Pantelis‘ apartment is beautifully located in Ixia (near Ialysos) on the north-western part of the island and a perfect starting point for visiting the most important sites such as Rhodes city (10 minutes by car), Filerimos (20 minutes), the valley of Petaloudes (30 minutes) or Kamiros (45 minutes). The location also lies close to the mountains, so it is suitable for trips into wonderful, mostly unscathed landscape where you will hardly meet other tourists. Even the north-eastern side of Rhodes can easily be reached (Kallithea springs, the Faliraki area). For the South-East (including Lindos) we would recommend a second location if you don’t want to spend your time travelling.
From the sleeping rooms and the spacious balcony, the apartment features an amazing view onto the sea with Turkey in the hazy distance and the beach is only 50 m away. A big supermarket, shops and tavernas are at a 2 minutes walking distance and although the streets are buzzing with life, the apartment is relatively quiet (“relatively” only because the nearby hotel entertains its guests with activities from morning sports to evening karaoke), but we found this quite amusing and it didn’t overshadow our stay. The kitchen plus cooking equipment and the bathroom are okay and fully serve their purpose but nothing elegant or stylish.
Pantelis, apart from being a nice person (our flight was late and he picked us up at the bus stop at around midnight!), is also a very attentive host and always available to fix whatever problems might arise. In fact, we had some small issues with electricity and hot water but only due to a lack of prior explanation (some written indications would be useful!) so they were solved immediately. All in all, a perfect stay in a lovely location, and highly recommended!
