Theologos is about 22 km from Rhodes Old Town.

A few hotels and apartments are near the pretty but slightly breezy beach. This is more traditional village than tourism precinct and the locals are warm and friendly people.

The old centre of Tholos is built in traditional Rhodian style. With tall shuttered buildings and narrow streets, Theologos (Tholos) village is a nice place to wander through.

Nearby is Petaloudes and it's butterflies, Paradisi, and on the coast Soroni. just west of Soroni is Fanes with its picturesque boat harbour, a flat isolated beach and shady tamarisk trees.

Lying off the west coast of Rhodes near Glyfada Bay is Alimia Island and the nearby but smaller Tragousa, Stogili and Makri islands.

• Afandou - One of the big villages on the island. The golf course of Rhodes is situated in this area along with a long beach
• Archangelos - The second largest town on the island
• Asklipio - inland village, site of an old church and a castle
• Faliraki - Rhodes' "action resort". Go there to party, everything else is better somewhere else - although the hotels north from faliraki are much quieter. Nice beaches, a lot less winds than on the west coast and really good public transport. Hotels near the water park do not interest clubbers, and are really family friendly.
• Ixia - West coast resorts, close to Paradisi and Tholos, nearby to the airport.
• Rhodes city - The biggest city on the island and seat of the local government
