We had a lovely stay here, nick is a great host, always available and very friendly. The house is ideal if you want a peaceful spot with a beautiful view with Old Rhodes town only about 15 mins away by car.
The house has everything you need, kitchen is well provisioned, WiFi and tv in every room. Garden is very well maintained and it overlooks the beautiful hills to the south. If you’re feeling energetic I’d recommend walking up the hill to the monastery, about 45 mins if you take the right route! Definitely take a big bottle of water though..
The best beaches are on the east side of the island, we drove there frequently with no problems. Tsampika beach was our favourite, Edem tavern on the way in to it is very good value, excellent food and friendly. You have to pay to get into Kallithea springs, however, it’s tiny, rammed, no where to sit, food is over priced and we thought it was all a bit of a waste of time.
Lalysos-5 mins drive- is lively, loads of restaurants, bars and shops - as you’d expect.
There are loads of large supermarkets near by, the best we found - on or last day- is an unassuming one on the main road to Rhodes on the right hand side BEFORE the Spa, called AB something..
