Archangelos, in the northeast of Rhodes, is a labyrinth of narrow streets lined with traditional houses and courtyard gardens bejewelled with flowers. The locals are well-known for their hospitality, with visitors being welcomed into shops and bars, and tavernas offering regional food, free-flowing wine, and traditional dancing into the night.
Olive oil production is one of the local industries of the area, and foodies will delight in visiting the town’s olive oil factory. More adventurous types can explore the ‘Jungle of Rhodes’, with guides available to take you into the butterfly and fruit-filled wilderness.
Archangelos has all the best of Rhodes' beauty and charm without the crowds that flock to the main resorts. The town lies 2 km inland, offering both elevated views and easy access to the coast at Stegna. Stegna Beach and Tsambika Beach are only a short drive away, as are the cool lakes and waterfalls of Seven Springs nature park.
