Take a donkey-ride all the way to the sacred rock and live the experience of the local people’s transportation until only recently.

Explore the mystery of the past by visiting the temple of Lindia Athena at the very top level of the Acropolis and take your time to relish the astonishing 360 degree views of the deep blu Mediterraneanean sea, the picturesque natural harbors, the puzzle-like houses or the sun-dried mountains of Marmari.

Wonder inside the streets and get lost in the magical atmosphaire that connects yesterday with today. Walk until the end of the main harbor and visit the temple of Cleobulus the Lindian, one of the seven wise personalities and the ancient world.

“Μέτρον Άριστον – Do everything in life, as long as you maintain moderation” was one of his most famous quotes.

Lindos was founded by the Dorians led by the king Tlepolemus of Rhodes, who arrived in about the 10th century BC. It was one of six Dorian cities in the area known as the Dorian Hexapolis.

The eastern location of Rhodes made it a natural meeting place between the Greeks and the Phoenicians, and by the 8th century Lindos was a major trading centre. In the 6th century it was ruled by Cleobulus, one of the Seven Sages of Greece.

The importance of Lindos declined after the foundation of the city of Rhodes in the late 5th century. In classical times the acropolis of Lindos was dominated by the massive temple of Athena Lindia, which attained its final form in around 300 BC.

In Hellenistic and Roman times the temple precinct grew as more buildings were added. In early medieval times these buildings fell into disuse, and in the 14th century they were partly overlaid by a massive fortress built on the acropolis by the Knights of St John to defend the island against the Ottomans.

RHODES OLD & NEW TOWN
The capital of the Dodecanese, an island which is ideal not only for those who want to relax but also for those looking for an action-packed holiday! With its bright green hills, rich green valleys and uninterrupted line of golden beaches, Rhodes is truly a blessed place.

Add in the excellent facilities for tourism, the island’s special blend of cosmopolitan and traditional, and numerous cultural and archaeological sites and you’ve got the perfect holiday destination.

By far the largest and always the most powerful of the Dodecanese Islands, Rhodes abounds in beaches, wooded valleys and ancient history.

Whether you arrive in search of buzzing nightlife, languid sun worshipping, or diving in crystal-clear waters, or embark on a culture-vulture journey through past civilisations, it’s all here.

As you enter one of the largest medieval towns in Europe through the Gate of Freedom, it soon becomes obvious that the Old Town of Rhodes is a mosaic of different cultures and civilizations; rarely does a visitor have the chance to stroll within medieval walls and explore twenty-four centuries of history.

The fascinating medieval fortress-like buildings, the bastions, walls, gates, narrow alleys, minarets, old houses, fountains, tranquil and busy squares make it feel like you have stepped back into medieval times.  The Palace of the Grand Master is certainly the highlight of the Old Town.

The Palace, originally a Byzantine fortress built at the end of the 7th century A.D., was converted in the early 14th century by the Knights of the Order of Saint John into the residence of the Grand Master of the order and the administrative headquarters of their state; now it has been turned into a museum.

AROUND THE ISLAND
Wonder around the coastline and discover the typical Mediterranean landscaped beaches, from golden sand stretches, colorful pebbles to small cave-like shores. Swim in the crystal waters and explore the islands hidden treasures.

Hike to the mounts of Attaviros and be rewarded with spectacular views of the island and the Aegean. Take a tour to Embona and the local wineries and degust local varieties by small producers.

Visit Monolithos and enjoy a glass of wine while watching the sun getting drawn in the deep blue sea. Regenerate yourself in the seven springs and travel through the secret tunnel with the flowing water.

Drive to the butterfly valley and explore the island’s wildlife in a spectacular show of colours. Taste the local gastronomy and guide your senses through the finest delicacies of the island.

RHODES A MIGHTY MIX OF CONTRASTS
It would be impossible to sum up Rhodes in only a few sentences. But we hope to give you a little taste of this big island that has such diverse things to discover.

Explore the sites in your travel guide and then keep going – either strolling a few streets away from the souvenir shops, or driving down a road to a tiny village. That’s where you’ll find a side of Rhodes where you can still delve into the life that locals live.

Coloured by centuries and with the friendliest people, you’ll come upon everything from a tavern where mama still cooks, a row of bars where people dance in the street, fishermen selling their catch off a boat, or high winding roads with weather-beaten signs pointing to a cliff-enclosed bay.

In the north, you’ll find the main port, the enchanting and culturally-rich Old Town of Rhodes, as well as its buzzing new town counterpart. Both are alive with ancient or modern culture and so it’s no wonder that this is the epicenter from which tourism has developed over decades.

Further down the eastern coast is lovely Lindos – a village of stacked white houses spilling into the sea and topped by a fortress.

This too, is one of Rhodes’ most visited spots, so be warned you won’t be alone in wandering its maze of tiny streets. Its beauty shines brightest in the morning or evening, so take our advice and go early or late. The farther south or inland you go, the farther you’ll leave the crowds behind.

The eastern coastline is known for its beaches – long strips of sand or pebbles brimming with bars, or remote spots where it’s just a handful of people enjoying nature. Intact villages are dotted throughout, where you’ll be warmly greeted by curious locals.

The windswept western coast has a rougher edge, with winding roads descending to small and stunning craggy coves. Take a detour through the peaceful, mountainous interior, careful of roaming sheep and goats on the way.

In addition to spectacular scenery, you’ll find traces of the island’s history and residential areas where traditions still mix with modern life. Whether you’re a foodie, a hiker, a dreamer or dancer – or simply a sun-hungry urbanite, we’ll help you shape your perfect escape.

ROOMS
Inspired by the nomadic way of life, the cosy character comes from natural surfaces and earthy tones. Comfy pillows and hand-picked accessories add to the warm, bohemian atmosphere. A personal space in which to kick back and slow down.

The true highlights are the private verandas which border a pool. With sunbeds or hammocks for deep relaxation, whole days can drift by in your private paradise.

Minimalist architectural lines are offset by a mix of natural surfaces, earthy tones and boho-style accessories.

LOFT SUITE WITH VERANDA AND SHARING POOL
The 38sqm Loft Suites, laid out on two floors, offer lots of space to relax. All Loft Suites comprise a sleeping area with double bed or twin beds for two adults and a lounge area with whirlpool.

The lounge area opens out onto the private veranda and a long, turquoise blue swimming pool. Natural surfaces, warm tones, local flavors and bohemian design elements create a unique laid-back atmosphere.

BITES, BEATS AND BREEZY BEACH STYLE

SUN-KISSED FOOD FOR THE SOUL
Inspired by the local tradition of sharing and gathering, chef Dimitris Sourdis gives his own twist to Meze plates from Greece and its neighbours. Take your pick from the meats and seafood options, which we’ll grill just right over a charcoal flame.

It’s all about freedom of choice, so you’ll always find both healthy and indulgent selections. Whether it’s a juicy burger, grilled fish, pasta or a vegan dish, it’s been made with passion and the purest ingredients. We source most from the island’s farms and even grow the herbs right on site.

GOOD FOR THE MIND, GOOD FOR THE BODY
Breathe easy into the day or evening with an invigorating class at our yoga shala. Salute the sun – and we mean this in more than the yogic sense. Classes take place on our open-air terrace. To really perfect those poses, teacher Stavroula is also available for one-to-one sessions.

For cardio and weights, our well-equipped gym will ensure every muscle gets its full attention. For added motivation or help getting started, let George our personal trainer give you a boost.

If you prefer to mix nature and culture with your athletic activities, join George for a hike up Tsambika hill. It starts just where Casa Cook merges with the mountain and you’ll climb 200 metres to the monastery that crowns its peak.

INDULGE YOUR WANDERLUST
Whole days could easily be spent at Casa Cook without a moment to spare. Yet we’ll also tempt you with our off-site adventures. Sail the Aegean with a local crew.

For the claustrophobia-free, a 186 metre-long tunnel leads to a lake at the end of the path. The springs themselves lie in a cool and verdant valley, enclosed by enormous plane and pine trees. The easy 2.8 km hike takes two hours, including transportation to and from the hotel.

TSAMBIKA MOUNTAIN: HIKE THE HILL
The narrow pathway begins where the hotel grounds end, rising to the fabled monastery Panagia Tsambika that crowns the mountain.

After climbing the rough terrain in the tracks of sheep and goats, the path enters a pine tree woodland, alighting upon the 312 stone steps that lead to the peak and pilgrimage site. Your efforts are rewarded with all-round views, including the bays and beaches of Kolymbia and Tsambika on the other side.

The medium intensity hike is led by our guide at a comfortable pace. He’ll share the history of the monastery and point out the sights. The hike takes two hours, starting and ending at Casa Cook Rhodes.

RHODES OLD TOWN WALKING TOUR
Upon entering the walls of the Old Town of Rhodes, you will step into the oldest inhabited medieval city in Europe. It’s not only a UNESCO world heritage site, but also a vibrant town with 6,000 residents.

The walking tour will take you through the eras of history. Its transition from a great Hellenistic city to the Greek Byzantine era; from the periods of medieval, Gothic crusaders to Ottoman, Italian and modern times.

Each epoch has graced the town with its own architectural style, not least of which are the glorious buildings by the Knights of St. John Hospitallers. Marvel at grand monuments and traditional houses, cobblestoned alleyways and lush garden courtyards.

There’s a dizzying mix of monasteries, mosques, synagogues and Greek Orthodox churches. Woven throughout are traditional baths, palaces, forts and gates. Lively town squares with shops, cafes and restaurants show how history lives on through locals and visitors.

The guided tour is between 2 and 2½ hours, with plenty of time to stop in between. It ends at a charming restaurant for lunch or dinner.

HISTORY

Gelsomino has a colourful past; designed and built in 1927 by the Italian architect Rodolfo Petracco it was originally a guest-house for Italian officials. It is located in an area between the sea and the gardens surrounding the Catholic Church and schools.

The main entrance leading to the ground floor is located on Akti Miaouli Street. The rear of the building, which has access to the beach, consists of a large veranda that is canopied by a pergola resting on the original pillars.

The hotel operated during the time when the Italian colonists settled on the island and later hosted the island’s first Greek tourists. Gelsomino remained a hotel until the ‘Junta’ coup, when it was captured by the military administration and used for several years as the Kos Officers Club.

When the hotel was given back to the Municipality of the island, maintenance and repairs were carried out and its premises were used by the local television station and urban transport business. It also housed the tourist information office of the Municipality of Kos.
