Lardos has all kinds of facilities where a visitor could easily find in a modern holiday destination.

Lindos Village

The lovely village of Lindos is one of the most attractive and beautiful villages of Rhodes, and is located south of the capital, on the eastern coast of the island. It is dominated by a magnificent and imposing acropolis which can be visited. The beauty of Lindos is due to its beautiful location on the slope of a hill, dominated by the acropolis, and overlooking a picturesque bay, but also to the village itself which has been built amphitheatrically and is full of whitewashed houses with pebble-paved courtyards, narrow alleys and buildings influenced by Byzantine, medieval, Arab and Rhodian architecture. Apart from the beautiful acropolis that can be reached by foot or donkey, the old theatre of Lindos, carved from a rock, and the Doric sanctuary of Athena Lindia are also worth-seeing.

Pefkos Village

Pefkos (Pefki) name is derived from the abundance of pine trees surrounding the village. Set in a beautiful bay, the locals are rightly proud of their home. Pefkos is more laid back than its neighbour Lindos. But Pefkos offers everything you can wish for, beautiful beaches, a great selection of traditional and European restaurants and bars.
