    Impressive work in progress
    This Acropolis is in the process of being renovated. However, there is plenty of room to wander about & see. The theatre is an impressive reproduction & the stadium is big. Lovely views of the coastline just outside the site as it’s situated on a hill. Plenty of cats & calmness!

    Some great history to see
    Great visit however i felt it was a little pricey, 12EUROS per person for visiting, and your not there long so not sure its value for money, in having said there where else would you see this history? So i guess they can charge what they like, and im sure the funds go towards the restoration and up keep. Make sure you have your camera ready if you do visit theres some great views up at the top and some great history too.

    Shame about the scaffolding
    We visited this on same day as Olympic stadium as they adjoin each other. Not many signposts to indicate its whereabouts. Unfortunately it was clad in scaffolding as some sort of restoration underway. Like the stadium there were no information boards giving information about its history. The site is above the stadium and involved some walking on rough steep ground to reach it from the stadium. I would recommend choosing a cool day as it’s quite a walk.

    So worth a visit!!
    We loved this. It was out of season and we were one of a few there. It was very quiet. Lovely little room containing the history, a toilet too. Fascinating history and well worth a visit. Lots and lots of cats, we met a lady there and she looks after all the cats twice a day every day. So heartwarming and they all look so well cared for. She takes them to the vets if they need it and they are all flead and wormed. Such a lovely thing ❤️

    Beautiful, Historical, and Mostly Accessible
    Absolutely stunning. It would have been better if we could have gone closer to the Temple of Apollo, but it is undergoing some repairs. That said, the space is a beautiful area with plenty to see, between the Temple of Apollo, Temple of Artemis ruins, stadium, gymnasium ruins, and amphitheater. The temples are visible for travelers with physical limitations only from the top, with a pathway through woods or down stairs to get to the rest. The stadium, assorted ruins, and amphitheater require a walking distance but it is largely flat and accessible with walking aides or wheelchairs. It is largely open space though, so wear sunscreen!

    Worth the visit . . .
    The Acropolis of Rhodes must have been spectacular in it's heyday . . . and it's not too shabby now. I do smile when I read people complaining about the visible scaffolding whilst renovation / preservation work is being carried out - what exactly do they expect to happen? The grounds are lovely (if not that easy to get into) and it have one of the few places on the island with a free toilet AND a reasonably priced cafe.

    Ok
    A bit disappointed tbh! 3 pillars with scaffolding. The driver who dropped us “ if it’s not good I can take you to old town”. I got down , took couple of pics and went to old town for an extra five euros. The Acropolis of Lindos is a lot better . So you have a choice of few Acropolis to look around.

    The Acropolis of Rhodes. Few ancient elements, but impressive.
    Few ancient elements, but impressive. The temple dedicated to Apollo was under renovation, but the amphitheater and stadium were spectacular. I imagine an ancient theater play with a grand setting, or an athletics race with the participants in Adam's costume! Too bad about the RODA public transport in Rhodes, few rides, hard to decipher the bus route and the number, complicated with the purchase of tickets.

    Worth visiting.
    Lots of building work going on in this area ,and it appears that it may soon become a pay to visit area ,which is fair. fantastic views over the old town when you arrive there. Quite a few ancient relics to see,nice walks, but nothing on a grand scale unfortunately easy parking,also easy walk from Rhodes old town. very expensive Cafe. worth a visit if your able but i would not purposely go out of your way unless you love the history, as to be fair it's not that spectacular, but nice to see.

    Beautiful and full of history. Rhodes is a fantastic and interesting island. Amazing that these columns have stood for thousands of year. It must please Apollo, god of the sun, as it was very warm, very bright and very beautiful

We were on the Hop On Hop Off Bus Tour and our first Hop Off was to see the beautifully constructed Acropolis of Rhodes. Covering a very large are the Acropolis itself stands very proud at the Highest Point with terrific views across the Town and Aegean Sea. Well worth a Visit and an absolute must if you love your Greek History.

A relatively short walk from the centre of Old Rhodes town. Surprisingly free entry,in mid September. The main surviving pillars are encased in scaffolding (2022) but the remaining building open. Go through some of the individual stones some carry original engravings.

.... you will find the rest of these temple. Only a few columns are left but you can imagine how huge the building was in the old days. Unbelievable how they managed to build something like that. Take your time to imagine the beauty of this place a long time ago.

Short walk from the hop on hop off bus nearest stop. It is mostly ruins but with a lot of re-construction work on the arena part. It was great to be able to walk around the actual site. I used the GPSmyCity app to use as a walkign guide. Even in the peak summer there isn't a lot of foot traffic.

The walk up to here can be done either from Rhodes Old Town or from the opposite end where the row of hotels are. The walk up is challenging but nice. Also the views you get over the main bay are spectacular and worth the effort.

The ruins themselves are a bit of a damp squib - the Temple of Apollo consists of one tower surrounded by scaffolding so views are limited, its also cordoned off so you cant really get to it.

The cinema and what looks like a Chariots of Fire style racing trace are more impressive and you can walk around these freely.

It's worth the climb but those expecting to see statues and lost greek treasures are going to be disappointed.

Clearly great historical significance, however the Acropolis structure was behind scaffolding when we visited. Still worth a visit.

Parking at the top of the hill is free and easy.

Extremely poor access for prams and wheelchairs, though looks like they might be attempting to improve this. Even more difficult if you are attempting to visit the stadium at the bottom of the hill.
