Lindian Village, Rhodes

Advantages: wonderful cheap break
Disadvantages: basic facilities

...beds, often jammed together, a tiny wardrobe, and self-catering facilities consisting of 2 electric hotplates, a kitchen sink and a fridge. The bathroom will contain a loo, a little bin for loo paper or anything else (Greek plumbing has declined since the ancients quit), and a hose attached to the wall (known as a shower). There may be some sort of tray to stand in, but you will always find a drain in the floor too, it is basically intended as a wet room. Remember to remove your clothes, towel and loo roll! Buildings are tightly packed in the old village, and accommodation reflects this too. Expect to be able to clean your teeth, make an endlessly slow cup of coffee and open the front door without rising from your little camp bed. You may also have a ‘Lindian’ pebble mosaic floor, which look fantastic but are unforgiving... Read review

The Rodos Village is a 5 star all-inclusive resort which is situated in the east west coast of the island. We took a taxi from the airport to the hotel (this was a pre-paid transfer from our holiday provider) The taxi took around an hour to get to the hotel.

We got to the hotel at around 6am. There are not only steps up to the hotel, but also a ramp. It was quite steep but it meant that I could wheel my bag up instead of carrying up the steps (always good if you're tired!) Check in was quick. No one was around at that time since it was so early... Read review

Disadvantages: Euro has made it a little more expensive

...Last year we were unsure where to go for our holiday so off to the travel agents we went for a last minute deal – 149.00 each the travel agent said – Rhodes for 1 week in June. Sounded wonderful, but we didn’t know where we were going to end up. We got on the plane and landed at Rhodes airport. “Where are we going to?” I asked. “St Paul’s” came the reply. I had never heard of it. Onto the bus we got and came to a little tiny village about ¾ of an hour from Rhodes town. “Lindos” the coach driver called and we were huddled off the bus and lead through a maze of tiny houses and apartments, all similar looking. “Oh dear” we thought! LINDOS I must admit that on first sight I was not too sure about Lindos. My previous holiday had been on the party island of Ibiza and this was such a stark contrast. However, after a few...
