ice of admission. Take the time to stop by the windows and take a look outside, views are amazing at almost all of them.

A magical place full of history and beauty! I absolutely loved the stunning architecture of the Palace of the Grand Master — as soon as I walked in, it felt like stepping into a Disney movie! Every artifact inside the museum is so well preserved, and the royal rooms are simply beautiful. The atmosphere takes you back in time, letting you imagine the life of the knights who once lived here. The ticket was €20, but it was totally worth it. A must-visit when in Rhodes!

Fantastic - really worth a visit. The architecture of the Palace is wonderful. All of the artifacts inside the museum are well preserved, and the various rooms are terrific to see. It was not overly busy when we went and the tickets were ~€20, but worth it.

Its.very interesting.destinations and full. History in every wall.or street of Rhodes Island. Its quiet amazing to see all those.wall still standing from the past 200 or.500.years passed by .u can still recall how.this.city in period of ancient ruler and invaders. Amazinh artifacts from all.meseum we see. Such a treasure.of history👍👍👍👍 Overall we enjoy the visit🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

In October there wasn't a queue. Its beautiful and have most original items saved, apart from changing some floors. We were lucky to go on a public holiday so entry was free.

I had an amazing time! It's so beautiful and the kitties are so cute. The only issue is that a lot of the shops are almost identical but I do enjoy the tacky tourist vibe. Make sure you look around at prices to get the best price for things like shot glasses, magnets and drinks like the beer boot. I went late September and it was most busy usually afternoon when the heat dies down a bit.

Absolutely beautiful city, situated on island and sounded by a old wall, it's so charming, fully packed with tourists, and full of shopping streets and restaurant, where you can find lots of good options. Little bit hot in the month of September as I visited today, old streets and monuments gives you very traditional vibe, at the same time you have so many luxury fashion shops make it true blend of traditional and modern blend.

A 'must visit'. Split into a Greek quarter, Jewish quarter and Turkish quarter. Busy during the day (cruise ships) and vibrant during the evening. Winding cobbled streets with shops and tavernas everywhere. Main streets can get very busy during the day but it's worth finding the quiet areas such as those 'top left' away from the harbour. Here you will still find gifts/crafts but more shade and a lot more peace & quiet. Well worth finding the Minos Roof Top Cafe/Bar for a fantastic view and some restbite! (See my review and photos.) During the evening the town is tastefully lit with uplighting and street lamps. Go off the beaten track and you will always find a quaint taverna or bar. It's simply beautiful and full of life. To navigate the town, start at the main square (through gate by commercial harbour/car park). The main shopping streets and side streets all lead up to the Islamic spire at the top of the town. Use this to get your bearings. The palace is then up and over to the right. The bus station is also easy to find and here you will also find an umbrella shop with all sorts of designs - well worth a look.

A Beautiful City full of medieval charm, a network of idyllic winding streets. Friendly, hospitable people. History and culture combine with Cosmopolitan style. One of my favourite places in the world. And the food (Gyros) from Mama Sofia's was excellent 👌

Such a beautiful well maintained site of extremely significant historical buildings. You can literally feel the history and stories seeping out of the walls. Very highly recommended you visit and allow a couple of hours to truly immerse yourself.

Beautiful!! The historic building in Rhodes was just incredible. So much history, so much beautiful architectural structure. So nice to see how popular it is and that it has so much history and meaning to the people.in Rhodes. You will not be disappointed

I absolutely loved visiting the Medieval City of Rhodes! Walking through its cobbled streets felt like stepping into another era. The atmosphere is magical, with so much history all around, yet it’s alive with shops, cafés, bars and restaurants. It’s the perfect place to wander, explore, and just soak up the beauty and charm.

Great place to visit while on Rhodes. There are beautiful wives all around, the ticket costs 3 euro. There is also beautiful bay that you can swim and dive. The best tip I can give you is to take a diving stuff and use it to see the underwater environment.

Kallithea Springs is a beautiful place to visit. If you are in Faliraki it's only few bus stops ahead. Very beautiful view to the sea, nicely done gardens and lovely bay surrounded by bar, sunbeds and so on. Entrance is affordable. It is valuable as a short visit too. However many people stay for a full day. All facilities in place: toilets, changing cabins, restaurant and sunbeds. However prices to rent a sunbeds are €30 per day. You can avoid the rent by settling in at the mini beach of the bay.

If you sit at the restaurant, you don’t have to pay for lounge chairs. The lounge chair is very in price based on the distance from the water. first line is €50. Best to go in the morning as it gets very crowded and the afternoon. this place has a vibe and great music coming from the restaurant.

This was a surprising visit near our hotel. Beautifully kept, great views (especially for influencers looking for a great photo location) and a seemingly nice located bar/restaurant, though we didn't get to try it. Definitely a must see if your in the area

Kallithea Springs is a nice place to look around, with beautifully maintained grounds and scenic surroundings. While it’s not particularly exciting or full of things to do, it does have a certain charm and could be a lovely spot for weddings or events. We climbed the nearby cliff rocks and were rewarded with some amazing views of the coastline. Overall, it’s a pleasant area to visit, but not especially spectacular.

Entrance fee: €5. (Free in the evening.) Free parking. All-day beach access. Kebab next to the parking lot. We were here on September 18th, the weather was excellent.

5€/adult and free for kids up to 12 y.o. Free for everyone after 20:00. Arrived almost at noon and managed to find parking spot, but there were only few spots left. Beautiful bay and building to enjoy breeze and shadow in hot day. For swimming and sunbathing this is an odd place, because even sun-beds are pricey there is no privacy, tourist and just passer by visitor are walking around everywhere(I was one of those tourists), therefore for some relaxing and more private setting i would recommend a different place. Cost are next level here, other comments stated sun-bend and restaurant prices.

When it comes to nature on Rhodes, this is indeed an interesting valley. The trail consists of two stages: you walk through a gorge among trees and shrubs, along a stream, with the occasional small waterfall or pond. Wooden footbridges, benches to rest on, and the occasional butterfly create a pleasant atmosphere. However, the path goes uphill, with plenty of stone steps, so in 40°C heat (we had 49°C that day – we wanted to cool down) this activity is not for everyone. At the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of the trail, there are toilet facilities (they cost €0.50 – a bit of a pity that it’s not free when you eat in the restaurant or in the park), restaurants, and rest areas. We had a coffee, and it was okay. In August 2025, the entrance fee is €6. You walk uphill in a crowd, on a stone path, and “admire” the charms of the valley. In my opinion, those charms are rather average. The price is adequate for the attraction. Worth a visit, but it’s not on the TOP list for Rhodes.

Beautiful valley in the heart of Rhodes hills. I would recommend an early start to beat the crowds and cars that arrive mid morning. The walk is about 1 hour to 1 hour 30 round trip if you take it easy. Most of the butterflies are in the upper valley, take an information leaflet when you pay your 6€ (Sept 2025) entrance fee to read the short write up on the valley. Would recommend trainers or likes for footwear as paths are cobbles and uneven in places. Worth a early morning trip

We visited the Valley of the Butterflies at the end of October. Be aware: the famous butterflies are gone for the season. Instead, we spotted many crabs in the streams! The major upside was the weather—no intense heat, making the beautiful hike very enjoyable. It is a stunningly green and tranquil location, highly recommended for a peaceful walk, even if you miss the main spectacle.

review: ⸻ Butterfly Valley, Rhodes – A Peaceful Escape into Nature Butterfly Valley is truly a unique and magical place to visit in Rhodes. The scenery is absolutely stunning, with lush greenery and a calm, peaceful atmosphere that feels like a different world. During my visit, a wild goat passed by and set off a cloud of butterflies – such an unforgettable sight! The trails are pleasant, but I would strongly recommend wearing proper shoes as the paths are not suitable for flip-flops. You’ll enjoy the walk much more with comfortable footwear. It’s a great spot to relax, enjoy nature, and take some wonderful photos. If you’re visiting Rhodes and love serene, natural places, this should definitely be on your list!

Butterfly Valley is a truly unique experience — walking through the shaded paths surrounded by lush greenery and hearing the gentle sound of running water feels like stepping into another world. The sight of thousands of butterflies resting on the trees is absolutely breathtaking and something you don’t see every day. The walk is easy and suitable for families, with spots to rest along the way. The fresh air and natural beauty make it a perfect break from the busy tourist spots. Staff are friendly and keep the area well maintained. Tip: Visit in the morning for a quieter experience and wear comfortable shoes for the paths. Highly recommended for nature lovers and photographers!

Been here 10 years ago (to a different part) it was lovely and relaxing then, it seems to have become much more commercial with several car parks and costly snack bar. Car parking is far away and there is no accessibility - we had to walk down a long, dangerous (steep road on a blind bend) to get to the entrance - so hectic with cars and people! cost was 18 euros for 3 of us, it’s all steep slippery steps so you need to be very fit and in trainers with good grip. Saw some small frogs and loads of moths right at the end of the season (early September).

We were in the butterfly valley on September 18th and luckily we saw a lot of butterflies. They are orange in flight, and after landing, their wings are brown and white. There were many visitors, the entrance fee was 6 €. I highly recommend it!

We came here after seeing it being recommended on TikTok, the service was pretty slow and it took a while for anybody to approach us to take our orders and a while for our drinks/starters to arrive however once the main course came this made up for the slower service completely! Absolutely phenomenal food and I recommend for this basis! The live Greek singers every night really adds to the excellent setting.

We visited as part of an excursion with our cruise. Romeos is lovely. You eat outside under a giant shade tree. I imagine at night it is particularly lovely with the lights strung. We did not choose from the menu, but thoroughly enjoyed what was provided. We started with bread with 4 different spreads, all different colors and flavors. Bottled water and white wine was provided. The wine was on the dryer side and reminded me of a reisling. We then had a salad of tomatoes, cucumber, green peppers, red onions and olives topped with olive oil. Our main course was a vegetable stew (we had the vegetarian option). It has root vegetables, eggplant, peppers and onions. It was delicious. Dessert was an orange cake drenched in a light syrup. We enjoyed the whole meal. The staff were very efficient and kindly accommodated our dietary requirements. The women's restrooms are upstairs to the right and the men's is upstairs to the left.

Fantastic spot! After reading some great reviews, we decided to try this place for dinner and we weren’t disappointed! I had the Diavola pizza, which was fluffy, light, and absolutely delicious. You could tell they take their pizza seriously, especially seeing the proper pizza oven on the way in. My other half went for the prawn linguine, which was perfectly saucy with a fantastic fresh fish flavor. The service was also amazing, and they had live music which made for a fantastic atmosphere. We would highly recommend this spot and will definitely be coming back!

This was recommended to us by the night manager for live greek music and authentic food and dear God was he spot on. The food was fresh, very good portion size, attentive staff a live band, and even some plate smashing. If in Rhodes town or are visiting the area youd be missing out if this isn't the one restaurant you indulge in.

Tourist trap Bad service. Brought starter together with main dish. Let us wait for order of food 15 minutes. No small gestrure at the end- no sweets no drinks no melon- far below island standards. Bad vives. The ovtopus was half portion- overpriced Fiid quality low average

They break plates! I’ve been to Greek islands dozens of times and I’ve never seen that. But last night when the locals started dancing…. Besides that, the live music is fantastic, joyful, upbeat and fun. We didn’t want to leave. And, if you think this might mean the food isn’t good…you’d be wrong. Best gigantes in town. They even have a bit of spice to them. The vegetarians were very happy. And the meat eaters loved the squid and gyro plates. I’ve been to Rhodes four times, and this is the place I crave when I get here. Reservations aren’t required but if you want the table next to the musicians, book ahead. Go here!

The atmosphere is excellent with live music that makes it really entertaining. The food was very delicious. The staff were attentive and friendly, and the service was fast — we didn’t wait long. For Turkish visitors, there’s a Turkish menu and Turkish-speaking staff. With Turkish songs playing as well, this is definitely a must-visit taverna in Rhodes.

We'vere there every evening of our stay the food was so good! The staff were amazing and friendly. Definitely recommend it! They also have lunch menu which was also great. It is a must try! Ps. The staff speak good English, for Hungarians one of the waiters speaks good Hungarian as well.

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant in Rhodes Old Town. The food was very delicious and everything was served quickly. The staff were attentive and friendly, and even the gentleman who kindly took our photo was incredibly nice. Definitely a place worth visiting if you’re in Rhodes!

What a lovely little hidden gem this is! The hosts are very talented and bilingual. The setting is beautiful and the vibe is very calming. Food is absolutely lovely and the menu is large. You even get treated to a little bit of cake at the end which was very tasty! All in all great experience - thank you!

We unexpectedly found this restaurant. It is absolutely great food and a great atmosphere compared to other restaurants on some main streets where many people walk by. Great service! Homemade wine and Mixed grill plate were 10 out of 10! Highly recommended! ОЧЕНЬ ТИХОЕ УЮТНОЕ МЕСТО. ВКУСНАЯ ЕДА. РЕКОМЕНДУЮ!

Great service, nice authentic greek food. Even suitable for vegetarians and vegans, there's an extra menu, just ask for it. I had pita bread, hummus, stuffed vine leaves and eggplant salad. It was very tasty and the price was also okay.

The restaurant is amazing, the staff is really friendly and the food is so delicious. We had a wonderful time and we will come back for sure. Waiter Hristos was really friendly and attentive!!! All the best

What a wonderfully cozy restaurant. We had a delicious meal and thoroughly enjoyed the super friendly atmosphere. The incredibly hospitable host George creates a fantastic vibe, and the rest of the staff were also very friendly and excellent at their jobs. It was truly a joy to dine here. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Rhodes Town.

Fantastic is an understatement. First class food for every course. Best meal we’ve had in a long time. Worth every penny. If you want top quality food, service and ambience, look no further.

We visited Restaurant Wonder twice during the week because of the exceptional food and the friendliness of the staff. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavour, with a great mix of Mediterranean and creative options. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere relaxed yet elegant. The restaurant offers a lovely combination of outdoor courtyard dining or, if the weather turns, comfortable indoor seating. Quite simply, the best food we’ve had while in Rhodes, both on this visit and on previous trips to the island. Highly recommend.

We went for a family meal at the Wonder Restaurant and the staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was amazing. We have Fillet Mignon, salmon, Thai chicken, seafood soup and BBQ ribs as main courses and everyone said the food was delicious and tasty. We ordered local oak aged white wine based on a recommendation and it was great too. We will be going back!

We had delicious dinner at Wonder. The staff was quite stressed since there were many people, but they managed everything well.

A Hidden Gem in Rhodes. Truly Exceptional! We had dinner here last night with five friends, four of whom have years of experience in the hospitality industry and we were all genuinely impressed. Every single aspect of this restaurant was fantastic. Everything is homemade, and you can truly taste the love and care in every dish. The flavors were fresh, authentic, and beautifully balanced. It’s clear that quality and craft come first here. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. They took their time with us, were honest and sincere, and made us feel right at home. The owner herself came to the table with a big smile and so much passion. You could tell she puts her heart into everything she does. The ambiance is cozy and charming, like dining in someone’s beautiful backyard. Without a doubt one of the best dining experiences we’ve had on Rhodes!

As i visit Wonder restaurant often it offers a truly sublime gourmet experience, where each exquisitely crafted dish is a masterpiece of flavor and artistic presentation, designed to capt captivate the senses. This culinary journey unfolds within a remarkably tranquil oasis, providing a sophisticated escape from the city's relentless pace. Soft, ambient lighting and sumptuously comfortable seating create an atmosphere of profound relaxation, inviting guests to unwind and savor every moment as the vibrant energy of the metropolis of Rhodes Town phums gently below. It is here that the innovative spirit of gourmet dining perfectly merges with an unparalleled sense of urban calm, transforming a meal into an unforgettable, serene indulgence.

Our best meal in Rhodes. Feels like a real Greek experience. We wanted to go back a second night but didn’t have time!

Very nice Ambiente and Service, good wine and the food was very delicious! Great Place for a Dinner next to the Sea

This place does not live up to its high rating (4.7). To begin with, the service wasn’t the nicest and definitely not professional. The food itself- the ravioli felt store bought in both of the different dishes we took. The fish was excellent but the sides were quite tasteless - boiled vegetables with no seasoning. The highlight of the meal was definitely the delicious steak. Perfectly cooked, soft and absolutely delicious. Would come again simply for that. The lamb was cooked to perfection as well. For dessert we took the baklava which was a cold, less fresh version of what we got in our hotel the night before - I wouldn’t be surprised if they take it from there. (Paladium) The waiters kept taking my friend plate while she was still eating, and it was a very unpleasant experience. Overall, the place is very beautiful and the meat is very good. The service and the rest of the dishes were lacking.

An unforgettable experience! The Greek dishes were full of flavor, and the pasta was beyond delicious. The chef is absolutely top — every plate feels like a masterpiece. The service was outstanding as well: warm, attentive, and truly unmatched. A perfect spot where amazing cuisine meets exceptional hospitality!

Everything you could ask from a restaurant during your vacation. Service is top notch. Food is delicious and the location is amazing. Some live music and the evening is set. We enjoyed our stay very much

They accepted us in the restaurant without a reservation. The restaurant is next to the beach separate from the hotel. The atmosphere was fantastic. It was fancy but still very cozy. The staff were friendly and very professional. They would refill our wine and water whenever it was needed. We had a 3 course meal. The dishes we ordered had a few simple ingredients, but the taste and plating was top tier. The highlight of our dinner as a greek person, visiting Rodos for the first time with my foreign boyfriend was the dessert. It was petit fours of traditional greek desserts. He had a chance to try different desserts in 1 plate and I felt a bit nostalgia tasting them. The price was maybe a bit more expensive but totally worth it!

Best restaurant near our hotel (Elysium). So much so we came here twice. Great food, great service and great decor. Well worth a visit if you’re nearby, even if you’re not staying at their hotel. Can easily be accessed via the beach, so don’t do what we did and walk down the road only to have to go through the hotel.

Beautiful place, I wish the food was the same. The food was great looking but lacking some taste. Not enough salt in most of the dishes. The meat was great, if you come here you should order meat.

Definitely worth a visit if you're in Rhodes.Not far from the main 95 road, Rhodes town to Lindos. The tunnel was interesting. Remember to take your shoes with you as you can’t U turn and it’s approximately 400 metres.The waterfall is actually a man made dam and don’t expect to see much flowing over it in the height of summer. Be careful in the 7 springs walk as you can easily get lost. It’s a fair uphill hike so make sure you have water. There’s next to no signage at all so wandering is only for those with a good sense of direction. A good cafe close to the far size car parks. Reasonable price for drinks and donuts. Toilets on site that are free and so is entry.Definitely a different experience!

Well this is a lovely spot in nature and the tunnel is definitely cool and worth walking through. If you're a bit nervous about the dark, use the light on your phone. The passage is quite low and narrow, so if you're claustrophobic, it's time to face your fears or give it a miss. The water is refreshing and maybe 8 inches deep. Can be done in bare feet or flip flops. At tge end of the tunnel is the dam and lake (or large puddle). As others have said its a nice few hours in nature with the peacocks and ducks. The seven springs themselves are beside the restaurant. I only had a cool drink, but the food coming out to others looked very good and people seemed to be enjoying it. I only gave 4 stars as there was no water going over the dam. As a side there were lots of children enjoying themselves.

This is everything you will see there, plus a couple of dozen of peacocks. It is solely promoted for the restaurant there. I gave 1 star because we went to see an actual spring, lake, tunnel etc but the photos will be all of those you see. And some hiking routes. You can have a really nice lunch or dinner in a forest environment in the restaurant there, but seven springs is a pure promotion material to attract tourists to come there and meanwhile have a meal at the restaurant. We regretted losing half an hour there trying to find an actual spring or lake, instead of continuing straight to Zeus temple ruins..

We took the bus from Rhodes Town, and the ride was over 1.5 hours, a bit tiring. You can’t buy a return ticket at the stop, and buses aren’t very frequent, so plan ahead. Once there, the nature is nice, but to be honest, not much more than that. It’s a good spot if you enjoy peaceful walks through the forest, but don’t expect anything too spectacular. Worth a visit only if you really want a nature break.

Many people look for the dam in the wrong place because there are no clear signs. If you google “Seven Springs Dam,” you’ll find it. The wooded area behind the restaurant, near the “springs,” is actually quite dangerous. The paths run along steep cliffs and can be slippery. The tunnel leading from the restaurant/springs to the lake and dam is an exciting experience.

Nice bit of nature, plenty of trees and water. Good to sit and chill out for a bit. Worth it just for the tunnel walk to the lake. Long pitch black tunnel with cold water running through. It's low and narrow so be prepared to crouch down a bit if you are over about 5ft 10. Free to go, gift shop and a restaurant. I will let the photos say the rest.

Superb place hidden in the middle of Rhodes island. There are a few fresh water springs, a lake an amazing little artificial waterfall. No entrance fee or parking fee. Just go and enjoy the sights for no cost at all. The amazing thing is that there is a restaurant( Greek taverna) and there are peacocks everywhere even besides the tables. We also saw baby peacocks.

A pebble beach with crystal-clear water. The sunbed and umbrella fee is €10 for one person and €15 for two. For those who prefer not to pay, there are some shaded areas available for free use. There are also nice places nearby for food and drinks.

My experience at Traganou Beach was nothing short of amazing! The beach has pebbles, but they’re small they don’t bother you at all—just bring water shoes if you’re extra sensitive. The water is crystal clear, perfect for swimming and snorkeling around the nearby caves and rock formations (don’t miss exploring them!). The vibe here is pure chillaxation—no crowds, just serene beauty. A pair of sunbeds and a parasol cost only €15. Getting here is easy too: take the bus, and it’s just a 10-minute walk from the stop. The Traganou Taverna nearby serves delicious, affordable food—the perfect post-beach feast or to grab an ice cold beer or a coffee. They have a great barisrta. Hands down, this was the best beach day of my life! Highly recommend for anyone visiting Rhodes. 💙

Traganou Beach, located just south of Faliraki, is a spacious, pebbly-sandy beach with a peaceful, relaxed vibe. What I really liked is that the sunbeds are spread out, so everyone has plenty of space — unlike many other, more crowded beaches. This beach is far from tourist hotspots, and feels more secluded and natural. There are two beach bars where you can get drinks (can’t say much about the food, as I didn’t try it). The sunbed prices are reasonable, lower than at most other beaches on the island. It’s mostly visited by locals, which adds to its laid-back charm. When I visited, it was a bit windy, but the wind didn’t bother me — the water was crystal clear. One thing to note: the sea gets deep very quickly, so it’s not ideal for small children or non-swimmers. The left side of the beach, where the large rock formations are, is absolutely stunning — magical, almost surreal scenery. Next time I visit, I’ll definitely head straight to that part, especially since it’s near the popular caves. If you’re looking for a beach that feels more untouched and local, Traganou Beach is a hidden gem.

Filthy water. Used to be the best beach on the island but for the past several years the sea has been polluted with garbage. The water is now at the point of not being swimmable. Such a shame, the water used to be beautiful and crystal clear.

It is really nice and clean side of island, beach is clean and nice for relaxing 😌, beach is not sand but it is nice small stones and it is possible to enter the sea without water shoes

Fabulous, big beach with amazing caves and clear water ☀️

Has to be my favourite beach in Rhodes. Went late afternoon, it was truly quiet, love that the shore has pebbles and not sand (which ofcourse could be uncomfortable to walk in). The road leading down is quite steep. Parking: free Sunbeds & umbrella: 20€ Considering the time I went, didn’t have to pay as there were so many empty beds. For those wanting to swim, the beach is quite steep and there’s a sudden drop. There’re also restaurants around to buy snacks , coffee and food.

A place cared for by love and care for sea animals, the owner takes care of rescues, which he himself rescues from nets. Nurses them back to health and then releases them. It's a small and short experience (under an hour), but worth checking out. I have visited many aquariums in my life- and was still surprised to see fish I have never seen before! There are many local species to see also. Overall a nice and loving experience- no wait, AC, and cosy. The fish have all special decorations and the place is nicely painted.

Lovely little Aquarium that helps and rescues sick marine life. Guy really friendly and my daughter loved it that much we visited every other day. Really well priced as well €8 for adult and €5 for kids, definitely worth a visit.

Highly recommend a visit! The work done by Theo here is amazing. You could see he really cared about all sea life and preserving it for as long as possible. It was small aquarium but made a massive difference. There was an octopus, turtle and other fishes I had never seen before. Keep up the amazing work

A very pleasant experience, the rescuer is an amazing person that does a very important job of trying to rehabilitate the poor animals cought in nets by uncaring individuals. He also jumped to help when he heard we saw a sick cat at the resort we're staying at. The world needs more people like him. The place is worth your visit, there is virtually no wait time, the animals are actually cared for unlike other aquariums I've visited, it's a nice cool break from the heat of the day. There are also many minerals to see and learn about, as well as purchase. As a mineral and crystal enthusiast, this was a nice surprise. Sure you can go on plant of Island activities, but do make time to stop by. It's worth the trip!

Nice little "aquarium"/fish hospital. The man who runs it is very nice and takes good care of the creatures he has. Some really interesting sea creatures to see. We were even able to touch a little sea turtle he had just rescued that morning, which he will then release back to the sea. Very cool.

Lovely little aquarium, ran by 1 man who rescues marine life and nurses them back to health before releasing them. Worth it just to see the small turtle that was rescued

The owner is called Theo and he clearly has a heart of gold as waits every day to rescue any live sealife left for dead by the fisherman in the nets. Just be aware this is a mini aquarium- it's air conditioned and made up of quite a lot of little tanks which are labelled. You can look into a bigger tank and he lets you touch the turtles (if there are any rescues) The turtle in the tank only just started eating independently today after being poorly from being rescued near Lindos. All the sealife is released back into the ocean. He clearly has their interests at heart and tells us that no fish are happy in these tanks. We saw quite a few interesting fish including a few large eels and my daughter loved the glow in the dark fishes and the puffer fish. When you are finished he gives you a little bag with a few shells as a souvenir. Its costs 8 Euros for adults and 5 euros for kids which is a bit steep for what it is however if like me you see it more as an opportunity to donate to a good cause then it seems fair.

Me and my partner came to see and feed the animals, which all looked healthy and happy. The lemur experience was amazing getting to be so close to them and even feed them. The lady who cares for the lemurs was really friendly and very informative about them. The raccoon experience was also amazing getting to feed them and pet them, the carers was also super informative and friendly. The food is all vegetarian and really nice from the cafe along with been reasonable priced and fast service. All in all I would highly recommend visiting.

I just visited Farma Zoo in Rhodes and it was honestly the best zoo experience I’ve ever had! I’ve been to many zoos in different countries, but this one truly stands out. The variety of animals is small – you’ll find donkeys, sheep, raccoons, ducks, lemurs and a few others – but what makes it special is the atmosphere. You can clearly see that the animals are happy, well cared for, and treated with love. The staff are absolutely wonderful – so friendly and passionate about what they do. They even give the animals names, which makes the whole experience feel much more personal and heartwarming. One of the highlights for me was being able to feed the lemurs – such a fun and unique experience! It doesn’t feel like a typical zoo, but more like a place where animals and people connect in the right way. I left with such a positive feeling and so many great memories.

A Must-Visit, it felt like a truly hands-on adventure. The animals are friendly, well-cared for, and seem happy to engage with visitors. It’s perfect for families, couples, or anyone who loves animals. If you are in Rhodes, make sure this is on your itinerary. You won't be disappointed! Highly Recommended!

Small zoo but with variety of healthy animals, featured with possibility to feed them (you can buy specialised food, 2 E per portion). The main attraction is a supervised visit to lemurs - and you will get interesting info about them (spoiler: king Julian does not exist!). There is a cafe (brave enough to try ostrich omlette?) and a souvenir shop with cute and unique items (like painted ostrich egg).

🌿 A Truly Magical Experience at the Farm Petting Zoo in Rhodes 🐐 Visiting this petting zoo was an unforgettable experience! There are very few places in the world where you can get so close to animals—petting them, feeding them, and learning about their lives in such a hands-on, respectful way. The staff are simply wonderful. You can feel their deep love for the animals in everything they do. They take the time to explain each animal’s story, habits, and personality with such care and enthusiasm. It’s clear this isn’t just a job to them—it’s a passion. Whether you’re traveling with kids or just want to reconnect with nature, this place offers something truly special. I left with a full heart and a huge smile. Highly recommended!

What a stellar experience and such a unique concept! They really seem to care about the animals and they seem happy, which is important for a place like this. The fact that you can hang out and pet most of the animals there is amazing. The experience with the lemurs is undoubtedly the highlight of the whole thing!

We went here on October 24th. It was an amazing experience, especially the Lemurs. We got to go in their enclosure and give them some food. They jumped on us and cuddled with us. Their 'mama' told us that sometimes the lemurs do have a little siesta, and that at those times, the interactive part is closed. So keep that in mind! The rest of the animals were also very cuddly and food motivated! I was wearing a very flowy skirt, which got nibbled on by a goat. Some of the enclosures looked a little small, but we didn't ask if the animals stay there day and night or if they get moved around.

We came here to drink a cold beer. The owner was nice, we always got delicious peanuts with our beer.😊🍻

The place is on the seaside, with a beautiful view. We went there to have dessert and enjoy a drink. I must say Cactus restaurant didn't disappoint. The chocolate souffle was absolutely delicious, as was the brownie. The staff was nice and our order arrived very quick.

Excellent fresh fish, delicious tzatziki. Nice See view. And good price

Breathtaking views with nice service and great food

Lovely, casual atmosphere and solid food options that aren’t heavy and oily! Perfect spot for a beach lunch. Great aperol spritz!!

Portion were huge, food was tasty and staff was very helpful and friendly. Great location on the beach where you can enjoy last rays of sun in the evening.

Perfect location, cleanest looking restaurant, decent enough very simple (pub) food for a fair price. Good service. 5th star because it has a little section of beach full of toys our 3 year old loved!

Absolutely fantastic taverna! This is a true gem — delicious traditional Greek food, excellent service, and a beautiful view. It’s a well-run family business, and you can feel the warmth and care in everything they do. There’s room here for everything — from cozy dinners for two to large family lunches. The food is fresh and lovingly prepared, with deep, traditional flavors, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Dimitri, his family, and the whole team make you feel right at home. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic and welcoming Greek dining experience. I keep coming back — and for good reason!

A wonderful dinner place - food was great, attentive staff and beautiful view. We absolutely enjoyed our family dinner. Highly reccomend to visit the place!

A very pleasant experience at Mimakos taverna. We were recommended to go there but randomly we found out there was a live show happening on Tuesdays with live music and dancing. You definitely need to pre-book though. The one thing that didn't stand out and not reach our expectations was the food. We had a selection of starters that were not as tasty to our standards. However, the lamb was very tender and tasty and definitely recommend it. My assumption is that due to the heavy load of tables and bookings (probably 150-200 guests at once) they pre-made some of the starters, hence not so great. I'd suggest trying it on a normal day. Excellent and quick service, with waiters being polite and attentive. A very fun night with the help of the musicians and the dancers. Good location with a big parking area available.

Best meal so far in Rhodes - we had a great evening. There was no written menu. Instead, they ask you for your preferences and start bringing dishes from the kitchen. Enjoyed every single bite, plus the staff were all incredibly welcoming. Prices were totally fair too, estimate 20 per person plus drinks.

A tavern next to the road to Faliraki. We got there at around 5 pm for late lunch. The restaurant was almost empty. The card is quite small but the waiter assisted us with the order. He asked us to assamble a meat plate out of our meat preferences (we chose lamb amd chicken) along with 3 appetizers. We got the greek salad, tzatziki and Pitaroudia. They adapt the portion size to the number of guests therefore it was a big portion for 2 people. We paid 46 euros which is a reasonable price with 2 drinks. The service was super quick and nice. Can recommend this place if you want to try some greek traditional food with a great sea view.

Very tasty Greek food — the best we had on Rhodes! Cozy place with kind and friendly staff. We’ll definitely come back 🩷

We had the best night, we met and got talking Stefanos and Raphaella and he told us about his father’s restaurant and that they had a Greek night every Tuesday, he very kindly booked a table for all 11 of us, we were made so welcome, as if we were part of the family, food was amazing and plentiful, the entertainment was really fun and inclusive, the taverna has amazing views, and is family run, you can see how happy all the staff are, which then rubs off on all their guests, we all really did have the best night. We can’t wait to try your families homemade honey, I’m so pleased we met you, you really do have a beautiful family, keep doing what you’re doing, it’s just perfect, Thankyou so much for your kindness, Melanie and Paul x

Great food at great prices, including the house wine.

Quite cheap restaurant, but with little sub average meal quality. Mousaka had some bit too salty, some pasta inside was bit undercooked. Espresso was same quality as twice as expansive in the Rhodos city.

No food but had 7 up. Owner remembered us from 4 years previous. Brilliant. Will be going back for a meal whilst on the island. Went back for lunch and had a large Greek Salad with drink and bread. Lovely atmosphere. Had company of a local cat whilst eating.

Wonderful place to eat and relax. Food is delicious, service extremely nice - so altogether 5/5!!

Beautiful little village restaurant with friendly staff and amazing food Such a little hidden gem and definitely worth a visit if you need a drink lunch or dinner All the food is cooked fresh and tastes absolutely delicious

it is delicious and the price very fair. can highly recommend the fried cheese and the stuffed vegetables. enjoy!

Very delicious food, prices lower than in tourist areas. Highly recommend 💯

Beautiful island, near Turkey coast, very Green northern island. Stunning water. Amazing old Town, full of life.

Rhodes not only is a brilliant island for all things water based but steeped in history with lots to see and do. The old town is incredible, especially if you get past the busy bustling tourist area and explore the side streets. Blessed with many excellent restaurants

One place everyone should have a chance to visit. Beautiful, iconic, historical.

Love Rhodes island. Visited 4 times now and it is beautiful. Stayed in pefkos and lindos. Recommend the butterfly park, 7 springs, Rhodes old town, lindos, and generally just driving around the island and enjoying the stunning views and great food.

For me, this island is the most beautiful in the world; it holds a very special place in my heart. I don’t know maybe I lived here in a past life or something but it truly feels unique. Every year, I always plan to visit it again whenever I can. It’s so interesting, really. It feels like home. I have a deep sense of belonging there. But my advice to tourists is this: please, I kindly ask you, keep the island clean. Throw your trash in the bins and make it your responsibility to leave the environment as pristine as you found it. During my last visit, I was saddened to see how much pollution the island has suffered. It really upset me. This island’s charm lies in its natural beauty that’s why you come here. So, you have to leave it the way you found it when you go. Also, please show respect to the locals of the island.

Rhodes is a beautiful place to relax – perfect for holidays! ☀️ One big plus is how easy it is to find gluten-free options, even in local shops. Greek food is absolutely delicious, and many traditional dishes are naturally gluten-free, so you can enjoy your time here while eating tasty and healthy meals. I truly recommend visiting Rhodes – it’s one of the Greek islands we’ve been to where eating gluten-free and staying healthy was super easy and enjoyable.

There are always big waves on the left side of the island's peak, the right side is quiet, of course, except when there is a strong wind, and until the next day it sets. At the peak, where the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas meet, it is exciting to swim into the water while the waves are still there, and to move towards the right side parallel to the shore, and you will be transferred to the calmer water.

In my opinion, this is the most interesting tourist attraction inside the Rhodes citadel. What makes this museum stand out compared to others of its kind is that it is housed in the former hospital of the Knights Hospitaller, giving it an architecture and atmosphere completely different from a typical museum. Positive points: The entire complex is like an oasis of peace in the heart of the citadel — although you’re only 10–15 meters away from the hustle and bustle of the old town’s streets, you feel as if you have the place all to yourself. The impressive architecture. The garden, where you can sit for hours and relax (especially pleasant in the evening). Unique views of the surrounding streets (such as the famous Street of the Knights). Well-organized collections that illustrate the three major civilizations that shaped the island: Greek, Venetian, and Ottoman. Negative points: The museum’s various sections don’t share the same closing/opening hours. Some close much earlier than the times displayed at the entrance. (For example, we visited twice but never managed to see the harem.) To fully enjoy the museum, it’s best to arrive in the morning or, at the latest, around lunchtime. Little information available or, in some cases, no information at all. Bonus point: For just a few euros more, you can purchase a combined ticket that grants access to several attractions: the Archaeological Museum, the Palace of the Grand Master, the Museum of Decorative Arts, and the Church of Our Lady of the Castle (the last two are more suited for true history enthusiasts, or for tourists with plenty of time on their hands.)

An absolutely gorgeous museum. You get to feel the aura and the vibe of the old town without the crowds. We had the entire place to ourself and it was magical. The old hospital was gorgeous and the artifacts were very well preserved. A truly magical place.

Majestic, grandiose, the walls of this grand place echoes the sound of the knights that used to gather there in big ceremonies, celebrating their victories. Very well preserved, shows the eras that passed in Rhodes and the political and cultural side of the rich island.

I really liked it, but here is something nobody is telling you about: some exhibitions are opened in certain hours&days only. I literally came for the prehistoric period and didn't get to see it as I was 30 minutes late for it. Thursday, Tuesdays and Saturdays only, 9 to 16:50. Rather visit in these times to be able to fully enjoy the otherwise great museum with rich exhibition.

The museum is so beautiful with the garden and areas to sit and enjoy the sun. The statues are so incredible to see in person especially the tumbled one that was found in the ocean. I highly recommend i was in a rush to to a booking but I was there for 2 hours and didn't even realise! I went late September around 5pm and there was like no one there it was great!

The Archaeological Museum of Rhodes is a must if you're even a little curious about the island's history. Located inside the medieval Hospital of the Knights. The building alone is impressive. The exhibits cover a wide range, statues, mosaics, ceramics, jewelry, from ancient Greece through medieval times. The gardens are peaceful and the layout is easy to follow. Entry is 10 eur. It can get warm inside, so bring water. Great cultural stop to escape the sun for a bit and learn something real.

Been to Rhodes old town many times, but never managed to go into the museum. I would say it's a must visit. It was much bigger than we thought and the main large room that used to be the original hospital ward was breathtaking, much larger than expected. So many rooms with various prices of pottery and artefacts from over the years. Including a couple of rooms with some fantastic marble sculptures. I would also recommend visiting the garden to the back as it was a lively place to sit and cool down at the end of the day.

Excellent. A bucket list visit for me, with a really good explanatory series of plaques in an alley to your left about halfway up. Provides a lot of helpful context. Interestingly, a poster in the palace's museum even suggests that the 'langues' were a precursor to the EU. A bit of a stretch to my mind; but there's no doubting the multicultural nature of the separate inns, when viewed as a whole community. Visit early for the best views!

Iconic street in Rhodes Old Town. Access from gate on side of harbour/bus station area. It leads up to the palace and a nice stroll along the walls in the shade of trees. Good photo opportunity.

The Street of the Knights (Ippoton Street) in Rhodes is an absolute must-see and one of the most fascinating places on the island. Walking along this perfectly preserved medieval street feels like stepping straight into history. Every stone and archway tells a story of the Knights of St. John, who once ruled the island and left behind an incredible architectural legacy. The atmosphere is magical — narrow cobblestone paths, beautifully restored buildings, and the quiet charm of a bygone era make it one of the most picturesque spots in the Old Town. You’ll find small museums, charming courtyards, and little artisan shops hidden behind ancient walls. It’s especially stunning in the early morning or evening when the crowds thin out and the golden light hits the stone façades. Whether you’re a history lover, photographer, or simply someone who enjoys wandering through beautiful streets, the Street of the Knights is a must-visit highlight that captures the true soul of medieval Rhodes.

Walking down the Street of the Knights is like stepping into a living medieval painting. This remarkably well-preserved cobblestone street runs from the Palace of the Grand Master to the Hospital of the Knights and was the ceremonial heart of the Knights Hospitaller during their rule over Rhodes from 1309 to 1522. Each building along the street once housed a "Langue"—a national division of the Order—representing different regions like France, Italy, Spain, and Germany. The facades display coats of arms and Gothic details that reflect the cultural identity of each group. Despite centuries of history, the street has retained its authentic medieval character, thanks to careful restoration by Italian architects in the early 20th century. There’s a rare stillness here, even when the Old Town is bustling. The narrow passage, lined with tall stone buildings and arched doorways, feels timeless. Imagine knights in armor passing by on horseback, flags fluttering above, and the air filled with a sense of solemn duty and tradition. Today, some of the buildings are used as government offices or museums, while others remain closed to preserve their historical integrity. It’s best visited early in the morning or late in the afternoon for a quiet stroll—and incredible photos without the crowds. A must-see for anyone visiting Rhodes.

This was very good to see. After visiting the Palace you should walk down this street. The stone buildings on either side were meeting rooms for the knights from various countries.

Very Historical Street, if you are interested in the Knights of Rhodes and the Knights Hosptaller, this is a great place to visit. At the top of the street is the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes, also a must visit place.

Walking down Knights Road feels like stepping back into the Middle Ages. One of the most atmospheric spots in Rhodes Old Town.

Please change your schedule. Why did you list Sunday as a working day if it is closed?

I must say the reconstruction and putting the cashier (self check out) to the first floor was not really smart idea. Unfortunately I have asked to save some time for normal cashier even walked up and down 2 times so I was told only self check out. I miss the store as it used to be :)

Good sport wear from the house of Zara fashion. Cheap and good quality

A trendy little restaurant in Rhodos city

Great quality, well displayed items

Good products and good prices!

Very nice shop.

A fascinating area of Hellenistic archeology. The arena is particularly stunning. Tip- you can enter the site from the top or bottom ends (google maps takes you to the top). Roadways make access to some parts accessible. Drift amongst the ruins and admire the massive collection of labelled artefacts that presumably need sorting through! There is also a pleasant café and toilets.

Very nice acropolis on top of the hill. You can walk from the center of the town or take a bus. There’s a café at the entrance with lots of seating and parking. You can park there. The entire site is comprised of the stadium, the amphitheater, ruins of the Apollon temple, and the Artemis (though only the foundations remain for that one). On Sunday, the site visit was free of charge otherwise it was €10 per person for adults. You can stroll around and look at this marvelous site. I suggest some good footwear because the paths around the site are sometimes rough.

Not the flashiest of ancient ruins, but the stadium and Odeon are well preserved and the placards tell the story of an ancient academy that can be easily seen from the ruins outliyon the grounds. There isn't much left of the Temple of Apollo or the Temple of Artemis because they were heavily bombed in WW 2 but there are some ruins and good explanatory displays. If you have more than a day in Rhodes it's worth the visit. It's free, quiet and has great views. A peaceful respite compared to the huge crowds of the Old Town.

This was such an interesting visit, still lots of work to do but amazing to see remains of the temple, arena and theatre. The size is just mind blowing and if these stones could talk….. Thoroughly recommend, it is definitely worth a visit. There are toilets within the wall on the left on the way down from the temple. Great little cafe, Acropolis cafe, at the bottom with tasty cake and reasonable prices, coffee lovely. Currently no charge to visit the Acropolis so why not? I hope they continue developing this site as it would be absolutely amazing. Has more to see than Acropolis at Lindos in my humble opinion!

Very good, picturesque walk to and from the acropolis. If you’re staying in Rhodes town definitely do go, it’s worth seeing some ancient history and reading about what it signified. We went on a Saturday morning and didn’t pay for any tickets which was a bonus. They also have a little gallery with the history of the excavations and there are toilets nearby.

Acropolis itself isn't very impressive sadly, but they're making some adjustments or renovations, not sure. Perhaps it will be interesting when the construction finishes. Right now it's not very worth. Better visit the stadium and scene/odeon. This is the location of the Acropoli, not the complex itself

Asides from the fact that it was on renovation when I visited, safe to say it’s okay to take 30 mins of your time to visit the monument. You not only see the Acropolis but the stadium right behind it. Parking is free, less crowded, entrance is free as well.

Really nice Jumbo store, clean, tidy and modern. It was a pleasure when we visited with family in June. There is also a small coffee and refreshments van just outside of it, so it makes your visit even more convenient.

Large shop of everything. Lot of toys, decorative items, cosmetics, household goods etc. Affordable prices for tourists. Toilets for customers. Better go by car ("midle of nowhere"). Eat before - there is no restaurant nearby.

Plenty of varieties for especially kids. We'll enough parking lots. There are lots of stuffs for home supplies. " But the lady in yellow hair by the enterance is not so kind and helpfull for the tourist people..." Rest of the staff are very helpfull.

Great range of toys and household items

I loved the Jumbo so many nice things and very good prices.

If you have a car and you’re on holidays in Rhodes, you absolutely must go to Jumbo. It’s huge, like an American Walmart or Australian Kmart, with everything you could need at really cheap prices. Highly recommend grabbing an umbrella, beach gear, or snacks to save a bunch of money. Lots of bargains, cheap treats, and a fun, air-conditioned shopping experience that’s perfect for a break from the heat.

Love Jumbo. Sells Everything Literally Everthing. The Store Just Goes On. Its Checkout is Also Pretty Efficent. The bags Are A Little Expensive Though. But Love Jumbo Its Pretty Good.

Good service and a pleasant atmosphere, typical of the Old Town of Rhodes. You need to have a reservation in advance. The presentation of the food is very good but the portions are small and the prices are high. The beef we ordered medium came overcooked and dry, but on the other hand, the fish was pleasantly juicy with a crispy coating.

The food here was very very good. The atmosphere is great. But the staff left a lot to be desired. We were not able to make a reservation less than 24 hours before because it was booked but we made on for the end of our trip. At first everything was nice, but by dessert it was clear we were not a priority for the staff and they had changed servers once or twice on us. We were offered a dessert special but it wasn't available. When we changed our dessert we ordered wine with it and nothing ever came and no one checked on us, while all the other tables have regular service and waiters who are talking to and engaging with them. After 20 minutes we got up and paid, still our server never checked on us. We were having a wonderful evening and it crashed really hard at the end.

The food was excellent, combining authentic Greek flavours with refined gourmet touches in a way that felt both unique and memorable. Portions were generous, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The setting is truly beautiful, with a cosy and peaceful garden atmosphere that provides the perfect backdrop for a special meal. Overall, this restaurant delivers a wonderful combination of high-quality cuisine, great range of Wines with great sommelier recommendations, generous servings, and a great location. A fantastic choice for anyone looking to enjoy both exceptional food and a stunning atmosphere.

Such a great atmosphere and lovely environment. You can just fill with joy only looking around and feeling relaxed. Lamb was extremely delicious, and fish starter with celery puree and lemon on the top was just amazingly fresh! They also suggest amazing wine that it concluded everything perfectly Highly recommended

So this was a tricky one for us. Recommended to us and a pretty expensive place to eat, I would start off by saying that the ambiance of the place is unique, stylish and quaint all at the same time. The staff were friendly and attentive but the menu was a little confusing and the food was only to the liking of 50% of our reservation. All in all the food was beautifully prepared and for the most part extremely tasty. Would have liked more of a choice on the vegetarian menu as if mushrooms weren’t your thing you would have been left with no choice.

We booked this restaurant a couple of weeks in advance as we knew it would be busy. We were looking forward to this meal as heard great reviews. Can honestly say that this place out done itself. I had the spinach salad to start and the sea bass for main and my fiance had the octopus to start and the lamb chops for main. Unbelievable food and unbelievable service. A lovely little restaurant with fantastic service. The wait staff made you feel as if you were the only ones in the restaurant and were very friendly and attentive. If I could give 10 stars out of 10 I would. Highly reccomend for anyone visiting Rhodes Old Town but be sure to book in advance!!

Fantastic restaurant and overall experience. Service and host by the owner was in keeping with the family feel and it followed through with quality ingredients / presentation and general atmosphere. Even though it has had social media following it still feels like a “find” walking amongst the traditional old town streets to get to it. Thankfully we got a cancellation booking but otherwise people were being turned away so best to book. 5*

Very nice place with beautiful grounds. Good service and friendly staff. Traditional Cretan cuisine and modern Greek cuisine. We really enjoyed the food and the quality of the dishes.

I can't say it's something special sadly, although everyone was having quite some meat. Personal taste I think, but the meat was undercooked and we left most of it. Keep in mind when ordering. Fries tasted bad/old, food came seconds after ordering and we had to wait and remind them about drinks. Cheese was not feta - nor in the fries, salad, or the fried one. At least they brought us watermelon which is rare these days...

We decided to try this restaurant with the promise of traditional greek food and it looked like a beautiful restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately the service felt incredibly rushed, the server was looking at his device while trying to seat us and first of all offered us a dirty table. Once we were sat the staff were quick to bring us menus and served our drinks quickly which was good. However that's where it went downhill, the beef stifado was almost pure fat and was inedible the sauce so incredibly runny, the bread was not tasty and was dry, the fries were average at best and also dry, neither of us ate barely anything and the wait staff didn't ask how our meals were and just took our plates, the staff are clearly rushed off their feet but this place needs real work in the kitchen and in terms of the food quality, this is probably up there with one of my worst meals in Greece. Really disappointed.

If you are visiting roads, you must try this restaurant! It’s a traditional cretin style taverna with incredible food and incredible staff! We arrived, and they didn’t have a table for four available for us, but that didn’t matter, the manager of the restaurant made a space for us to sit, where one didn’t exist before! We absolutely enjoyed ourselves visiting this restaurant, and the atmosphere was incredible! And who doesn’t love a restaurant that starts the evening off with a shot of alcohol!

A beautiful garden setting with truly delicious food. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a scenic spot to enjoy traditional Greek cuisine.

Friendly service, great food, nice local atmosphere. The smoked meat is delicious. Can definitely recommend coming here!

The food was really good, fresh and full of taste. What stood out the most, however, was the warm hospitality – the staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel truly at home. A lovely place with both great flavors and genuine people.

I found Le Gourmet by chance as it was a few meters from my hotel. Both the food and the service were excellent, I really recommend it. I went twice, I tried the Blue Cheese sauce burger, the taramosalata, the steamed mussels, the chicken with creamy sauce and the bread basket, all excellent. Maria offered to explain everything in detail as she did to the other guest around me but being Greek I didn’t really need it. They treated me to a lovely dessert in the end. It is cat friendly. Excellent overall!

Very tasty food and excellent value for money. We had chicken souvlaki (kebab) it was beautifully cooked chicken it came with tzatziki and a pita bread and with a plate of homemade chips probably the best chips I have ever had! We also had a Neapolitan (plain tomato) spaghetti that was delicious and not on the menu but it was made especially for us, just ask. The service is friendly and helpful.

We were twice at this restaurant and both times it was amazing experience! Food was the best we’ve ate in the island and the ladies who own this place are very nice and helpful. We had a lamb for 2, rabbit, grilled brim, baklava and all the food was excellent. Suggesting for everybody to visit this lovely place

Yesterday we went to this restaurant and it was a very good experience! Food was the best and the staff was very helpful. We had eggplant with cheese, fresh fish and traditional apaki and all the food was excellent. You should definitely visit this restaurant

The overall experience was great! We were greeted by a very kind person who explained everything in detail and asked if we needed help with food selection. The food and the house white wine were delicious. Strongly recommended!! :)

By far the meal we had in Rhodes. Let the owners decide the menu and they did not disappoint. The muscles were amazing and the leg of lamb was some of the best I've ever had. Wonderful food and service.

What a place, do not walk past and be tempted by main road restaurant. The food is stunning. Service polite and timely allowing you time to savour the generous portions. Trust me, this is home prepared and cooked, large. Beef fillet, stroganoff and veal chop. Simple well cooked and presented, taste was something else

Καραβελαδικα (Karaveladika) – A Hidden Oasis of Rhodian Tradition & Modernity Tucked within the labyrinthine, candy-colored streets of Koskinou—a village steeped in Rhodian charm—**Καραβελαδικα (Karaveladika)** is a revelation. Housed in a lovingly restored historic building, this taverna masterfully bridges the gap between rustic authenticity and contemporary flair, offering a dining experience that feels both timeless and refreshingly inventive. **Atmosphere: A Secret Garden of Senses** Finding Karaveladika feels like uncovering a well-kept local secret. The renovated stone-and-wood structure blends seamlessly into Koskinou’s pastel-hued alleyways, its exterior whispering tradition while the interior surprises with minimalist elegance. Exposed beams, soft lighting, and subtle nods to the building’s heritage (think vintage tools or faded family photos) create a warm, intimate vibe. The outdoor seating, shaded by vines or olive trees, adds a dreamy, almost secret-garden quality to the space. **Culinary Experience: Where Tradition Meets Imagination** The menu here is a love letter to Rhodian cuisine, reimagined with creativity and respect for quality. Standout dishes from your visit include: - **30-Foulla (Rose) Salad**: A showstopper. Edible rose petals mingle with peppery greens, tangy local cheese, and a citrus-kissed dressing—a dish as poetic as it is flavorful. - **Baked Bougiourdi**: A fiery, indulgent twist on the classic. Feta and spicy peppers bubble under a golden crust, served with crusty bread for scooping up every last morsel. - **Pork & Chicken Kontosouvli**: Juicy, charcoal-kissed skewers that showcase the magic of Rhodian grilling. The meat, marinated in local herbs and olive oil, is smoky, tender, and utterly satisfying. The **house wine**, often overlooked in tavernas, is a revelation here—bright, balanced, and bursting with terroir. Whether you opt for the crisp white or a velvety red, it’s a perfect partner to the bold flavors on your plate. **Service: Warmth Without Pretense** Staff here treat you like an old friend, offering recommendations with genuine enthusiasm but never hovering. The vibe is unfussy yet attentive, letting the food and setting take center. ### **The Verdict** Karaveladika is a must-visit for anyone craving authenticity without compromise. It’s a place where rose petals grace your salad, where every bite of kontosouvli tastes like a summer feast, and where the wine flows as freely as the laughter of locals. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a Rhodian regular, this taverna captures the soul of the island—one reinvented classic at a time. **Rating**: 5/5 – A flawless blend of heritage and innovation.

We went there for dinner and were absolutely thrilled! We were warmly welcomed and shown to our table right away. The service was incredibly attentive – we were offered help several times and informed about special features like the wood-fired oven. The food was outstanding, made with great attention to detail – and as a highlight, we even got some Greek ice cream on the house! Bonus points for the adorable little dog who made the evening even more special 🐶 Highly recommended – we’d love to come back!

It doesn't get any better than this! We spontaneously walked past this taverna on our stroll through Koskinou and were immediately hooked. Being able to sit outside on the street or upstairs on the terrace is just a special vibe. The relaxed music from inside, the super friendly waiters and everything about this place is fantastic. Every dish we ordered was lovingly prepared; the ingredients were all very fresh, the preparation fantastic and the spices perfectly dosed! For dessert, we had a delicious ice cream in a cone, which completely blew us away! If you are in Koskinou you MUST have dinner here, it's so worth it! ♥️

I’ll be honest, this is maybe the best dinner I’ve ever had. The food was nothing short of phenomenal and I wish I had more pictures, but me and my friends ate it so fast. Just have the house wine, it’s light and sweet, you don’t need to order anything fancy. And the mutton was just perfect. Don’t bother going into old town, this is not only much better, but also more affordable. They also gave us free lemon desert at the end, which no one else in town gave. This place is amazing!

Wow! An amazing restaurant with 5 star quality food. Service was outstanding as well as the food. Very friendly staff especially with children. Definitely worth a visit if staying in Koskinou and even if you are not. Food was absolutely scrumptious!

Lovely restaurant, with great food. The steak was perfect and really tender until the last piece. But what truly makes the experience great, is the staff. They are very kind and on point. Thanks for having me.

This was quite easily the best restaurant we have ever been to. Firstly, the setting is so authentic and very romantic which we loved. The staff were so welcoming and helpful even helping us with menu choices. Then we got to the food. We ordered a lot for 2 people but everything came out quickly and piping hot. Everything was so incredibly fresh and cooked perfectly. The flavours were amazing and like nothing we have ever tasted. For the amount of food we got it was also so reasonably priced. I would have been happy to pay double what our meal cost. If you visit Rhodes you must come here and experience it for yourself. It was my favourite ever dining experience and one day we will be back.
