Hotel Description
Nestling against the rocky flank of an ancient acropolis dating from the 10th century BC, Melenos Lindos offers spectacular views of the Azure Aegean and the coastline beyond. The temple above, enclosed in its medieval fortress creates a stunning backdrop to this truly distinctive accommodation.

Whilst paying homage to the simple Lindian village architecture, the detail of the sandstone facades with their hand carved motifs; paved pebble mosaics and handcrafted interiors are breathtaking. Colour from trailing Bougainvilleas, fragrance from Frangipani, Lavender and Jasmine complete the ambience.

A passion for Greek history and culture combined with 21st century expectations of luxury and service will make your stay at the Melenos Lindos an unforgettable experience.
Luxury Hotel Accommodation
Luxury Suites at Melenos Lindos

The design of the rooms of Melenos-Lindos are inspired by the traditional Lindos style which evolved in the 17th C. Each room has an individual variation of the distinctive raised wooden sleeping platforms built from elaborate hand-carved cedar. Some rooms have hand painted ceilings and Lindian pointed arches; some have big inviting corner sofas for lounging and reading. Every room contains a unique selection of fabrics, ceramics and rare items from the collection of owner-operator Michalis Melenos.
Each of the immaculate ensuite bathrooms in the hotel has a striking, Iznik style hand-painted ceramic tile panel executed in Turkey by the artist-designer. Independently controlled air-con, IDD, email connection, mini bar, TV, DVD library access and luxurious Frette linen complete the inviting ensemble.

Honeymoon suites at Melenos Lindos
These three large vaulted rooms which create a special exotic and romantic atmosphere have become known as the honeymoon suites. They share an enclosed terrace which is set apart from most of the other rooms. Each room has a large sleeping platform and a linked corner sofa piled high with cushions. Elaborate cedar woodwork with ultramarine blue glass divides the bathrooms, each distinguished with a pair of big basins and a wet area which has a marble hamam basin, offering alternative bathing for adventurous young lovers.
Facilities

Restaurant at Melenos Lindos

Our highly qualified chefs have imagination and enthusiasm and a diverse approach to their menus. While respecting their Greek tradition and the aromatic influences from Asia Minor, they seek a broader balance without limitation; always eager to try a new combination of ingredients and flavours to widen their already impressive repertoire.

However, like all reputable chefs these days, they acknowledge that high quality fresh raw ingredients are the essential basis to a good meal; they understand that often only very subtle enhancement is enough to give a dish individuality.

Weddings at Melenos Lindos
Only a few steps away from the hotel, the tiny centuries-old chapel of Agios Demetrios is perched on the rocky hillside. It is very conveniently placed for a wedding or a Christening to be followed by a sumptuous Melenos-Lindos banquet.

Location
About 45 kilometers south of the town of Rhodes is the Lindos Acropolis, a massive fortified outcrop which dominates the landscape. It is the site of the temple to Athena established by the Dorians more than 3000 years ago. The present village of Lindos which nestles below the Acropolis, was once the centre of a powerful city-state. In ancient times it was an important place of pilgrimage. Over the centuries Lindos remained a centre of trade activity because of its two natural harbours. <br /><br />Because of its strategic position between the East and the West, the island of Rhodes attracted many invading forces. When the Ottomans took control of Rhodes in 1523, Lindos prosperity continued. By the early 17th C the unique style of the Lindos Mansions had evolved. These distinctive houses form the basis of the design inspiration for Melenos-Lindos
