Hello everyone!
My boyfriend and I have a week off in July, from the 10th. We thought it would be great to go to Rhodes - Lindos would be great, or a nearby area. My questions are:
1. What are the costs like in July/possibilities of getting a cheapy? At first I thought it would be astronomical but the kids are not out of school at that time, so maybe it won't be so bad. Does anyone have recommendations for any companies that do good deals?
2. Just how hot does it get in the middle of July - unbearably so? We both like it hot but is it the kind where you really can't do anything between 12 - 4?
3. Any rough idea of spending money for 2 adults just behaving normally? We just drink normally & like evening meal out, not fussed about day trips either, we just want to do very little.
I would be very grateful for some advice, thank you.
Olympic HERE
Will it be hot? Yes, probably 30s. If it's too warm for exploring, then you can spend a couple of hours in a bar overlooking the harbour, watching the boats with a Mythos or two. Don't want to overdo these things.
Olympic probably have the best deals around at the moment. We have been with them a couple of times and are returning this year. They have a few resorts in Rhodes. I see that they have, as an example, 2 weeks with flights, transfers and accommodation for £326 per person . Have a look at Will it be hot? Yes, probably 30s.

Wow thanks, they really are good value! Do you know that if I do not book by tomorrow (they all seem to say book by April 30th), will they go up drastically?
Sun Studios and Marianthi have great locations, quiet but just a short stroll from the village centre or beach. If you're beach lovers then Avra is ideal, right by the main beach!
Lindos is very hot in July though it's hottest at the end of July - early August. Most studios offer air conditioning (around 50 euros a week) so your room shouldn't be uncomfortable and if you have a sunlounger close to the sea just keep jumping in every time you feel the heat is too much, that's what I do
I tend to spend about 60-70 euros a day (for 1). That covers my sunbed, a small lunch, 2 course dinner with wine, drinks all night and a pizza, bowl of pasta or similar in the early hours. You can spend a little less if you only eat/drink in the cheaper places but I forget any budgeting when I'm on holiday! I know you're not planning on any trips but Rhodes Town is worth a vist and only 4.50 each way on the bus. As for prices increasing after April 30th that's anybody's guess, it all depends on how bookings are going this year. Hope all that helps
Marvelous thank you. I rang Olympic to see what I would save by booking now, up to £40 pp. they said though it may go up or down in price if I wait. I don't know what to do & apart from that, I cannot find my one credit card that isn't maxed -hopefully I will by tomorrow!
