Comments Off on What to Know About the Casino of Rhodes
Rhodes is one of those Greek islands that seems to have been transported to another place. It has a rich history, and it is also the largest of the Dodecanese Island group. One of the places people like to visit while coming to the island is the Casino of Rhodes. Here helpful facts about what you need to do in order to enjoy the casino during your stay on the island.
Getting to the Casino of Rhodes
The easiest way to get to the island of Rhodes is to fly there from the city of Athens, but it is also possible to reach the island by ferry. However, the ferry ride to Rhodes takes a lot longer than the flight, which usually take less than an hour from other cities in Greece.
Flying into the Diagoras International Airport is the quickest and easiest way to reach the Casino of Rhodes, which is located adjacent to the Grande Albergo delle Rose Boutique Hotel Complex. Both the casino and hotel can be reached in about 15 minutes from the Diagoras Airport by automobile, and both are within walking distance from Rhodes Harbor. A ferry ride to the latter from Santorini’s mainland is also an option if time is not an issue.
About the Casino of Rhodes
The casino offers 1,700 square miles of gaming. This two-floor casino has been extensively renovated so that its ancient architecture can be enjoyed by visitors. Because its appearance is somewhat similar to a palace, many people visit this landmark whether or not they are interested in gaming. The hotel and casino are quite popular among tourists, as both establishments strive to define the hospitable environment for which the island of Rhodes is renowned.
