Here are top 5 reasons to visit Rhodes:
1. Beautiful beaches
Anthony Quinn bay, St Paul’s beach and Faliraki beach are one of the best sand beaches from the island. Besides these ones, there are many other beautiful beaches spread across the island.
Some of them are very popular among tourists and have chairs and umbrellas to rent and many bars close by, while others are more intimate, without any facilities or bars around. It’s up to you, what you prefer! Me, personally, I always test both types of beaches when going to a new place! It is the best way to convince yourself which are you like most!
