Rhodes runs the full spectrum: gently shelving sand at Lindos and Tsambika for the bucket brigade, windsurfing at Prasonisi — where two seas meet — for teenagers, and a medieval Old Town whose walls, moats and drawbridges out-imagine any theme park. The acropolis above Lindos rewards an early climb, donkeys optional and best declined. Book a beachfront base on the calmer east coast; with sunshine into late October, it's the strongest half-term bet in the Aegean.
