Lindos Horizon Studios

My wife and I had a great 14 days from 6th to 20th June 2918. We arrived at 1am and were met by Stavropol who had stayed on to meet us. He kindly showed us to our studio and carried my wife’s luggage. The bar by the pool was still open with about 5 or 6 guests enjoying their drinks. We were told that the bar would bee open till 1.30 and this allowed us a chance for a drink after the flight and bus transfer. We were one of the last to be dropped off which added to our journey. It would be a great idea to organise a taxi or private transfer. The location of the Lindos Horizon is excellent as it is about 5 minutes walk from the bus station and main road. There is a small supermarket down on the right as you look towards the Acropolis. A larger supermarket is located beside the bus stop. You can cross the road and walk down into Lindos town. There is a good taxi service up and down which is located at the”donkey station”. Most of the town is car- free full of narrow winding streets full of restaurants. The Lindos Horizon has a snack bar. Raiders the swimming pool. Breakfasts are available and are fairly cheap. I have photo of the complete menu which you will see later. Some guests are in the Horizon most of the time. In Lindos town there is a plethora of fine restaurants. We ate in about 9 or 10 different restaurants. In my view the three best are Dionysis, Alex’s and Stefanos which are all side by side. The Lindos Horizon is one of best and friendliest hotels that I have ever been in it is very clean, the staff work their socks off all the time. The owner Stavros is there all the time and deals with anything needed doing immediately putting guests first. The barman, Niko, is hardworking and has a great taste in rock music. All the food is cooked by an incredible lady who produces great meals and snacks. In all my time there I never heard a single complaint about the food. There are blocks of studios and apartments. The design allows all rooms to have a sea view with a balcony to have breakfast or a drink at sunset. Would I return? Of course at the drop of a hat.

Just returned from yet another fantastic holiday to Horizons, the weather was beautiful especially as it was the first week of October - think we saw one cloud all week. Stravos and his team really are the perfect hosts, going the extra mile to ensure we have a great holiday, the apartments are spacious, clean and all boost an amazing view out to the Acropolis. Always plenty of comfy sun lounger eventhou the pool was very cold this time! The food in the poolbar is very good and not overly priced, we ate most lunchtimes which we wouldn't normally do. We go down to the village each night for dinner, there is so many to choose from but we always manage to fit in our favourites!! Thank you Stravos….see you next year!

Just back after two weeks in Horizon. This is a small family run apartment complex and from the moment we arrived to find a staff member waiting at the gate to take our luggage to the farewell hug from Stavros the owner we felt welcomed and at home here. Everywhere is spotless and beautifully maintained. Pool area has sea view - plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas. Pool bar offers food and bar day and night although the menu is British rather than Greek / Mediterranean which suits the guest profile which was exclusively British when we were there. This is representative of Lindos which we found to be a predominantly British resort. Our studio Apartment was spacious with lovely view and large terrace - we asked for a quiet apt on top floor ( 2 storey) and that is what we had. Kitchen is basic but we hadn't intended to use it anyway! Plenty of hot water and nice large bathroom. Only quibble was very worn towels which we put down to being end of season. Location is super with a real sense of calm , no 'pool games ' or loud music and wild mountain sheep and goats on the hill beside pool which were fascinating to watch. 15 mins easy walk downhill to Lindos but there is a supermarket and a very good bar / restaurant mid way. Walk back up was not too steep for us but we often took a taxi as parts of the road are not well lit and have no footpath. Plenty of taxis and only €5 to get home. The location was a lifesaver for us as we did not realise the extent of 'over tourism ' in Lindos. Yes , it is a quaint village with narrow cobbled streets , and the acropolis but it is so packed with tourists even end of Sept that it is unpleasant. Day trippers mean that there is literally no room to walk so we only went in during the day to climb the acropolis and see the historic church. Shops cater to the tourist souvenir market mainly with only a handful of nicer shops. Nights are a bit calmer and Restaurants are excellent and serve wonderful Greek food which was the only sense of Greece we found in Lindos. There are lots of 'English breakfasts ' and steak and chips on offer as well for those who want to stick to familiar food. We never had a bad meal in 14 nights. Favourite three restaurants Dionysos, Alex, Lindos Ice Bar ( mid way between Horizon and village). While we won't return to Lindos we would definitely recommend Lindos Horizon.
