Search hotels in Afantou

I think, this is the best location, if you are planning to travel on Rhodes island. This beach is not that much developed as other commercial beaches, so you wont find here any hotel, but it still offers sun beds and some restaurants. Beach is long, so you never feel the amount of all tourists around. Afandou village is a little bit far from the beach, so you always need a car to go to the city or to enjoy some services. If the property owner say, the beach is just 800m far, you need to understand, that this is 800 m of straight distance (not by the roads), while walking that distance uphill or downhill in 30+degrees on a sharp sun with all equipment might be tough. There is a small road train connecting village, beach and nearby center of services, but even by a car it takes 15 minutes. I think the best time to visit this place is after middle of June or September, we had daily over 30 degrees. The sand in the beach was too hot and the water temperature was around 24 degrees. If you rent a car, you can reach all famous beaches from this location easily, it just 15 minutes to reach Faliraki and beaches on this side, 25 minutes to Rhodes port and old city and 25 minutes to the beaches on other side like Lindos beach of Pefki beach, both sandy (I recommend to arrive there before 10am, to go down the hill and park in front of the beach, otherwise there is a traffic jam). We had been there with a small kid, so we didn´t tried to go to Lindos Pantheon or southern beaches. If you choose a location for your stay too south (Lindos or Pefkos), or too north (Faliraki), you will be probably lazy to travel to other beaches due to distance.

Accomodation is in quiet area, nice to get some rest. Swimming pool is of reasonable size. Facilities in the apartment are excellent. Washing machine included. Kitchen was fully equiped. We could not find anything that wasn't good. We would recommend the apartment.

Afantou itself is quite boring and not a very nice place. There are supermarket and restaurants and so on but probably you don't want to hang around there a lot. Definitely, you need a rental car, parking on the streets could be a little bit tight. with car you can go everywhere. The nearest beach was also not very attractive.

The house we stayed in was very spacious but you need to hire a car to get around the local area. It is easy to walk into the village where there are plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from. Afantou makes a good base to explore from. We visited lots of good local beaches, Lindos and Rhodes town all within a half hour drive on a main road.

Great location for visiting the whole island of Rhodes. You can drive to both the old town and Lindos from here, equal in both directions. Butterfly Valley and petting zoo are also nearby. Afantou itself is a fairly classic Rhodes town, where you can dine, as well as find convenience stores (I would recommend visiting the Supermarche as a tourist).

There is a good selection of shops, bars and restaurants. The bakeries/patisseries are amazing and I would definitely recommend Nikolis and Glikoepiloges. Sergios, Gyros and Burger and Four Seasons are all great restaurants to try. Venue Bar, near Club 33, has an amazing live band on Friday nights playing a mixture of pop/rock classics and current songs.
