We stayed in Ilias's house for 15 days and it way AMAZING ! The house is just perfect, in a calm neigbourhood but near of the center AND the beach. There is litteraly everything you need in this appartement and the hosts are really lovely ! They came multiple time to ask us if everything was ok, to give us advices et good places to go, they are full of good intentions. I will highly recommend to go to rhodes cause it's a beautiful island and to stay at Ilias's appartement !
But if you go, rent a car, it's way more practical to see the island in a good way !
