Hotels near Acropolis of Rhodes

Overlooking modern Rhodes Town from Monte Smith Hill, the Acropolis of Rhodes is one of the most rewarding and underrated attractions on the island. The restored Temple of Apollo, the ancient stadium (still used for athletic events), and the dramatic hilltop setting make this a must for history enthusiasts. On a clear day, the views across the city to the sea are among the finest you will find anywhere on the island. Completely free to enter and open 24 hours.

Pro Tip: Visit at sunset for the best light and photos. The walk up from the Old Town takes about 25 minutes and passes through quiet residential streets - a pleasant evening stroll.
