Once home to a 108-feet-tall, blazing bronze statue of the sun god Helios, Rhodes attracted people far and wide to bask in the burning gaze of their favorite deity. Although the so-called Colossus is no more, sun seekers still flock to bathe in the glow of Helios' golden rays, just as they did centuries ago, drawn not only to the sun but also to the island's rich culture and historic charm.
While this led to an abundance of all-inclusive, family-friendly resorts, unlike the islands of Santorini and Mykonos, which are home to some of the best design hotels in the world, Rhodes has, until recently, been somewhat lacking in true interiors-led, luxury properties. Then came Casa Cook Rhodes.
