Sixt Tips

Car rental in Rhodes allows you to plan your own itinerary whether you are on vacation or fitting in a spot of sightseeing between business meetings. Rhodes is famous for historic attractions and its numerous other Roman and Greek sites. It is also a popular beach vacation destination. However, the island's main beaches can be crowded during the summer months.

Take the road towards Siana and park on one of the farm roads close to the mountain. The climb is quite difficult and takes around 2 or 3 hours, but you will be rewarded with magnificent views. A hard climb isn't for you? Drive up the mountain instead using the approach road to the south.

Car rental means plenty of space for shopping. Local arts and crafts include jewelry and ceramics, and sponges are a must buy item. The island has over 300 days of sun per year so it may come as a surprise to discover that umbrellas are a major industry. Lots of people buy a made in Rhodes umbrella as a joke souvenir but they are an excellent choice if you come from a wetter land.
