My friend and I really enjoyed our stay at the family-run Erato Apartments in Lindos. We were both interested in exploring some of the less touristy parts of Rhodes and the Erato Apartments provided us with a great base to take some wonderful day trips. In addition to enjoying Lindos town and the stunning acropolis, we hired a car and visited a number of sites in and around Lindos. Even in late October, we managed a swim at the local beach which is only a 5 minute walk away. We loved the attention to detail and the sweet little touches in these apartments. Apparently, it was originally the house of the family's grandmother and the lower floor apartments and courtyard have the original pebble mosaics, old black and white photos, beautiful carved wooden furniture and local textiles and ceramics. You kind of know the moment you walk through the stone archway into the enclosed courtyard - covered in sweet-smelling jasmine and flowers, that this is a little special. Very reasonably priced and run by a lovely couple and their daughter it is really well worth a visit. Don't forget to try the local sesame and honey sweets called Melekounia. They are totally delicious!
