    City Center Hotel

    Posted by Mickhud 7 July 2008

    This is a great budget hotel in Rhodes Town with a good restaurant and a wonderful Bar for people watching. The staff are, without exception, friendly, helpful and hospitable and the breakfast is great (full English buffet). The hotel is two minutes from the town beach and a pleasant stroll away from the amazing Old Town.

    Hammam, Rhodes Old Town

    Posted by eros 3 April 2007

    If you want a spa with a difference try the Hammam in the heart of Rhodes Old Town.

    This huge Turkish bath is a relic from the Ottoman empire, and has cavernous steam rooms and plunge pools. The building is completely authentic, you are welcome to just sit and relax, or have a fantastic massage which leaves you wobbly when you stand.

    Locals go regularly, and it is said to be a great cure for acne.

    There are rooms for one person, two or the communal area. It is worth going simply to admire this beautiful old building!

    If you are not too relaxed to walk, enjoy a coffee or a drink at one of the cafe bars opposite when you leave.

    It's a 5 minute walk from Socrates Street, ask at one of the restaurants at the fountain.

    Entrance fee is E2 and a massage costs E5 - bring towels and swimming costumes. It is open all year.

    Thomas Neocafe - Kremasti

    Posted by eros 23 February 2007

    This is a great Greek coffee shop, in the heart of Kremasti village. Thomas and Mikhlais will give you a really warm welcome. You can enjoy cocktails, a latte or traditional Greek coffee, they also serve freshly prepared snacks.

    Come and play tavli (backgammon) or take a rest in the shade if you are travelling around. It's worth coming to see the mad murals they have painted on the walls inside.

    The prices are cheap and children are very welcome.

    It's on the left hand side as you come from Rhodes Town, after Melody Palace. Park at the side of the church and it's a 2 minute walk.

    The Walk Inn is a bar/restaurant in the heart of the Old Town, a 5 minute walk from Socrates Street. It's set in a very pretty square and you can spend hours watching the world wander by.

    There is a fantastic atmosphere, the food is all freshly prepared (pizzas and meze a speciality) children are very welcome and the prices are ridiculously reasonable.

    There's no web site, but if you want directions call them on 22410 74293, and someone will come to meet you! How's that for service!

    Estia - Restaurant in Lindos

    Posted by Squidgy 6 October 2006

    They do the best Gyros pitta on Rhodes - pork cooked on a rotisserie, with tzatziki, tomates and onions. I sampled quite a few just to be sure! A great value lunch at just 3 Euros.

    It's near the church bell tower on a corner after you walk past the Donkeys from the main square.
