We spent the last days of our holidays in Eleousa to find some peace after being in the “tourist jungle” of Rhodes Old Town before. However, we have to agree with preceding reviews that although Eleousa is a very quiet area off the typical tourists, the neighbourhood is very, very, very noisy. There were several dogs as well as roosters barking in the neighbourhood regardless of the time (day AND night). Thus, our nights were unfortunately not at all relaxing which is a pity, as the house is located with a very beautiful view. The house was clean, but we can also affirm that the lower cupboards in the kitchen, especially the one under the sink smell like wet walls. This is, however, not a major drawback. What we found irritating was the lack of dishes and cutlery. We only had 3 knives, which meant washing the dishes every day. In addition, if really 5 people would want to spent time in the apartment, there wouldn’t be enough dishes and cutlery for everyone. Additionally, we had some troubles to find the house. There are simply no street names and/or numbers in Eleousa so we were given a Google Maps instruction to find the house. However, GPS is also not always working properly in the area, which is why we were driving like 30 min around to find the place. Nevertheless, Konstantinos was so kind to guide us and also to talk for us via phone with locals, who helped us to find the house (they are all very kind people, who invited us directly for a cup of coffee ). The interior looks different at a first glance compared to the photos. The reason for this is that the photos are well edited using a nice filter and good lightning (as a manager of a tourist place, Konstantinos knows how to “sell” things). This was a first a negative point for us, but we adapted to the situation very quickly. You should be aware that there is no shower in the apartment but only a bath tub with no option to fix the shower head. However, it is enough to get clean… ;-)
Overall, we enjoyed our stay despite the above mentioned drawbacks. We can recommend the apartment although you should be aware of the noisy neighbourhood.
