We stayed as a family group of six and the Villa Sylvia was a fabulous stay for us. The location was perfect for us and we had a hired a car. The Villa has been extended and refurbished to a high level, It is modern, spotless and very clean throughout. The Hosts, Christina and Lamprini made every effort to make our stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible.
Having both a pool and the beach at the end of the garden was one of the highlights of our stay. The beach is completely uncrowded and is mixture of sand and pebbles. The stones can be hot, so it is recommended you take some beach footwear. The Villa itself was well equipped and we wanted for nothing. There are shops and restaurants just a couple of minutes drive in Gennadi or take a stroll to The Lighthouse for drinks and food. We also walked to Vayia restaurant and had a warm welcome from Peter and Nicholas ( twins) who are enthusiastic and attentive.
We found the best time to visit Lindos was in the early evening when the crowds and heat have subsided to a more manageable level.Don’t try and park near the beach, unless you have someone with mobility problems as it can get extremely busy . We drove on past the left turning and found a gravel area with free parking . From here you can walk down to Lindos. Many roof top restaurants available but get there earlier in the evening or book as many can be reserved or booked from 8:00pm.
Supermarkets can be found in Gennadi or just along the road towards Kiotari, (look for Sofos) We practically lived off the wonderful pitta bread( toasted) with Tzatziki and fresh salad. Neighbouring Villa ( to the right) is owned by a friendly Greek family. He has a boat and fishes most mornings and offers his catch to one of the local restaurants. If you like to BBQ and self cater, It might be worth asking him what he has!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would not hesitate to recommend it.
