I felt safe, it was a very good experience overall. The island is not too big, so you can be satisfied after a week, but still be able to come back and discover more. It’s really pretty and you should visit the old part.

I felt that Rhodes old town was safe to walk around in both during the days and night. I was wish with my girlfriend and we didn’t have any guys pulling and following us like in other countries I have been in. 

The food was really good, I live Greek food. I am also gluten intolerant and almost every retrace both pizza and pasta the was gluten free and they where really helpful with explaining what was in the food. I really love the green people m, I think k they are nice and always very helpful. 

I will do my first solo trip to Rhodes in April, and felt safe and thought it was a good place to to my first solo trip ☀️🌴

I found Rhodes to be incredibly expensive, even compared to Santorini and Mykonos. I also got the impression that the island is more geared towards families and older people, rather than a younger audience. However, I loved that there were cats everywhere on the island.
