Hi All!
We will be visiting Rhodes for a week in July to celebrate a wedding and there will be a few events for the wedding party that we wont be apart of, so we will have some free time to explore the island! Would love any and all restaurant recommendations and must see sights while on the island. We will be staying at the Sheraton- are taxis the easiest way to get around?
We ate at a special restaurant in Rhodes Town. It was a referral to us from a chef in the U.S. whom we know personally.
We went and returned two more times! The food was so delicious!
Hatzikelis Seafood Restaurant, located near the port. Owner is Billy Vasileios.
Google will find it and its exact location.
hatzikelis.com to see the menu.
Rhodes is the largest of Greece’s Dodecanese Islands. We used taxis or their equivalent. Go visit Lindos too while there.
I can’t give you any restaurant suggestions but Lindos is worth a visit!!! It is beautiful!
My BF and I spent a day in Rhodes last week and enjoyed wandering around the charming old town. Lots of historic sites and cute shops. Since you asked about restaurants, wanted to alert you to a tourist trap where we had an unfortunate experience and very expensive lunch.
The Castello Family Restaurant & Bar is at the edge of old town near the cruise port. We were looking for a gyro and they featured one on the menu. The proprietor was overly friendly, talked us out of the gyro, and said he’d fix us up with an authentic Greek lunch. We waited 45 minutes and the guy finally delivered a huge platter of grilled mystery meat. Honestly, it all looked and tasted the same. He said it was chicken, beef, lamb, and some sort of sausage. There was enough to feed 6 people. We were hungry but the platter was overwhelming and unappetizing. We ate about 20% of it. The bill was 67.50 euros for the meat platter and 2 cokes. After the fact I checked Trip Advisor and sure enough there were a lot of negative reviews on this tourist trap. Just a heads up, beware.
