A different way to holiday. Change a beach program to an educational program in the star garden. Apartments and Observatory offers a remarkable experience, panoramic view, breathtaking night scenery, relaxation, instruments of Observatory, refreshment, performance of the enthusiastic and hospitable owner Stergos Manolakas. The scenic location that the "Hipparchos" Οbservatory is housed, offers at its guests the privilege of tranquility close to nature and breathtaking scenery. The guest has the opportunity to live an experience of observational Astronomy with our instruments of "Hipparchus" Observatory, observing the moon, planets, nebulae, galaxies, and many other astronomical objects of the starry sky. Made with care in our star-garden the guest can observe uranography, even find out how a live sundial works and see a static geographical compass orientation, and much more... Η πρόσβαση στο αστεροσκοπείο επιτρέπεται σε παιδιά μόνο άνω των 7 ετών. Access to the Observatory allowed only for children older than 7 years. Zutritt zur Sternwarte nur für Kinder über 7 Jahre. Вход в обсерваторию разрешён только с детьми старше 7 лет How to find us: Coming from the highway Rhodes Town to Lindos you pass some traffic lights, after the road to Faliraki Centre and the St. Nektarios Church and about 150 meters away you find the next set of traffic lights where you branch off left and continue the street on the right. Pass Evi-hotel and a small Roundabout. Continue about 350 meters then go right towards Liberia-hotel, on the left there is a Tennis court. After about 650 meters you will find a crossing (Profitis Amos Church) here take the middle street way, so you will find after 250 meters two yellow buildings. Passing by take the street right hand up the hill. Then turn left.

Awesomeness overload!... Such a beautiful place, with very nice atmosphere in the cafe (lovely music, very friendly people, yummy food and drinks). We saw the Moon, Jupiter, and stars, with lots of interesting facts. Thank you so much, Stergos!

Heaven on earth is the only way to describe Antony Quinn Bay, Not the easiest of places to find but well worth the adventure, Tip when you think you've found AQB, you haven't it's the bay BEHIND the first beach.
My Son (15) had always wanted to Scuba dive, the guys running H2O where very friendly and approachable, booked my son in for his first dive.
They were very proficient in their approach to safety, I had to fill out a big safety form, & my son was giving a safety diving demonstration & a hands on safety talk.
He was so happy after his first dive, he told me his co diving instructor was always signalling him to make sure he was safe.
They also e mailed under water photos of his first dive included in the 60 Euro.
Thanks to H2O & the team, my son Rowan so enjoyed his first dive with you.
We are coming back next year, so see you again, & this time I'm diving, thanks again.

My sister and I had an absolutely amazing experience parasailing.
60 euros for 2 people + option of a gro pro for 20 euros. We went for the go pro to really capture the experience but some people were just using their phones. Well organised family run business. Would 100% recommend and look forward to going back to Tsambika beach to try out their other Water Sports.

Spend a day away of the tourism. With Nikos Papas, one of the most entertaining hosts.Follow him into another world, into his world. Spend an hour walking through delightful canopy covered terrain. Feet through the water flowing down a rivulet and emerge in the grot. Relax in a hammock over the lake. Plunge into the invigorating pool Meet his 'friend' the turtle. Drink and feast in the Greek style. It is an experience of a life time!

We were in a party that included us two Brits and a party of Dutch girls and a couple of Belgian families. The staff that met us at the road were fluent in all the languages.
we were driven to the start of the walk in mostly private cars which broke the ice straight away. After meeting the mad Greek that is the wonderful Nicos Papas we set off for our walk through the bamboo 'jungle'. Most of the walk is shady which was very welcome in August! Walking through (muddy) streams was also cooling. There are a number of places where you can drink from natural Springs but even though we were told we didn't need to bring water it would have been a good idea if we had. We were fed fruit along the way which added to the Bear Grylls feel to the day. Lunch was in a flooded area with hammocks and seats in the pool. Nicos provided hot traditional Greek fare from nowhere which was plentiful and delicious. We chose to sit at a table in the pool and shared our bread with the fish and turtles swimming in the water, but there were some seats on solid ground too.. This was the only place for a toilet visit after leaving the starting place (worth mentioning!)
It is a long day with a lot of walking over uneven ground and some climbing (which was optional) but that said, my husband is 71 and I had broken a metatarsal a couple days before the walk and we both coped easily.
Fully recommend this day out as it is so different from anything we had ever done on our visits to Rhodes.... loved it

The Artistic Village is a family business. The founder and creator of the Artistic Village is Nikolas I. Simiakos. The Artistic Village has been operating since 1984 and we try to highlight various aspects of modern craftsmanship and culture. In the welcoming 600 sq. Metre art gallery you will be able to see innovative art works, ornaments, sculptures, special designs and compositions made from clay, glass, wood, bronze, iron, aluminium and other materials. Any of these pieces would be the perfect choice for a novel gift. Also, in the art gallery/studio, you can see original pictures which will make any space - personal or professional - look its best. The Artistic Village is home to the first museum where visitors can explore the past and learn about the art of ceramics from its beginnings to the present day. Entrance is free. Professionalism, imagination, distinctiveness, uniqueness and our love for the best are our "gold standard" for our long term success. Pay us a visit and discover our collections. The Artistic Village is on the eastern coast of the beautiful island of Rhodes, a few kilometres(20 Km) outside Rhodes town. It is easily reached from anywhere in the town by taking the national road from Rhodes Town to Lindos. Rhodes' "Diagoras" airport is only a 30 minute drive from the village, and Rhodes Town and the harbour are a similar distance away. You will find the Artistic Village between cosmopolitan Afantou and the tourist area of Kolymbia. The ample parking space, and the many outdoor relaxation areas in this beautiful and very pleasant environment, are only some of the facilities on offer to visitors to the Artistic Village.

This is a familly business. But they are so creative that it looks impossible that all this was made by just 3 persons! I had a really good time there. First we stopped just to look, and then came back for shopping.

I visited the spa during my vacation in Rhodes and I loved it! The staff is very attentive and made the whole experience wonderful! The whole spa is a very serene and relaxing environment, and the view compliments it very well!! The spa was kept very clean and beautifully decorated, which was a major plus! I enjoyed the jacuzzi, as well as the sauna, and I had a sauna scrub service as well as something I have always wanted to try, a pedicure that includes little fish eating away the dead skin on your feet! It was overall a wonderful experience and I would absolutely go back many times!!
