Melenos Lindos Exclusive Suites
Rhodes, Greece
At a Glance
Not many hotels can claim they are walking distance from an ancient acropolis - the Temple to Athena gazes down upon the hotel and Lindos town
Mules pass by the hotel's front door carrying their riders up to the acropolis
Just a short walk from the hotel lies a stretch of sandy beach. But it is popular so get down early to claim a spot!
Very few hotels can offer the charm of a cobbled street town, a beach and ancient architecture but Melenos Lindos boasts all three
The hotel offers 12 suites each with a traditional Lindian bed, raised on a wooden platform

Insider's View
Meals on the terrace are phenomenal both for the exquisite food and the panoramic views
Each of the suites is a vibrant riot of colour and the decor in keeping with the towns traditions something which so many boutique hotels lack these days
For me this is the perfect short break - beach, history, architecture, charm, terrific cuisine and a long season!
Be sure to take a day trip to Rhodes. Though busy with cruise ships, the walled city is something to behold and the myriad architecture testament to the island's varied past.

Description
The Melenos-Lindos hotel claims a spectacular setting - at the heart of Lindos town with its cobbled streets, nestled under the ancient Lindos Acropolis. The hotel offers marvellous views of the Aegean Sea and traditional Lindian style accommodation.
Melenos Lindos is the perfect boutique hotel, blending luxury and tradition effortlessly. Combine that with the warmest of Greek welcomes, a fantastic restaurant and a location at the heart of the quaintest Greek hillside village and you have perfection.
Each of the 12 suites has been individually decorated with sumptuous fabrics, vivid mosaic tiling, beautifully carved wood and the raised beds in-keeping with Lindian tradition. The suites are spacious and airy and open out onto cobbled terraces with sea views and tables and chairs.
Guests can lounge on the hotel's many levels or retreat from the midday sun to the charming little garden that offers shade under a pergola laden with vines. The sea breeze wafts throughout the hotel and the views are exquisite from most suites.
Meals served on a terrace overlooking the Aegean are bound to appeal and the food is fantastic - think fresh seafood, crisp salads, Greek dips and of course endless delicious olives.
The owner, Michalis Melenos oversees the running of the hotel as well as the amazing cooking classes on offer. Traditional Greek dishes are taught using the freshest of ingredients.
A hidden gem is Melenos Villa, a recent addition to the hotel. The villa is open for bookings from 15 April until the 31 October and can accommodate up to five guests. Claiming the same amazing views of Lindos harbour and the Aegean, the villa has two bedrooms, a sitting room with sofa bed and a terrace perfect for al fresco dining.
Melenos Lindos is the perfect retreat especially during Spring and Autumn when temperatures have not yet reached the Summer peaks. A stay here is effortless with a terrific restaurant, a charming beach just a short walk away and Greek tavernas aplenty dotted along the narrow cobbled streets. Not to mention the architectural gems to discover on the island of Rhodes.

Activities
The hotels terraces are perfect for a lazy day of lounging. Or if you long to feel sand between your toes, wander down to the beach cove where there are loungers aplenty. A trip to see the Temple of Athena that overlooks the town of Lindos is a must, while nearby are a number of interesting places to visit. Rhodes has been home to the Romans, Byzantines, Knights of St John and the Ottomans so the whole island boasts a rich tapestry of history and architecture.
