Villas in Archangelos
Archangelos suits pool-villa stays on east Rhodes, in a town of potters and olive growers about 30 km south of Rhodes town. The town sits at about 160 m rather than on the shore, so the beaches and Lindos are drives rather than walks.

About Archangelos
Archangelos is a town on the east side of Rhodes, with 5,384 residents at the 2011 census, set at about 160 m rather than on the shore. Settlements near the coast were abandoned after the 7th century because of pirate raids, and people moved inland. Pottery has always been a major trade here, alongside tourism, stockbreeding, olive oil and citrus. On a hill near the town are the ruins of a fortress the Knights Hospitaller built after 1453, known as the castle of Saint John. The homes are scattered across the surrounding countryside, so think of the address as around Archangelos. Most have a private pool and a garden. The east coast has almost continuous sandy beaches with calm water, while the west is stonier and rougher. Rhodes has mild winters, and most rain falls between November and January.

Getting to Archangelos
Rhodes Diagoras airport is on the west side of the island, about 14 km south-west of Rhodes city, with seasonal flights from Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton and Stansted. Archangelos is about 30 km south of Rhodes town, so hire a car. Island buses run, but they are often full and often late.
When to go to Archangelos
Summers are hot and very dry, with almost no rain from June to August, and the sea is warmest in August. Rhodes is the most visited destination in Greece after Crete, and in summer the number of vehicles more than doubles, with limited parking around Rhodes Old Town. Most rain falls between November and January. All the London routes to the island are seasonal, so winter access is thinner.

Archangelos villa holidays: questions answered
Is Archangelos on the coast?
Not on the shore. The town stands at about 160 m, because people abandoned the coast after the 7th century to escape pirate raids and settled inland. The sandy east coast beaches are a drive away.
What is Archangelos known for?
Pottery, first of all. It has always been one of the main occupations, and the town also lives from tourism, olive oil, citrus and stockbreeding. Ruins of a Hospitaller castle, built after 1453, stand on a nearby hill.
Is Archangelos a good base for Lindos?
As a drive, yes. Lindos is about 50 km from Rhodes town by the bus route, against about 30 km for Archangelos, and its acropolis and beaches make an easy day out by car from here.
Is the sea calmer near Archangelos than on the west coast?
Usually. Rhodes' east side has almost continuous sandy beaches with calm water, while the western beaches are mostly stony and the sea rougher. Wind on the island mostly comes from the west.
Do the villas near Archangelos have pools?
Most do, and most have a garden. The homes are mainly houses for around five people with three bedrooms, with a few sleeping a dozen or more. Nearly all have air conditioning.
