Rhodes
Greek Islands, Greece
Blessed with 300 sunny days a year, curvaceous swirls of powder sand, endemic flora and wildlife, and lengthy history, Rhodes delights both beachcombers and history wonks in equal measure.
Recommended place to stay:
Just inside of St. Athanasius Gate and close to every sight in the Old Town, is this 2018 winner of Europe’s Historic Hotel awards.
It’s indistinguishable from the cluster of medieval townhouses surrounding it; sensitive restoration has even left the original wooden beams standing.
Each room sports an original painting; breakfast is both freshly cooked and tailored to your appetites; every bathroom has a rain shower, and the family suite sports a private full-blown hammam.
Plus, it comes with its own lovers’ legend of the ‘Blue Jewel’ which you can read about there: a Greek best-seller was based on it.
