Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Colossus (art work)

The bronze statue stood approximately 33 meters (110 feet) tall, comparable to the Statue of Liberty without its pedestal. Built with recycled weapon metals from defeated invaders, its torso alone required 12 tons of bronze. Historical records mention the sun-god Helios held a torch that doubled as a lighthouse beacon.

A 30 million Euro project proposes a steel-framed reconstruction with solar panel skin, standing 150 meters tall at the original harbor entrance. Controversies exist over maritime safety regulations and UNESCO heritage concerns. Meanwhile, temporary 3D projections are shown during the Rhodes Cultural Festival each September.

From Mandráki Harbor it's a 5-minute walk past the Elli Beach. Look for the stone deer statues marking the ancient pedestal locations. Public bus line 5 stops at Kolossos Square, or take a horse carriage tour that includes Medieval City routes. GPS coordinates: 36.4511°N, 28.2278°E.

The Naval Clock Tower offers panoramic views of the supposed construction site. Nearby St. Nicholas Fortress displays siege engine replicas used in the statue's defense. Don't miss the Hellenistic Shipwreck Exhibition showcasing amphorae that once carried statue materials. All within a 15-minute walking radius.

Pliny the Elder documented its construction techniques involving earth ramps and bronze casting molds. Byzantine chronicles described how 900 camels transported the fallen pieces. The Lindos Chronicle stone tablet (now in the British Museum) records the 12-year building process supervised by sculptor Chares of Lindos.

Wear sturdy shoes for uneven marble surfaces. Summer temperatures can exceed 40°C (104°F) - carry water bottles available at the site's ECO kiosks. Beware of aggressive souvenir vendors near the parking area. For historians, the Rhodes Earthquake Guidebook details the 226 BC disaster that toppled the statue.

Virginia Family Resort

Virginia Family Resort truly exceeded our expectations—perfect for families, but also an ideal getaway for couples like us. The cleanliness, proximity to the beach, and delicious meals were all impressive, but what made our stay unforgettable was the staff. Every team member was incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Special mention goes to Marisol, the program coordinator—her positive energy, cheerful attitude, and thoughtful recommendations for nearby towns made our trip even more memorable. She gave us great tips on hidden gems and local attractions that we wouldn’t have found on our own. From check-in to checkout, we felt completely at home. The overall experience was exceptional, and we’re already planning our return visit.

Rhodos Horizon Blu-Adults Only

Staying at Rhodos Horizon Blu-Adults Only was an absolute delight. The soundproofing is excellent—no noise from neighboring rooms, making for a peaceful night’s sleep. Cleanliness is top-notch; the room was spotless and well-maintained throughout our stay. What truly stood out was the stunning sea view—right from the balcony, you can gaze out over the Aegean Sea. It’s incredibly close to the water, so walking down to the beach was effortless and refreshing. The in-room mini-fridge is a nice touch, and staff regularly refill the water bottles without needing to ask. One small note: bring your own slippers and disposable toiletries, but that’s a minor detail. Overall, this place offers a perfect blend of tranquility, comfort, and breathtaking views. Highly recommended for a relaxing, adult-only getaway.

Paris Hotel

Staying at this hotel was an absolute highlight of our trip to Rhodes! Located right in the heart of the old town, it's incredibly convenient—just a short walk to the harbor, local shops, and all the historic sites.

Emmanuel Apartments

I can't say enough good things about this place — it was an absolutely amazing stay for the price we paid. Located just a short walk from the town center, bus station, and some of the most beautiful beaches on the island, it’s incredibly convenient. While not luxurious, the apartment was fully equipped with everything you’d need for a comfortable holiday: air conditioning, washing machine, kettle, kitchenware, hairdryer, a proper fridge, and even a lovely balcony with a drying rack. The rooms are cleaned every other day, and fresh towels are provided — really thoughtful. It’s in a quiet residential neighborhood, and there’s a gorgeous avocado tree right outside the balcony, which adds such a peaceful, welcoming touch. The owners are incredibly kind and helpful, and they were very flexible with check-in and check-out times — no stress at all. If we ever return to Rhodes, we’ll definitely be booking Emmanuel’s Apartments again, especially Room No. 10. Highly recommend!
