Villa Socrates in Rhodes (Rodos)

Long back garden directly onto the beach

A long garden at the rear leads straight
through the dunes onto a wide, secluded
beach with spectacular views.



'This is a very special place with a
beautiful, secluded beach and lovely
surroundings and people.
We hope to return.'

Back of the villa

There is a sea-view balcony from every room
with the studio apartment having two very
large balconies with a 300-degree panorama
of the sea and the surrounding countryside.

Gennadi can be reached by walking either
along a pleasant country road or along a
wide, quiet beach. The whole area has
retained its Greek identity with subtle
tourism. It is perfect for many kinds of
holiday, including hillwalking, cycling,
and for those who like the countryside,
with tourist facilities including water
sports close by in Gennadi itself and in
Pefkos and Lindos.

'Lovely villa! Couldn't have asked
for more and our own private beach!!
Hope to come back and will recommend
to friends and family.'

No sardines here!!!

While the others are lying 10 deep on
small beaches in Rodos Town and Faliraki,
you can chill on a virtually private beach.
There is very little access from the road
and the tourists don't find it anyway!

Even in December the beach is lovely.
Christine and Keith went swimming on
Christmas Day 2004.

The front flower bed

We even have a mini garden built into the front wall. It's full of flowering plants and is in bloom all year round.

The front garden

You can chill out in the late afternoon and evening sun on the little patio surrounded by small trees and flowers. You can take a table and chairs here and eat with a view of the mountains.

The front garden

The front garden is now fully established after only three years.
