Villa Clementine couldn’t get any closer to Rhodes coast if it tried. If you take a short stroll from your pool terrace, you’ll be right onto the sandy and pebble shoreline. Named Kiotari, this 10km-long beach at the southern part of the Greek island has Blue Flag status due to its clear blue and calm waters for swimming. On the waterfront, you’ll find water-sports facilities, alongside several bars and taverns to enjoy the local cuisine. The villa is also within a short walk (no more than 850 metres) of more restaurants, shops and supermarkets, so you’ll want for nothing while staying at this villa.
A few minutes’ drive will take you to Lindos. This quaint fishing village is lined with picturesque classic white-washed houses spilling down to a turquoise bay. It’s also known for its ancient acropolis where you can see a monumental temple, castle and church perched on the cliffside. While away the afternoon browsing the narrow streets lined with boutique shops – perfect for buying gifts like the island’s famous decorative plates – or you can head to one of the beaches and bays.
60km south is cosmopolitan Rhodes town. Rich in history, you’ll find plenty of things to see and do here. Visit the famous Old Town – a maze of cobbled streets that will transport you back to the days of the Byzantine Empire with ancient ruins. The Street of the Knights with seven imposing inns decorated with emblems is also well worth a visit here, alongside the museums. Take a break browsing the boutique shops or grabbing a traditional Greek coffee at one of the cafes or bars.
The largest of the Greek Dodecanese islands, Rhodes abounds in idyllic swimming spots, wooded valleys and ancient history so you won’t run out of fantastic things to do on your holiday.
