Whenever we look for holiday accommodation, we always have one thing in mind – the place we stay in has to have character and not just be a standard apartment in a boring block. Nikolaos's place certainly fulfils that requirement – the very accurate pictures in the listing show a house full of character, which has been well restored and is well fitted out. It is in the old part of the city but only a short walk to restaurants, shops and all the sights - as well as all of Rhodes Town’s harbours. So whether you want to take a ferry to another island, a pleasure cruise or a fishing trip, you’ll find what you are looking for in close proximity!

Nikolaos is a charming and thoughtful host – he organised a taxi to pick us up at the airport as our flight didn’t arrive until 10pm and we weren’t that confident about getting into Rhodes Town under our own steam and recommended a local restaurant which would still be open and where we could get good food at a good price. He supplied us with plenty of excellent information about places to go and what we might like to see on our first visit to the island.

He was often around to answer questions and offer help, which was especially useful when our flight home was postponed for 24 hours, owing to a Greek Air Traffic Control strike. Nikolaos allowed us to stay in the house for an extra night which he didn’t have to do and was very kind of him.

I’d recommend this accommodation to anyone who, like us, doesn’t enjoy staying in an regular apartment and looks for somewhere a little out of the ordinary.
