Location & area

The traditional 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 (or: Rodos, Rodi), 9km (around 6 miles) from the centre of the City of Rhodes (or: Rodos, Rodi). 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.



GUESTS staying at the house of Fournos of RhodesTraditionalHouses WILL HAVE THE CHANCE TO TASTE THE EVERY DAY LIFE OF A GREEK VILLAGE, while after a 10 minutes drive (in different directions) they could be at the City of Rhodes, or Faliraki, or to a number of crystal-water beaches.



GUESTS staying at the house of Fournos of RhodesTraditionalHouses will actually LIVE AMONG THE LOCAL RESIDENTS of Koskinou, while staying in a traditional house, carefully renovated to offer modern amenities.

They will have OPPORTUNITIES to meet and form lasting FRIENDSHIPS with the locals in many different occasions:
-while SHOPPING at one of Koskinou's SMALL FOOD STORES, where fresh vegetable and fruit from the LOCAL PRODUCE are brought-in daily;
-or, while dining in one of the five RESTAURANT of the village (just accept the unsolicited offer of a glass of local wine, and a vibrant conversation will most probably follow);

-or, while attending a panygi'ri (= LOCAL
FEAST, open to everybody, where good food, local wine and some extraordinary Greek dancing to the tunes of a live band can be found);

-or, by simply sitting outside their house after sunset – in a while, one of the villagers will probably approach you striking a conversation, only looking for the opportunity to tell you about the experiences of his/her lifetime.



Ready for a SWIM? A FIVE MINUTE to one-and-a-half hour DRIVE (depending on your taste, or simply on how hot you feel) will give you a wide range of choices: from isolated sandy beaches, to multi-ethnically crowded ones, to the surfers' paradise.



For some different day-time action you can try the WATER PARK (15 minutes), the Afandou GOLF range (20 minutes), the HORSE RIDING club (10 minutes), or HIKING at Profitis Elias(40 minutes).



For a NIGHT OUT, you are bound to find something for your choice in the VIBRANT NIGHTLIFE of the city of Rhodes (6km). Or, you might want to witness the really rough nights of Faliraki (7km).

It actually DOES NOT HAVE A BEDROOM.
Nevertheless, within its main salla there is one traditional high risen wooden 'sleeping platform'.
