Live Like a Local in Rhodes - Blue Bay Holiday Village

By Steve Alexander


Many people want to relax on holiday but they are also a great chance to get to know another culture. Rhodes is home to some excellent hotels, such as the Blue Bay Holiday Village, which allow you to explore the region and get to know its people. Tourists in Rhodes will be able to combine the best of tourist convenience and local life.

Find out from the locals which restaurants they eat at in order to avoid the tourist-traps on the main streets. Ordering Mezthes is a great way to try different traditional foods, and this platter is often ideal as a family starter to share. Why not follow the locals and go out for a long Sunday lunch with the family, just like they do.

You don't have to be a tourist to visit the water park in Rhodes. The rides, slides and swimming pools are a perfect way to enjoy the hot Greek weather and local children love Aqua Park as much as any kid. The Aqua Park is right in the hotel complex if you're staying at the Blue Bay Deluxe Complex Rhodes Waterpark and guests have several opportunities for free entry.

Celebrating is what the Greeks love to do most and there will be all kinds of festivals and events held all year round. The International Medieval Rose festival celebrates the history of the island through exhibitions, storytelling evenings, street pageants, music and feasts. It is one of the lesser-known (but much beloved by locals) events in Rhodes.

Enjoy the benefits of all inclusive hotels but also get out and discover what those who live in Rhodes love about it. Even if you only have a chance to escape your hotel for a quiet cuppa in a coffee bar while chatting to locals, you'll suddenly get a greater sense of this beautiful, friendly island.
