Villa Olive Grove is in a great location for exploring. It's only a 15 minute walk to Afandou beach with several fish tavernas nearby. And if you rent a car, it's very close to the dual carriageway, which takes you from Rhodes to Lindos (and further south). The Seven Springs, the Rhodes Toy Museum, the Faliraki Water Park and Kalithea Springs are all within easy driving distance. To walk into Afandou town you need to cross the dual carriageway (either through the gap in the crash barrier in the middle, as Stefanos helpfully pointed out, or go along the small back streets and cross over the bridge near Katholiki restaurant, a longer route but if you are feeling faint hearted about crossing the dual carriageway you might prefer that route).
The apartment has everything you'd need for a relaxed beach holiday, and a balcony with a drying rack.
Stefanos was very helpful in checking hire car availability in the area, recommending places to go and offering to pick me up or drop me off at the Afandou Bridge bus stop. He also gave me a lift to the supermarket and explained how to get back to the apartment.
