Rhodes Holidays

Holidays on the Greek island of Rhodes

Rhodes Holidays


The Greek island of Rhodes is probably one of the more famous, certainly in the UK and maybe for the wrong reasons. At the turn of the centaury Rhodes (and others) became known as 'party islands', inhabited with the young throughout summer.

In reality this was only ever a small resort in one part of the islands and the reputation was unfairly given by the British press. Rhodes is in fact a beautiful island of historical significance. Boasting many beaches, old towns with UNESCO membership, crystal clear waters and delicious food. Rhodes is a wonderful choice for a summer holiday.

There is of course plenty of nightlife but only really in a handful of resorts and is very much aimed at the younger crowd.

If you'd like to find out more please contact our team and we'd be only too happy to help.

How to get to Rhodes?

Rhodes is easily accessible during the summer months from the UK. There are frequent flights from many UK airports direct to Rhodes between May and October. Rhodes has only one international airport lying on he east of the island.

During the winter months flights are far less frequent and many facilities, hotels and stores are closed. Access is possible but via Athens rather than on a direct flight from the UK.

Once you've arrived in Rhodes getting to your accommodation is easy via either a transfer or a hire car.


Where is Rhodes?

Rhodes is south east of the Greek mainland and is actually closer to the Turkish mainland than Greece itself lying just south of the Turkish resort of Marmaris.

The island is on of the most southerly and so typically boasts warmer weather throughout summer.

The Holiday People Financial Protection

At The Holiday People we give you full financial protection.

Simply, when you make a booking your money goes into a sperate business account and stays there until you go on holiday.

Your money is separated from the money we use to run the business. Your money enters into either a Trust Account or Client Account pending what elements of a holiday your booking.
