While often known for its party side, holidays to Rhodes, one of the Dodecanese Islands, are also ideal for families looking to enjoy a beach holiday. Although Rhodes airport and Rhodes town are in the north, you'll find many of the popular tourist resorts like Faliraki, Kolymbia and Lindos, are dotted along the southern coast of the island where there are some fantastic beaches to be enjoyed. If you love to explore, head inland or to the west/north of the island where you'll find quieter Greek towns like Mandriko and Monolithos.
Flying to Rhodes from the UK takes around 4.5 hours direct and many airlines offer direct flights, including the low-cost ones like Ryanair and easyJet. Once on the island, if you're planning to just enjoy spending time in the sunshine by the pool, you're best bet is to book an airport transfer in advance. This can be very affordable and easy, especially if you've got kids to herd around.
If you prefer to get out an explore, hiring a car is a good option, giving you the freedom and flexibility to discover Rhodes in your own time and at your own pace. Don't worry though, there are taxis on the island and you can also organise excursions once you're in resort at your hotel.
