South Rhodes · Greece

The quieter south of Rhodes.

Between the coastal village of Gennadi and the whitewashed lanes of Lachania, the landscape opens towards the Aegean. The retreat sits in the first row by the sea — close to the places you need, with space to leave the island’s busier side behind.

Around the retreat

Village days and open horizons.

01

Gennadi

Approximately 6 minutes

A relaxed coastal village for everyday essentials, long taverna lunches and an evening drink. Its centre and shoreline still feel distinctly local.

02

Lachania

Approximately 6 minutes

Whitewashed houses, quiet lanes and a shaded village square bring a slower rhythm to the hills just inland from the coast.

03

Lindos

Approximately 30 minutes

Climb to the ancient acropolis, wander through the pedestrian old town and pause above the sheltered bays — an easy half-day or evening from the retreat.

04

Prasonisi

Approximately 30 minutes

At the island’s southern edge, open landscapes lead to the meeting point of two seas — a dramatic destination shaped by wind, water and space.
