Rhodes is the largest island in the Dodecanese and one of the most historically layered destinations in the Greek world — the medieval Old Town of Rhodes City is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the most intact medieval city in Europe, where the Street of the Knights built by the Knights Hospitaller in the fourteenth century still stands in near-original condition. The combination of extraordinary historical heritage, excellent beaches on both the west and east coasts, and a developed luxury resort infrastructure makes Rhodes one of the most complete Greek island destinations.

For Rhodes Old Town. The medieval walled city — the Street of the Knights, the Palace of the Grand Master, the Byzantine churches converted to mosques under Ottoman rule, the Jewish Quarter. A PP linen shirt in white or a warm natural with linen trousers and leather shoes. The limestone walls and the Byzantine-Ottoman-Crusader architecture reward natural fabric in the natural palette; the Old Town's heat — concentrated within the stone walls — rewards the breathability of certified Belgian linen.

For Lindos. The second major cultural destination on the island — the Acropolis of Lindos above the whitewashed village, the views across the bay, the pebble beach of Lindos below. A PP linen shirt in white or a warm natural with linen trousers and leather shoes for the Acropolis ascent; the same combination or linen shorts for the beach below.

For the east coast beaches. Tsambika, Faliraki, Afantou — the sandy beaches of the east coast. White PP linen over natural swim shorts, leather sandals.

For the Faliraki and the luxury resort hotels. The Lindos Blu, the Atrium Prestige, the luxury villa rentals of the island — white PP linen for the pool and beach; a navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes for the resort evening.
