About this property
Villa Colossus is situated in the ‘village of colours’ Fanes, 13km south-west of the airport. Fanes is delightful, bright and cheery after a village initiative and local artist Loukas Nikolitsis breathed new life into this corner of Rhodes by refreshing the old village houses. Bright, colourful colours were used to make Fanes a very unique place. With a splendid beach boasting a range of water sports, charming tavernas and a picturesque harbour on the doorstep, Villa Colossus is a popular pick for guests wanting a comfortable base on this beautiful island.
The villa is modern and relatively minimal in design, making it very easy to step right in and enjoy your holiday. There are three bedrooms, one of which is on the ground floor. This is a spacious double bedroom with its own bathroom. Also on the ground floor is a lounge and dining room, a modern well-equipped kitchen and a guest toilet. The lounge opens to the lovely terrace and swimming pool.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms, one a double and the other a twin bedroom. They share another spacious bathroom. The upstairs balcony is large, offering lovely views towards the town and sea.
Guests are sure to spend most of their time outside enjoying the brilliant Greek sunshine. The swimming pool is a delight, set on the terrace with a lovely pebble surround. There are plenty of sun loungers where you can enjoy your holiday, read and relax. You can enjoy pre-dinner drinks by the pool and alfresco dining using the villa’s barbecue. The planting is pretty and colourful, making this an enjoyable spot to return to after a day on one of the island’s gorgeous beaches.
Villa Colossus is just a very short distance from the lovely flat beach of Fanes where pretty tamarisk trees offer some shade. The walkthrough to the beach is a delight and makes you smile at the charming colours. Windsurfing and kite-surfing are very popular on the beach given the wide flat sands and the exposure to the northern winds. Traditional Greek tavernas offer the catch of the day. The village is nestled between Soroni and Kalavarda.
Soroni is a small, pretty village where the most popular religious festival on the island is held at the chapel Aghios Soulas on the 29th and 30th July every year. It is totally unspoiled and boasts a few shops and charming tavernas as well as a small beach. With fertile soil, olive groves, vineyards and citrus groves thrive.
Rhodes is known as the ‘Island of the Sun God Helios’. Visitors can enjoy the magnificent explosion of colours and activities that this wonderful island has to offer. As well as many spectacular beaches, the island is home to some unique and beautiful flora and fauna in its rich green valleys and boasts amazing views from its chalky mountains. Visitors must explore the interior of the island to find its hidden treasures. Steeped in history, Rhodes offers a wonderful blend of nature, tradition and cosmopolitan attractions.
The Old Town of Rhodes is a fascinating mosaic of different cultures and civilisations. Medieval fortress-like buildings meet narrow alleys, fountains and bustling squares. The Palace of the Grand Master is certainly the highlight of the Old Town, and the cobblestoned Street of the Knights is one of the best-preserved medieval streets in Europe. Outside of the Old Town, magnificent Venetian, neoclassic and contemporary buildings will catch your eye.
The island boasts some of the best beaches in Greece, from secluded hidden coves to crowded, cosmopolitan hubs of activity. There is something for everyone. Lindos, Anthony Quinn, Tsambika, Kallithea, Faliraki and Agathi are just some of the popular hotspots.
The picturesque village of Koskinou is famed as the prettiest village in Rhodes and is decorated with colourful plant pots. The traditional Greek houses are as pretty as a picture with bright, vibrant colours. Koskinou is an exciting labyrinth of tiny, winding, cobblestone streets with fabulous splashes of red, blue, yellow, green, pink and turquoise.
