Greece's Best Island is Rhodes Near Turkey

Is Rhodes the best Greek island to visit? For ancient acropolises, whitewashed cliffside villages, and a slew of beautiful beaches (some Blue Flag, others windy and wild), we say it’s certainly a strong contender. The largest of Greece’s Dodecanese islands and just a stone’s throw from the East, Rhodes has always been a strategic location and it shows in its many influences, including the Romans, Byzantines, Knights of St. John, and the Ottomans. In this travel guide, we explore two of Rhodes’ top destinations: Lindos and Rhodes Town. Are they both worth seeing? (Absolutely!) While Lindos is quaint and colorful, Rhodes Town boasts one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe. Let us know if you’ve been to Rhodes and where we should go the next time we visit.
