Lindos Rhodes Guide

Lindos apartments quality and cleanliness is probably the next most important consideration for your holiday to Lindos Rhodes. After all you’re going to be staying here for at least two weeks, as you want to get an apartment of quality.

I booked my holiday through Thomas Cook online, and I have to say I was not disappointed. The apartments descriptions from the advertising were everything they said they would be, basic but neat and tidy and within 300 yards of St. Paul’s Bay. A five minute walk and you are on the beach. A two minute walk in the opposite direction takes you to the nearest shop for groceries and most other things you may need at a fair price. (Just up around the corner past the Pizzeria in the photograph).

The Kyriakos apartments are well situated as you can see from this photograph, and the front door of the apartment I stayed in is straight out onto the street. The door to the second right takes you into the right block, and just round the side is the door into the remaining apartments. The communal doors open with a string pull, and the front doors where opening onto the street are opened by turning the key fully in one direction. The handles are only for grip.

You can see a lot of the other Lindos apartments and Lindos studios in this area.

The Kyriakos apartments are nicely presented and have the courtyard stone floor designs that are common in Lindos.

The air conditioning was not included in the package and at the time of this holiday in August 2008 was 50 Euro per week. If you arrive at night, you will have to wait to pay the maid in the morning to have it switched on. When on the apartment was kept at 16 degrees C.

Mosquitoes were not a problem. I wasn’t bitten the whole time, though one or two did get into the apartment during the day and hung around the beds. They were easily spotted on the light coloured walls, and easily controlled by closing everything up and using the mosquito killer plug or by the old fashioned method of a quick swat.

Cooking was basic with a two ring camping type unit, and a fridge set into the kitchen units with a small freezer compartment. This was adequate to stick two large bottles of water in to freeze for a cold water supply for the following day. There was no microwave.

The only problem with the bathroom was the usual one of taking twice as long in there due to having to roll any toilet paper used up inside more of it, and putting it in a small waste bin supplied for the purpose beside the toilet. Greece does not allow toilet paper to be flushed down the toilet.

If you would like to add your own comments about your own experiences with your Lindos apartments you are welcome to comment and send me photographs if you wish.
