Over 130.000 people are fortunate enough to call Rhodes their home and 50.000 people are living in the villages on Rhodes island. We are offering a selection of traditional village houses with parts of the old village designs like batari - pataro’s (wooden sleeping platform) and floor paved with kohla’ki(mosaics).
The village of Koskinou was established in the 15th century and was at the time partly protected by a purpose-built castle. It is situated on a hill, at the east side of the island of Rhodes, 9km (around 6 miles) from the centre of the City of Rhodes. It has 2,500 inhabitants.
Travel guides usually state that Koskinou is famous for its unique traditional houses, its magnificently decorated 1873 built church, and Gia’nnis‘ restaurant. All very true.
However, there is also another side of Koskinou. It is the Koskinou with its friendly and hospitable residents; its four other small restaurants located on pedestrian streets offering a variety of meals. It is the Koskinou with its peaceful surroundings; its memorable sunsets; its cooling northern breeze; its close proximity to both the City of Rhodes and to a number of crystal-water beaches. It is the Koskinou that offers the chance to combine the experience of traditional village life, with a wide choice of outings just a short drive away.
It is that Koskinou that has captured the hearts of quite a number of Greek artists and Northern Europeans who now live there permanently.
