Lardos Travel Guide

 sandysmith Says:  OK eventually after a few hiours lazing on the beach we went up to the road to walk the rest of the way into Pefkos resort itself - parts of the beach after the Sunrise hotel were quite rocky and it looked not really possible to walk all the way into Pefos by that way after... 

 sandysmith Says:  The second day here we set off to walk to Pefkos - some 4-5 km away - along the beach. By road is a bit tedious along the main road and then down another busy road which goes through Pefkos and onto to Lindos. However it was hot and by the time we got to the edge of Pefkos I... 

 sandysmith Says:  The church in Lardos is tucked away in a quiet corner away from the bustling cafes, with its tall bell tower and half hidden by cypress trees. A quaint fountain stands in one corner of its peaceful pebbled courtyard - often a features of churches in greece. 

 sandysmith Says:  Lardos Beach was bout 500m walk from our hotel base. Other hotel complexes front the sand and shingle beach providing the usual facilities - water sports, sunbeds and food outlets for snacks. Not the best of beaches in the area but good enough if you don't want to go too... 

 sandysmith Says:  Lardos is a smalll village some 10km from more well known Lindos in the southern part of Rhodes Island. The village is typically greek and caters for the residents as much as the visitors with its popular cafe and bars around its village fountain - bustling by day and even... 

 sandysmith Says:  Great location just above Pefkos 's sandy beach. The frappes here were wonderful - in fact I got the last one of the season - a choc mocha one which was dlicious. Also enjoyed the usua filled pitta rollls - very filling. Best of all were the Baklava's with ice-cream -... 

 sandysmith Says:  The centre of Lardos village is by the village fountain and crossroads surrounded by bars and cafs. The Square bar seemed a popular place with the locals - a ggod place to people watch and enjoy a frappe. 

 sandysmith Says:  Serving greek food for over 25 years in Lardos - enjoyed a lovely meal in here. Bit more upmaket than the Kali Kardia but excellent quality and again good ambience. We both enjoyed our fillet steaks stuffed with prawns bacon an cheese - totally delicious. 

 sandysmith Says:  Old House roof terrace restaurant was another Lardos eaterie we tried and quite enjoyed. Good for ambience and views over the village square - reasonably priced menu - main courses from about 5 - 7 euros. I enjoyed my Lardos Lamb casserole with cheese on top but hubby was... 

 sandysmith Says:  The restaurant is just next to the small office of George' s car rental - in fact he owns the property of the restaurant. Unpretensious surroundings but we enjoyed the food so much and really good value that we atre here several times during our week. Wide choice of dishes -... 

 sandysmith Says:  Asklipeio was just a few kilometres down to the road yo us in Lardos so we made plans to visit here to see its main attractions; the splendid Byzantine momuments of the Church of the Dormiton of the Virgin and the castle ruins.The church dates from 1060 and as you can see... 

 sandysmith Says:  Lachania is a tiny artisitc village - up and coming for homes which have been lovingly restored with their blue doors and white-washed walls and soon for rent - a lot of property development is now occuring we noticed in May 2006.This village is tucked away amidst green... 

 sandysmith Says:  A few kilometers inland from Lardos village is the village of Laerma - nothing special just a typical untouristic greek village. We stopped off here for a coffee served by a typical greek gent - our mug of nescafe was almost as strong as a greek coffee and was served with a... 

 sandysmith Says:  Further on from Laerma some km along a pleasant tree-lined road is this pleasant monastery complex of the Archangel of Micheal. My guide book said the road was a reasonable dirt track but if fact was now tarmac - funds form the Athens Olympic games have resulted in improving...
