Chrysa Studios

Perched at the top of the town of Lindos, a small complex of 10 beautiful, comfortable rooms with a huge shaded terrace that overlooks the town and the acropolis. It is quiet, clean, and the owners are welcoming. You can cook and eat on the terrace.

After a lot of research, I booked this as I was solo. So many mentioned it was a lovely place for solos. Pros: The studies offer a truly wonderful panoramic view across the Old Town and to the Acropolis. I'd forgotten how beautiful Lindos is. My heart leapt when I saw it again. The Studios are basic, clean and quiet. They are well set-up for self catering so you can buy your groceries and have a lovely breakfast overlooking that stunning view. Cons: The owner's wife aggressively banged on the door on my first morning as if waking the dead to move me to another room. Others could see straight into the new room as they walked by or stopped to wash dirt off their shoes/ boots. The owner was slow to move me to an appropriate room and suggested, in the meantime, that I close the curtains for privacy! This meant sitting in a room with low light. I was eventually moved to a better first floor room on my last night! Be aware that these studios are located on the very outskirts/ outer perimeter of the town and not technically part of the "old town". You will have to navigate rough terrain/ a donkey trail to get to the centre of the Old Town where the bars, restaurants and life is. At times the trail lights are out so one could easily take a tumble down the steps in the darkness (as I almost did). It was also fairly daunting when walking this route when the street lights out at night. People escorted me back a few times to make sure I was safe. I had to cut my stay short and the owner would not even consider a partial refund. I would not stay at this property in future.

We stayed at this property during the first part of our trip to Rhodes and we had a very good experience. The location is excellent: in a few minutes on foot you can reach the center of Lindos with its characteristic narrow streets, while still remaining in a quiet area. The owners were extremely kind, welcoming, and always available for any need. The apartment was comfortable and represents an excellent solution for visiting Lindos and its surroundings. Highly recommended!
