Archangelos Village

Rhodes Archangelos

Rhodes Archangelos

Welcome to Archangelos!

If you’re traveling south from Rhodes Town and along the east coast of the island, you’ll find the third largest town on the island called Archangelos, named after Archangel Michael. This inland hillside town (160 meters above sea level) boasts of a population of just under 8,000 inhabitants, who are primarily involved in farming, agriculture and tourism. Additionally, the town has a long history of pottery making, which continues today.

The town itself is a collection of smaller hamlets, some of which date to the Hellenistic period. There are the ruins of a medieval fortress (1454), built by the Knights Hospitallers, and further inland near Laerma, you’ll find the Monastery of Thari, one of the most significant Byzantine monuments on the island, and dedicated to Archangel Michael.
