My host kindly picked us up from the ferryboat as he had offered. The host's family lives downstairs and always asked if we needed anything or had any problems when we saw each other. We stayed a total of five weeks at the apartment which was very functional and catered for all our needs. The neighbourhood in which we stayed was a fairly quiet suburban area... but not too quiet to be boring... a nice street lined with trees. It gave us the opportunity to see normal Greeks in their everyday habitat and we felt very much at home and relaxed. There is a big supermarket at the end of the street, and this seemed like a meeting place for the local Greeks. Funnily, we always enjoyed our frequent visits to the supermarket. The locals are very respectful of foreigners and always helped us get back home when we got a little lost in our early days venturing outside. There seems to be a tight bond between the locals, and neighbours liked to chat to each other outside their houses. This community spirit made us feel very secure and we never felt at risk from possible theft or otherwise. The host's family are very friendly but never imposed themselves on us. The host's mother, much to our surprise and delight, now and again shared her delicious home cooking with us. The host was always ready to answer any questions we may have had, and we knew that if we had run into any trouble, he would be there to help us out. The host's family are really nice people who cared for us and we are very grateful for the kindness they showed us. The apartment was no more or less than what we expected. The apartment is within easy walking distance of the old town. When we hired a car or an ATV we were always able to find parking space outside the apartment house. The apartment has a long balcony at which is quite pleasant to sit in the warm evenings. The apartment is very close to the sea on the east side and there are several quality café bars there which face the sea and which I strongly recommend. Next to these café bars is the Public store which sells technology products, stationary products and books etc. To hire ATVs and cars, we would walk to the port area in front of the old town's sea walls where there our car rentals, pick up the car, put in a little petrol (goes a long way here in Greece) from the BP garage there and then drive down the coast road to Faliraki, Butterflies valley, Tsambika and Lindos.Overall, we had a great time in Rhodes, We felt we really got to know the island well and also Greek culture. It was a shame it all had to come to an end and we had to leave. I have got nothing negative to say about the apartment of any...
