Lindos Sun Hotel, Rhodes

Advantages: wonderful cheap break
Disadvantages: basic facilities

...on bare feet. A lot of people complain about the standard of accommodation in apartments on the island, but you don’t go to Lindos to sit in your room, and you get what you pay for – there are hotels if you want more. Most rooms aren’t air conditioned, but some have wonderful huge ceiling fans which inhibit the insects as well as cooling the air, and fans can be hired quite cheaply around the town. Every room we have stayed in in Rhodes has been kept spotlessly clean for us. We spent our second week in Rhodes a few km north of Lindos in the quieter resort of Haraki. This used to be a fishing village, and is now the site of a clean, quiet pebble beach, some friendly bars and a couple of excellent tavernas. The accommodation had a similar level of specification but a lot more elbow room, including a veranda with table... 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.

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...

Advantages: Small, friendly and quite(ish)
Disadvantages: None

...This little town on the island of Rhodes is absolutely beautiful. In fact that telling other tourists about this village would be a mistake as the more tourists that visit it the less special it will be. As a rule I decided a few years ago that i would never go back to the same place on holiday as there are just too many places in the world to visit. However, Lindos breaks that rule. This little town is totally pedestrianised as its streets are very narrow. The streets all have grape vines covering them and this keeps all the stalls, locals and tourists cool from the sun. The town is overlooked by the magnificent Acropolis, which dominates the area and is an interesting afternoons entertianment. For the evening there are loads of beautiful roof top restaurants to chose from and quite a few bars. Our favorite was the Lindos by Night... Read review
