Rhodes
The Electra Palace Rhodes is located on the western coast of Rhodes overlooking the clear Aegean Sea. This bright and welcoming modern resort offers elegant rooms with sea, pool or garden views. The beachfront Electra Palace Rhodes Hotel is proud to offer several dining options including the international buffet-style restaurant, Electra’s, Greek restaurant, Orientalista, with Greek specialities such as gyros and souvlaki, Chinese classics at A La Chinoise, and fresh pasta, antipasti and pizza at Al Convento.
Many sports facilities and activities are also a feature of the resort, with tennis courts, yoga classes, scuba lessons and much more. There is first-class childcare service with a kids’ club (4 to 12 years old), and a newly opened crèche (four months up to 4 years old) both accredited with Worldwide Kids Childcare status. The vibrant and picturesque town of Ialyssos (Trianta) is a 5-minute drive or 20-minute walk from the hotel and is bursting with shops, cafes, restaurant and bars. For adventurers, a hike to Filerimos Hill is a must, so tighten up those laces and enjoy stunning views and colourful, bright scenery.
Take a plunge into the ancient Byzantine Empire! The largest and arguably most historically powerful of the Dodecanese Islands, Rhodes has firmly anchored itself in the Aegean Sea with a strong sense of self and with a multitude of experiences to offer. A welcoming harbour in the Mediterranean, Rhodes Town rises gently above the azure-blue sea. Here holidaymakers can walk through the narrow streets of the beautifully preserved, UNESCO Heritage-listed Old Town, where only the local tourist shops remind you that you’ve not actually travelled back to the Middle Ages. Stroll along the old walls of the city, visit the castle and marvel at the Palace of the Knights, which was built by crusaders in the 14th century. If you’re still hungry for historical things, then feast your interest on the nearby Archaeological Museum of Rhodes. When the midday sun starts to really take effect, retreat to one of the cafés or tavernas for a light lunch, or kick back and relax along one of the many beaches that surround the oval island. Lounge by one of the many beautiful stretches of sandy beaches, have a refreshing swim in the clear blue sea or wander through the quaint little streets of the town.
