This house has been renovated with traditional materials and Eco friendly techniques which help to keep it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. The joy of this house, is that it is away from the mainstream tourism areas of the island. You can choose when to join the hustle and bustle of tourist hotspots, or totally escape and easily explore the wilder, emptier parts of the island from here.

Malona is located in easy reach of lots of great beaches, 5 mins to your nearest 3 beaches, Sandy, fine pebbles or stones are your choices. 15 mins from Lindos, 45 mins to Rhodes town, and 45 mins over to the wilder areas of Monolithos. A car is a necessary part of a holiday here!
