Caesar’s Gardens

a Friendship Houseparty

This little gem is a real find – a modern, well-managed 3-star hotel with lovely facilities. We are delighted to have exclusive use of the hotel for a Friendship houseparty and we know that Kosmas and his family will look after us well.

Set in a quiet spot about a mile from Lindos village, Caesar’s Gardens offers spacious, open-plan studios set around a swimming pool, the whole property surrounded by well-kept gardens.

Comfortable loungers and good parasols are grouped around the free-form pool and there’s a shaded eating area and snack bar too, while a few hammocks are tucked away in the gardens. Rooms are a good size with cool tiled floors and mosquito netting for the bed.

The nearest beach is Lindos Beach, a short taxi ride away – or a 20 minute walk (uphill on the way home). Guests at Caesar's Gardens, can also use the private beach at Lindos Memories Hotel, a 5 minute taxi ride away. The pretty resort of Lindos is only 10-15 minutes’ walk away where, among various tavernas, you’ll find the family’s own Caesar’s Restaurant.

Do join us at Caesar’s Gardens – we love it and we’re looking forward to our first summer here.

Lindos Rhodes

Rhodes is the largest of Greece’s Dodecanese Islands and has a great deal to offer visitors – take no notice of the headlines grabbed by Faliraki a few years ago. The island is an idyllic mix of cloudless skies, white-washed villages, turquoise seas, ancient ruins and olive groves.

The stunningly beautiful ‘capital’ of Rhodes Town is the oldest inhabited medieval town in Europe – fought over for centuries by Romans and Turks, with the Order of the Knights of St John building a magnificent fortress here known as the Palace of the Grand Masters. Rhodes is also a modern port and a sophisticated town with a host of shops and clubs welcoming Greek and overseas visitors.

Our favourite resort is Lindos on the island’s sandy east coast. It’s a picture postcard village of sparkling white houses set on steep cobbled streets above a sweeping beach where local fishermen land the day’s catch.

Lindos is one of the most popular places on the island – the village is a protected national ‘landmark’ for its combination of ancient ruins – the Acropolis at the top of the hill, narrow pedestrian streets – hail a donkey if you don’t fancy the steep climb, and the perfect curve of the main beach.

Pretty it certainly is, but it is a real small town too, with plenty of bars and a handful of clubs to entertain us in the evenings, as well as shops – many of which open at night - and the excellent little spa.

We have two hotels to choose from here. The first is a small and friendly 3-star where we will be holding a summer-long Friendship houseparty, with exclusive use of Caesar’s Gardens hotel. Alternatively, you may opt for 5-star luxury at the sophisticated Lindos Memories hotel.

From either of these bases, your Friendship hosts will be happy to suggest and arrange a range of excursions across the whole island.

Spa Lindos

This Day Spa is very popular with guests. The 5-hour ‘Relaxation Day’ package is non-stop pampering, or you can choose a specific treatment from the list which includes facials, body scrubs and massage as well as manicures. Your Friendship host will be happy to arrange a visit.
