Best Souvlaki & Gyros
in Rhodes
Souvlaki and gyros are the fast-food foundation of the island, found on almost every street corner in Rhodes. Souvlaki consists of small pieces of grilled meat (usually pork or chicken) on a skewer, while gyros is meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie and thinly sliced. Both are typically served wrapped in a warm, fluffy pita with tomatoes, onions, tzatziki, and—uniquely in Greece—a handful of crispy French fries tucked inside. Order it as **'ena pork souvlaki pita me ap'ola'** (one pork souvlaki pita with everything) for the classic experience. The trap in Rhodes is the "photo-board" shops in the high-traffic Old Town squares that use frozen meat; look for a shop where the vertical gyro cone is handmade and visibly fresh. A pita wrap usually costs €4.50–€6.00.
