If you are in search for an ecologically friendly, cat-friendly, fruit-vegetable-farm-like piece of calm and quiet land with a host so friendly – you'll probably never find again – search no more. This is probably the best place in Rhodes.
The green eco house, hosted by Petros, is a piece of land you can reach via a dirtroad and where you can relax in the hammock while under the wine-roof looking at the stars or clear blue sky. The house is on its way to be fully ecologically sustainable and its owner is doing a perfect job.
You'l find yourself in the middle of nowhere at the foot of mount Profit Ilias, located near the small village of Salakos. Also you're not far from everything. 15min to the supermarket by car or 5min to the minimarket in the village square. 10 minutes t the windy side of the sea with kite-spots all over the place and somewhat like 30minutes to the other, more touristic east of the island with all it's beaches and sunbeds to pay for.
Petros, the owner, is a wonderful soul and will help you in any way you want it to – or not, if you don't need guidance or a cool tip for a nice place to eat or to watch the sun go down. He lives in the souterain flat and most likely will be there, in the Salakos square or "the office". We had a wonderful time with him and were positively surprised by his hospitality and ecological thinking. We made a friend.
Wonderful:
the walk through the butterlfy river, the Kritinia Castle, the Kritinia Restaurant-Tip, the Kite-Beach, the sundowns, the roads through the mountains, Salakos square and so much so see at the house.
Thanks for the most pleasant AirBnB stay yet.
Much love from Hamburg!
