The jacuzzi hot tub with its open countryside views is just to die for at sunset. If you are travelling with children like us the private pool and enclosed garden are perfect. The villa has all the luxuries you would expect from a modern villa, such as washing machine, full cooking facilities, even a play station for the kids.
If you decide to holiday in Lindos, Medeast restaurant is a must. The views over Lindos bay and the ancient acropoils are breathtaking. The food is five star and always ask for a special bottle of local wine not on the menu. Manolis, the owner, is an excellent host and if you're lucky he may even play his guitar at the end of an evening.

The island of Rhodes has it all. I have recently returned from a wonderful holiday in Rhodes and stayed in the charming town of Lindos.
Firstly you have to visit Lindos, the people here are wonderfully friendly and welcoming, the beaches are stunning and although slightly overcrowded still very clean. The restaurants and Tavernas are top notch and my family and I spent most of our time eating in Nama and Acropolis.
If you want to do a bit of sightseeing, you have a few places to visit. Me and my wife went up to the Acropolis of Lindos; she got to ride a donkey up to the top, where as I was not allowed and had to walk or drag myself up there.
Once up to the Acropolis you can explore the ancient fortress and look through the excavations, but the views from the top of the hill are stunning.
We also went to Rodini Park, which is a strange nature reserve, typically Greek I suppose, and we also visited the valley of the butterflies which is a sight you can't miss.
The best time to visit Rhodes in my opinion would have to be in early Summer when the weather isn't too hot, or in early September. Also stick to the east side of the island, its much windier on the west side.

Indigo is a restaurant, formerly Maria's, in the New Market in Rhodes Town. It is adorned with billowing drapes so you feel as though you are eating in a tent. The food is wonderful, the service discreet and pleasant - no touting - and the wine is excellent. Despite all this, it is not expensive and offers great value for money.
