• 7.Anthony Quinn Bay — A tiny, dazzling cove of turquoise water over rocks, ringed by pines — named after the Hollywood star who fell for it while filming 'The Guns of Navarone' here. Snorkel the clear shallows off the rocks; small and popular, so come early, but one of the prettiest swims on the island.
• 10.Faliraki nightlife — Rhodes' party central — Faliraki's bar street is a loud, cheap-drinks, young-crowd strip of clubs and bars that runs till dawn in high summer. Not for everyone, but if you want a big, boozy night out on the island, this is the place; the town's own New Town bars are a tamer alternative.
• 11.Tsambika Beach — A long crescent of fine golden sand and shallow, warm water backed by a headland topped with a little monastery — one of the island's best family beaches. Climb the 300 steps to the clifftop Tsambika monastery for a huge coastal view, then reward yourself with a swim; a lovely day on the east coast.
• 17.Seven Springs — A shady inland oasis near Kolymbia — seven natural springs feeding streams and a lake through pine woods, with a narrow, pitch-dark water tunnel you can wade through to reach it. A cool, green escape from the beach heat and a fun one with kids; there's a taverna by the water for lunch under the planes.
