Overview
An impressively designed and styled 3-bedroom property, Villa Achyro lies just a short walk from Pefki Beach on Rhodes’ south-eastern coast. Around one hour’s drive from Diagoras International Airport, this beautiful villa is suitable for up to six guests and features a large pool and terrace.
Villa Achyro scores points not just for its location – you can be on the beach in just a couple of minutes – but also for its magnificent open spaces on multiple levels. As well as the main pool terrace, where you have a covered seating and dining area and a bar, there are balcony terraces on the upper floor. You also have a barbecue and an array of loungers arranged around the pool, making this a space you can really enjoy day or night.
Step inside and you will find the interiors are tastefully decorated – the neutral tones in considered combinations certainly give this villa an understated sense of cool. You have a spacious living area accessible from the poolside, which offers comfortable lounge seating and a well-equipped kitchen. All the amenities you may need are here, including a coffee machine, dishwasher and TV, plus there is free Wi-Fi throughout.
This air-conditioned villa offers three superb bedrooms, one on the ground floor and two upstairs. You have two doubles and a twin, and each of the bedrooms has its own en suite bathroom. Should you need a cot and high-chair for a little one, that is available too.
The appealing ambiance of Villa Achyro is going to be hard to leave, but there are certainly some iconic sights in the area you should take time out to see. Just 4km away, Lindos is the home of an ancient acropolis, while the nearby beach is considered one of the island’s best.
Venture further up the eastern side and you will eventually reach Rhodes town. Right at the top of the island, the capital offers much more to see, with the marina, Old Town and the Palace of the Grand Master sure to keep you busy.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa AchyroThe Greek island of Rhodes is justly popular with visitors, combining all the elements you could wish for in a holiday. As well as a coast packed full of scenic beaches, it makes the most of its history and natural beauty too.
The town which shares the island’s name is on its northern tip and serves as a good place to begin. Only 20 minutes’ drive from Diagoras Airport, the capital is known for its enchanting Old Town which is as architecturally impressive as it is charming. One of the key sights, the Palace of the Grand Masters, forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage site – it’s a joy to lose yourself in the dozens of winding streets that take you there, and the views over the Aegean Sea are really quite something. You can discover a lot about the history of Rhodes at the Archaeological Museum.
The Museum of Modern Greek Art is also worth visiting while in Rhodes town, along with landmarks such as Evangelismós Cathedral. The island also plays host to a Toy Museum and the popular Bee Museum, where you can find out all about honey production and see bees in action.
Other notable sights include the Lindos Acropolis, an ancient monument that has stood the test of time, and the beautiful Epta Piges nature reserve with its seven springs. The beautiful Anthony Quinn Bay is a great reason to head in the direction of Faliraki, while the town’s water-park is a family favourite. For a treat for all the senses, be sure to visit the wonderful Valley of the Butterflies, a stunning nature reserve even without the colourful creatures which inhabit it.

The Island/Getting There
Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese Islands of Greece. It’s got a lot of history as it’s been invaded a lot by the Persians, Carians, Ottomans, Italians, and Germans.
Average temperatures go from 20’c in April up to 30’c in July/ August and down to 20’c in November. With an average of 85 rainy days a year they get sunshine for around 280 days.
The island is 90km long with Rhodes town at the northern tip. The airport (Rhodes International Airport "Diagoras") is also in the North (15km from Rhodes Town). Charter flights and Easyjet operate direct from the UK all season and out of season (Nov-March) you’d need to fly via Athens.
The Acropolis – The Acropolis that sits high above the town of Lindos is absolutely amazing and is a must see if you’re looking for some of the best views in all of Rhodes. One thing I should mention is that the climb up to the acropolis requires you to be somewhat active and able to climb stairs, lots of them. The trail begins through town and slowly but surely starts to get steeper as you climb the hill towards the acropolis. Once there, you’re rewarded with historical buildings dating back to 300 BC. Our Villa Corteau sit just underneath the ruins.
Rhodes has over 40 beaches, here are a few:
- Anthony Quinn’s Bay – Anthony Quinn’s bay is one of the most beautiful bays. The bay is located 17km (10 mi) south of Old Town Rhodes and offers some incredible photo opportunities to say the least.
- The beach at Anthony Quinn’s bay is one of the best beaches in Rhodes. Get there early if you want to snag a sunbed and umbrella and enjoy wading around the bright blue and green water. Amazing!
- For the best views of Anthony Quinn’s Bay from above, head on up to the windy road that leads up the hill just north of the bay and you’ll find a spot where you can sit and enjoy the virtually 180 degree views of Rhodes and its coastline.
- Tsambika Beach (or Tsampika) – Tsampika beach is located 30km (18 mi) south of Old Town Rhodes and is a great place to spend the day in the sun. Note: Beware there is a small section where nudists congregate on Tsampika beach
- Lakido Beach – Just opposite Anthony Quinn’s Bay is Lakido beach. It’s literally 3 minutes walking distance from Anthony Quinn’s bay so visiting both beaches in a day is totally doable. As a matter of fact, I would highly recommend visiting both if you get the chance
- Faliraki Beach – One of the most popular tourist spots on the island of Rhodes. It was known for 18-30’s holiday in the 90-2000’s but I don’t think there is that market so much now. It is quite commercialised now there are water sports and a few diving schools.
How to reach Rhodes island
There are two ways to reach Rhodes Island: either by flight or by ferry.
By plane: If you don’t want to lose time you can fly to Rhodes (RHO) from Athens. The flight lasts 1 hour. Many direct flights also operate from many European countries, so it will not be difficult to arrive there.
By ferry: If you choose to travel from Piraeus to Rhodes with a ferry, it will surely take you much longer but travelling with a ferry in the summer nights can be pretty enticing! The port of Rhodes is located in the southern part of the island and offers bus services to the town centre. You can easily book your ferry tickets using the link below or the booking engine.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Achyro is ideal for children who appreciate style and good taste, but it’s not just worthy of a place on their Instagram page. The facilities are top-notch too, with a large outdoor pool and one of the coolest terraces around. They can enjoy Wi-Fi connectivity, satellite TV and barbecues, as well as walks to the beach so short they will barely notice them.
Speaking of beaches, there are many more of them around the island to explore. The lovely Lindos Beach is just a few minutes away, while you have the likes of Anthony Quinn Bay and Faliraki further up the coast. Faliraki Beach is well-organised and great for families, and you won’t need to travel far to the town’s big water-park.
Elsewhere on the island, you have beautiful areas of nature like Seven Springs and the Valley of the Butterflies, and some interesting museums in Rhodes Town. Rhodes is also home to an inspiring aquarium that is sure to be a hit with kids.
