My wife and son (7) and daughter (9) stayed at Dimitris’ place in Koskinou for 10 days in September and it was a true joy we will long remember.
If you are a couple, family, or small group and are looking for a true Greek island village experience, this place is perfect.
The place is a true traditional Greek island cottage, some 200 years old, with the traditional great room arch and stone floors. It had everything we needed and we ate both inside and outside often.
Returning to the village each night was pure joy. Whether we spend the afternoon At the beach or in a busier tourist area like Rhodes or Lindos, it was a relief to get out of the crowd and come back to the village. Our kids would often run up to Fortis’ corner store on their own to grab something or head out and feed some cats and we’re perfectly safe wandering the narrow pathways of the old village. With many tavernas (we ended up at La Mantala multiple nights, half a block away)
In short Greek island life is remarkable, and Koskinou is all you might expect and more. So many reasons why anyone would want to come, it might be more helpful for me to try and think of reasons why you shouldn’t book now.
1) You prefer to stay in busier and more tourist heavy areas or are looking for nightclub type bars.
2) You don’t have a car rental. You can have a great relaxing time in Koskinou but the public transit is not good enough to see all the great things Rhodes has to offer.
3) you have trouble going down larger steps. There are three moderately large steps to get down to the entry from the road level and no rail. Most people will not even think twice about this and I only do because Im a Physical therapist. You know if you have some significant mobility issues going down stairs and if this going to be a problem you should know about it beforehand.
Can’t think of anything other possibility....
Thanks Dimitri!
Have a great time in Koskinou!
