Villa Chorio

The villa

Villa Chorio is a spacious family home located near Afandou village, ideal for up to eight guests. It is surrounded by well - maintained gardens and is just a short drive from Afandou’s golf course. The villa is conveniently situated between Rhodes' Medieval Old Town and the charming cobbled streets of Lindos, making it a great base for exploring the island. Inside the villa, you'll find a gym with a sauna, a hot tub, and a private pool, perfect for a morning swim. One of the bathrooms includes a hydro - massage bath, offering additional relaxation. The villa is spread across two floors, with four well - appointed bedrooms, each with a balcony and panoramic views. In addition to the main bathroom, there are two walk - in shower rooms. The spacious living areas include a flat - screen TV with satellite channels, an indoor dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen with an oven, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher.

The outdoor area features a terrace with a dining space, a pavilion with a barbecue, and numerous sun loungers and parasols, providing an inviting space to relax. Nearby beaches offer crystal - clear waters and quieter spots for sunbathing. Tsampika Beach, known for its soft, golden sands, is considered one of the best on the island, while Afandou Beach has bars and restaurants where you can enjoy refreshing drinks or taste local Rhodian seafood.

The pebbled beach of Afandou beach has crystal blue waters and just a shack or two selling drinks and snacks. There is much within a short drive to suit all tastes, from the natural beauty of the Epta Piges to the nightlife of Faliraki. The former is well worth seeing, a nature reserve full of green and wooded areas, and seven springs which resulted in a wonderful lake offering the only fresh - water swimming on the island. Children will love the exciting water park at Faliraki, with its huge slides and waves, and the historic sites of Rhodes are easy to reach too. At Villa Chorio you will be just 25 minutes’ drive from Rhodes the capital, so don’t miss a trip to its historic Old Town, or simply its own sandy beach It's a short drive to the town of Rhodes which is as good a place to visit and lies on the northern tip of the island. A walk along the medieval walls of the Old Town & castle will offer you some beautiful views. Part of a World Heritage Site, this is also the location of a fine museum which offers the chance to familiarise yourself with Rhodian history, extending as far back as the 3rd century BC. Another museum worth checking out is the Museum of Modern Greek Art, with an eclectic collection only rivalled by Athens. The New Town area is visually appealing itself, with an Art Deco influence present in much of its architecture. Mandráki harbour is the home of Evangelismós Cathedral, where you can find some impressive frescoes.

Along the coast, you also have resorts such as Ammoudes, Kolympia and, perhaps best - known, Faliraki. While its reputation may precede it, this is not the hedonism capital it once was. A children’s water - park and the beautiful Anthony Quinn Bay may tempt you there during the day, and an aquarium and scuba - diving school also embrace the aquatic theme.

Rhodes is an island with more than its fair share of natural beauty and landmark sights. To the south Lindos is a UNESCO site, with donkeys for transport and and cobble streets below the ancient acropolis.

At the very southern tip of the island, Prasonisi’s location - dividing the Aegean and the Mediterranean - is considered prime wind - surfing territory. But if that sounds a little too exhilarating, Rhodes’ more sedate attractions like the Valley of the Butterflies, numerous wineries and the seven springs of the wonderfully scenic Epta Piges nature reserve, will provide just as pleasant a day out.
