Fanes (near Tholos)
The picturesque town is located on the North West coast of Rhodes. This area is well known for its spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, the crystal clear sea, and the quiet, isolated beach dotted with Tamarisk trees giving some natural shade. The beach is long and flat, with mainly fine sharp sand and shingle. There are a couple of tavernas at the back of the beach. Windsurfing and kite surfing are hugely popular here, given the wide flat sands and the northerly exposure. Located just 22km from Rhodes City, the highlights of city life can be accessed with a short car journey.
Fanes is an area of Rhodes that is largely untouched as far as tourism goes and there are no large hotels or even apartment blocks to spoil the pleasant way of life that has existed here for many hundreds of years. Most parts of Fanes are still highly agricultural, with many fields and private plantations where farmers grow fruits and vegetables.
Our villas are located on the hillside above and behind the village centre of Fanes. A peaceful location that offers stunning scenery and views over the surrounding countryside and out towards the sea. On a clear day you can see Turkey and some of the smaller islands that are dotted around the Turkish coast.
The Ancient remains of the City of Kamiros are a fifteen minute drive from Fanes and are some of the best remains of an ancient city to be found in Rhodes. Kamiros was one of three founding cities of Rhodes.
Fanes offers a peaceful and relaxing holiday for couples, groups and families alike.
