Modern resorts and miles of beaches entice revellers of all ages, while there is masses to entertain those who like to explore. Picture book whitewashed villages in the hills, valleys like Petaloudes, all a flutter with colourful butterflies, and ancient Hellenistic temples and amphitheatres at one with their surroundings all wait to be explored and appreciated. Budding archaeologists will be drawn to the sites at Kamiros and Ialysos. There’s a huge legacy of Byzantine riches, reminders of the Crusades, even splendid examples of fascist Italian Thirties architecture to hunt down. All these themes seem to come together at the northern tip of the island where the Old Town of Rhodes welcomes today’s invaders behind the imposing medieval walls built by the Knights of St John.
