In my opinion, Rhodes one of the most beautiful Greek islands. It is washed by two seas: Aegean and Mediterranean. Once the most popular island was considered Crete, but recently the situation has changed, Rhodes are much more attractive - it is more green with excellent opportunities for a beach holiday, it is also wonderful for all categories of tourists: youth, families with children, older people, active athletes.
The most important thing is to choose a location where to stay.
Rhodes.
The coast on Rhodes is divided into West and East. In the west beach, pebble, more windy, and in the east, on the contrary, more calm and sand, somewhere in the afternoon with small pebbles. For lovers of active sports: riding on waves and windsurfing will be ideal to be the west coast.
In the West, tourists stop in two places: Yalissos. and ICCIA.
Yalissos - One of the major resorts on Rhodes. Tourist infrastructure is very well developed here. Many all kinds of shops, bars, taverns, restaurants, nightclubs. At the same time, the local flavor is greatly felt in Yalissos, many beautiful attractions, old castles in the city itself. The sea is the Aegean, often there are waves, so active tourists are mainly here. It was in Yalissos that the largest center for Windsurfing is located. The beaches here are sandy-pebble, somewhere pebbles are very large, but the water in the sea is crystal clear.

ICCIA - In comparison with Yalissos, the place is quieter, sometimes there are periods when the sea is calm and swim is a pleasure. But it is very difficult to predict. Therefore, if the waves are not what you expect from your beach holiday, it is better not to go to Iccia. However, resting on Rhodes, it costs to call here, the places here are very fabulous, especially, ICSIA is famous for its stunning sunsets.

The eastern coast includes resorts Califa, Faliraki, Afanda and Colimbia.
Most popular and sought-after place - Faliraki. First of all, it attracts here a large number of tourists is the presence of a gorgeous sandy beach. There are very few rhodes, so the choice is not very great. Plus, the Faliraki is a place with a well-developed tourist infrastructure, here in the very center I will boil an active life: both the day and night. Also, in Faliraki there is a large water park Waterpark, a moon park and many good hotels located directly on the first coastline. This place is perfect for almost all categories of tourists, there will be no boring cheerful youth, family couples with children, except those who need a very calm and secluded rest.

Caliphea - Great place for lovers of a completely quiet and quiet rest. However, if the city of Rhodes and the village of Faliraki itself becomes completely boring. Calife can be calmly called healthy, there are pine forests, mineral healing sources and several medical centers. But, despite the silence in Califer, there is also something to occupy yourself, here is a magnificent pleasure promenade, for dive lovers, there are interesting objects for inspection - caves. For connoisseurs of history and antiquity, you can familiarize yourself with local working churches.

Afanda - Very large villages on Rhodes, however it is not located on the very seashore, so the demand for tourists to this place is very weak. However, special trainers run to the sea. Beach here pebble, awarded for purity with a blue flag. Afanda is a place for tourists who want to relax from the like themselves, to be among the locals, look at the life and life of the population.

Kolimbia - Once this place was a modest simple village, but now everything changes, this resort is beginning to spin, become: fashionable, in demand among tourists. Kombia is a very green resort, it is in this village that the famous eucalyptus alley is located. Hotels here are the most diverse, both simple and fashionable. Tourist infrastructure is well developed, but Quizbia is not rich in active nightlife. What is undoubtedly a plus for people looking for a calm, high-quality vacation. The beach in Kolimbia is very good - sandy, with a gentle sunset at sea.

In the south-east of Rhodes, a very famous resort is located Lindos. . Lindos is one of the most ancient cities in Greece with a rich history. What is famous for this city: its Acropolia, which is even more ancient in age than in Athens. Also, there is an ancient military fort, on the background of him, tourists love to take photos. Lindos itself offers different options to stay. These are private villas, and hotels of varying star, and simple apartments. The tourist infrastructure is also well developed, there are taverns, and nightclubs, and the market where you can buy anything at good prices.
