Afandou Beach

Afandou Beach Hotel is located 8km south of Faliraki and less than 500m from the pebble beach of the same name. The main swimming and kids’ pools are surrounded by lush landscaped gardens, while the children can make new friends in the outdoor playground. Entertainment for the whole family can be found in the games room, which features billiards, ping pong and arcade machines.

The restaurant, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, offers Greek and Mediterranean dishes prepared from the finest local ingredients. Between meals, snacks and drinks are served at the pool bar, which you may wish to devour from a sunlounger. In the evenings, enjoy live music while consuming your beverage.

The air conditioned rooms are equipped with a double bed and a sofa bed, allowing up to four people to share. You will also find a TV with satellite channels, a fridge, a hairdryer and facilities for making hot drinks. Maybe you’d like to sit on your balcony, overlooking either the garden or the sea, while enjoying a cup of tea or reading a book.

The concierge can assist with booking organised tours of Rhodes. If you wish to explore the island at your own pace, you may like to take advantage of the scooter and bicycle rental services. History lovers shouldn’t pass on the opportunity to visit the medieval old town of Rhodes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, just a 30 minute drive away. Here the Knights of St John built the first settlement around a small port and expanded it during the 13th century. Today you can see the remains of castles, temples and fortifications. A visit to the Archaeological Museum will help explain the bygone times.

On the way back, why not stop off at Kallithea, where you will find the popular attraction of Kallithea Springs. In the 1920s Italian commander Mario Lago built a spa here, believing the waters had health benefits. While the actual spa facility has since closed, you can still admire the magnificent marble structures, mosaic flooring and the huge fountain at the entrance.
