We absolutely loved our stay at Giorgo's little house. There is everything to love about it. It's fantastic structure, it's lovely quaint and private garden, the church bells on sundays, the cobble stone in the living area dating from 1902, the soft green of the trimmings, the high ceilings, the everything. Giorgo was also wonderful communicating during the booking and not being pushy - but patient with our booking for 1 6 days. He was easy to contact and the check in was a breeze.
Not only was the house charming and inviting and perfect but the cobble stoned town of koskinou high up - with its cool air and wind at night, the church bells peeling on Sundays and the lovely crooked streets.
We speak Greek so it was easy to communicate with the villagers who were friendly and kind. We bought our coffees in the plateia and had dinner at Giannis' taverna. We actually wished we had more time to just spend in the village itself.
We drove to many outskirt beaches and enjoyed the route - and the outskirts of Rhodes. Having spent many summers there as children the town has changed a lot as have it's inner city areas. However once out of the But we have to say we never thought we'd fall in love with koskinou village and the town people but we did. We highly recommend visiting and staying here, and mostly so at Giorgo's lovely, peaceful ,ideallic home.
We want to move city the tour of Rhodes by car is highly suggested. We loved that so much. We bought oil made in Siana, and soaps - and just enjoyed chatting with the local people.
We visited the town of Siana, Filerimos, Lindos, Vati, Kalathos, Kiotari, Agathi. There were some beaches that have just been so overpopulated that we wouldn't go there , but we found our way around using the above and knew if we wanted the best we had to travel a bit to get there.....but it was well worth it.
We live in Canada, so beaches were important, however the small towns, and villages, the drive throughout Rhodes, the tavernas and delicious foods were all a part of this trip.
We want to move!
