Rhodes Accommodation & Nightlife

Accommodation

There are huge numbers of beds for tourists throughout the Greek islands, so most of the season you can rely on turning up pretty much anywhere and finding a room - if not in a hotel, then in a private house or, more typically, a block of rooms. Only from late July to early September, and around Easter, the country's high season, are you likely to experience problems. At these times, if you don't have accommodation reserved well in advance, you'd be wise to keep well off the main tourist hotspots, turning up at each new place early in the day and taking whatever is available - you may be able to exchange it for something better later on.
