Hilton Rhodes Resort

Place and Hotel

 Experience your most memorable vacation in Greece on the magnificent island of Rhodes while playing Bridge with world champion Fulvio Fantoni.
Rhodes: a place where forest-clad mountains tower over a sparkling blue sea, where history and legend rub shoulders with the best of all modern amenities for leisure and which has been known for 2000 years as the island of the sun. Enjoy your stay at the Hilton Rhodes Resort (where tournaments will take place) or at the Amathus Beach Hotel Rhodes. Both hotels are among the most luxurious hotels on the island.
