In the north of the island, Rhodes Town combines the medieval city of the Knights with a seaside waterfront, extended by Ialysos to the west and Kallithea to the south. Here you'll find an indoor heated pool on a rooftop, pools heated on request and covered spa pools. I've selected 17 places, all rated at least 8/10; the top-rated is Bellevue On The Beach Suites (4.8/5).
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.
