Get out of the streets of Lindos and onto the rocks around the base of the Acropolis. A beautiful place to sunbathe in peace away from the Brits abroad!

Seven Springs near Afandou is a wonderful cool spot set in a pine forest beside a mountain stream. Sit at a wooden table and eat village food – specialty: baby kid chops. Then follow the stream and walk through a long cool tunnel (about 100 metres) out to a beautiful freshwater lake. The tunnel is clean and safe - and thrilling for children over 5. Try it.

Afandou is around 22 km from Rhodes Town, on the east coast. From there, to the right of the Kolimbia coast, is a road that leads to Seven Springs;

This is the best beach taverna on Rhodes, run by Philip (from the island) and his English wife, Barbara. Perfect traditional Greek menu, all freshly cooked, in a drew setting on top of the cliff above the north end of the beach

A restaurant on the main square in Lindos that serves up amazing food. It is rumoured that Jackie Onassis once dined there!

My top tip is to head to Rhodes Town early in the morning before the tourist rush. Make your way around the Old Town in peace - visiting the Grand Master's Palace and Archealogical Museum.

This slightly mad but safe village with labyrinthine streets offers stunning views of the Acropolis of Lindos.

This is the only place on the island to go scuba diving – the rest of the island is unsuitable for the purpose. What you will find is akin to a fabulous underwater grotto. The water in the bay gently gets deeper, but the real magic is when the rocks turn into shallow shelves under the water, about 10 metres off the shore. You can snorkel here quite happily here in less than 2 feet of water, with the sun on your back, chasing fish, as I did.

The old town of Rhodes is a beautiful walled town with narrow cobbled streets and some wonderful looking restaurants nestled in the walls of a palace. I also saw an old man feeding a group of cats down at Mandrake Harbour, which is also gorgeous. There is a bizarre aquarium down there with a selection of embalmed and living sea animals - most notably a rather large shark which haunted me when I went scuba diving later on in the holiday.

The whole island is lovely and only about 50 miles wide, so you can get around easily - and all the taxi drivers seem to drive Mercedes and are about 105 years old.
