We're aren't the only ones for whom Mavriko is the first choice for a memorable meal in Lindos. Other notable fans have included Nelson Rockefeller and Jackie Kennedy. More recently, in July 2000, King Abdullah of Jordan, when visiting Rhodes, had his private yacht sail to Lindos just to eat his supper here at Mavriko. Over the years, the restaurant and expansive shaded terrace have retained their special rustic charm -- David Gilmore of Pink Floyd was so furious when they brought in new, modern chairs that Michalis quickly restored and returned the originals.
...Warm climate, warm welcome, beautiful scenery and INCREDIBLY good value – you can’t ask much more from a summer holiday, which probably explains why we have recently returned from our 3rd visit to Rhodes.
The first time my husband and I went to Rhodes was in 1997 as a result of a late getaway deal, we had a couple of the larger Greek Islands under our belt but not much knowledge of the Eastern Med – we just wanted a cheap, sunny holiday. We got a two-centre deal, presumably left over from two package trips, that suited us down to the ground.
Our first week in Rhodes was spent in Lindos, the perfect chilled out holiday town. I remember the coach winding down the approach road, to the sprawl of sugar-cube houses clinging to the hillside under the imposing ancient acropolis. We just dumped our stuff in our...

...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...

Advantages: Good value, lots to do, lots to see Disadvantages: Not in the Inidian Ocean or the Carribean
...Rhodes, one of the most famous islands in the world, you just never knew it. Many a movie has been shot on Rhodes, one of the most famous being the Guns of Navarone.
Visit Rhodes and relax, well thats a waste of a holiday. Rhodes is full of things to do. In length the island takes about 1 hour to drive and about 20 minutes to drive across.
When you go to Rhodes you should be ready for every type of activity; Rock Climbing, take the climbing course and climb the Navarone cliff, as seen on the Guns of Navarone movie; Water Sports are very popular in Rhodes, I recommend the Marco Polo boat tour leaving from Faliraki harbour every morning and afternoon, taking in the local spa at Kalithea, Anthony Quinn bay, several other beaches with snorkelling and a great lunch or evening meal on board boat all for the extortionate cost of £10...
