George’s Surfers Home is like staying with a good friend.. you feel right at home the minute you enter! George’s father met us and was very charming and spoke english well... he showed us the apartment and the extra special touches George had for us ( appetizers , drinks and snacks) He is a very proud father ( as well he should be) . Then George showed up and he was twice as charming and spoke REALLY good english. He continued the introduction and even walked with us to the end of the street where the view was magnificent .. with the beach, new town and pointed us to sights of interest! Being fellow vacation rental hosts we had a lot to talk about... George is very active in the community with the preservation and education of the architecture of Greece... his passion is very genuine. The Surfers Home represents his love of interior design and eclectic style.. both of which Russell and I love too!
The courtyard was a nice are where we enjoyed a few games of Yahtzee and a drink or 2. We also prepared a meal one evening and the kitchen was very adequate. The bedroom is cozy and clean as was the bathroom. Great water pressure and heat! We even did a bit of laundry.
We visited the old town of Rhodes which was truly magical.... lots of walking and exploring. One day we jumped on the double decker bus and went all around the New town and old.. we acquainted ourselves with Rhodes.
We were within walking distance to a few restaurants and a store. We were craving a steak and went to El Toro via taxi ( which we flagged down..Russ is from NY .. he’s really good at that!) . The steak was amazing and the staff kind and accommodating.
Rhodes is an amazing city steeped full of history and beauty... we will remember it fondly and hold our time at George’s Surfers Home close to our hearts!
