With long sandy beaches, ancient ruins, frescoed churches and eight sunny months a year, Rhodes “can’t help but be a winner for holidaymakers”, says The Daily Telegraph.

The Electra Palace Rhodes is on the island’s north coast in Ialyssos — Rhodes’s second-largest town. It’s next to the beach, and has a large outdoor pool and a spa with a heated indoor pool, a sauna, a steam room and a whirlpool.

There are four restaurants and five bars — highlights include a buffet with sea views, an al fresco Italian trattoria, a Chinese restaurant next to a pebble pond, and a restaurant that serves Greek specialities such as gyros and souvlaki.

Premium all-inclusive board covers all drinks, meals in the buffet restaurant and two à la carte dinners per stay, as well as drinks service from your poolside sun lounger, wine from local vineyards at lunch and dinner, and ice cream and waffles at the gelateria. Dance, pilates and Zumba classes are also included. Other activities, including scuba diving, boat tours and windsurfing, are available at a supplement.

About Ialyssos
Ialyssos is home to the temple ruins of Zeus and Athena, the remnants of Byzantine fortifications and a 14th-century church. The ancient acropolis of Rhodes Town — a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you’ll find cobbled streets and half-buried ruins — is a 15-minute drive away.
