What you should know…
- It's a wonderful beach but due to the sand being mixed with pebbles we recommend packing beach shoes.
- Villas Ritsos and Pindar are situated alongside, great if you want to book for a bigger group.
- Due to the villas architecture the staircases may be unsafe for young children.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa StraboThe villa is on Genardi Beach. You can wander along the beach to local tavernas and beach bars or the town of Gennadi is 20 minute walk away. Rhodes is an island with more than its fair share of natural beauty and landmark sights. The UNESCO site of Lindos with its famed Acropolis is a short drive away is worth seeing. Down the coast, you also have resorts such as Ammoudes, Kolympia and, perhaps best-known, Faliraki. While its reputation may precede it, this is not the hedonism capital it once was. A children’s water-park and the beautiful Anthony Quinn Bay may tempt you there during the day, and an aquarium and scuba-diving school also embrace the aquatic theme.
The Lindos Acropolis is as spectacular as the coastal views it enjoys, and definitely worth seeing. Down the coast, you also have resorts such as Ammoudes, Kolympia and, perhaps best-known, Faliraki. While its reputation may precede it, this is not the hedonism capital it once was. A children’s water-park and the beautiful Anthony Quinn Bay may tempt you there during the day, and an aquarium and scuba-diving school also embrace the aquatic theme.
The town of Rhodes is as good a place to start as any, and lies on the northern tip of the island. A walk along the medieval walls of the Old Town will offer you some beautiful views, accessible from the must-see Palace of the Grand Masters. Part of a World Heritage Site, this is also the location of a fine museum which offers the chance to familiarise yourself with Rhodian history, extending as far back as the 3rd century BC.
Another museum worth checking out is the Museum of Modern Greek Art, with an eclectic collection only rivalled by Athens. The New Town area is visually appealing itself, with an Art Deco influence present in much of its architecture. Mandráki harbour is the home of Evangelismós Cathedral, where you can find some impressive frescoes.
At the very southern tip of the island, Prasonisi’s location – dividing the Aegean and the Mediterranean – is considered prime wind-surfing territory. But if that sounds a little too exhilarating, Rhodes’ more sedate attractions like the Valley of the Butterflies, numerous wineries and the seven springs of the wonderfully scenic Epta Piges nature reserve, will provide just as pleasant a day out.

Best Suited For: All AgesSouth Rhodes offers a more relaxed, unspoilt alternative to the island's busier northern resorts, making it an excellent choice for families seeking space, safety, and a slower pace of life. The area is characterised by long, quiet beaches, low-rise development, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that suits both young children and parents. Beaches such as Glystra, Kiotari, and Plimmiri have shallow waters, minimal crowds, and soft sand or pebbles - perfect for paddling, building sandcastles, or simply enjoying a calm swim. Many of the local beach tavernas are family-run, offering fresh food, high chairs, and a laid-back setting where children are genuinely welcomed.
For families seeking variety, Rhodes also delivers a wealth of activities. The Butterfly Valley (Petaloudes) is a shaded paradise where children can observe thousands of butterflies in a lush natural setting. The island’s waterparks—especially the Faliraki Water Park—are well-equipped and cater to toddlers through to teens. Boat trips, glass-bottom cruises, and even gentle hiking routes through pine-scented hills provide opportunities for shared adventures. With a strong hospitality culture, child-friendly menus, and a wide choice of family-oriented accommodation, Rhodes makes travelling with kids not only easy but genuinely enjoyable.
Families with older children will also find plenty to do in the region. Activities such as snorkelling, stand-up paddleboarding, and sailing lessons are available from local operators in Gennadi and Lachania. Day trips to nearby Lindos - just a short drive north - offer a manageable dose of sightseeing with donkey rides, shaded alleyways, and the dramatic acropolis climb (which adventurous kids usually love). For wildlife enthusiasts, the nearby Apolakkia Lake provides a peaceful nature spot with birdwatching opportunities and easy walking trails.

Good location
It was very nice there. The house is very cozy and new. Check-in was very easy and flexible. Dona kindly showed us around and was always available. The house has a good location and you have sun all day. You can also get to the sea quickly, which gives a good change between the pool and the sea.

Recommend it 200%!
Wonderful stay! We were a group of friends with a young baby and had a great time! Everything was planned for the little one.
Donna hosted us very warmly, she is very warm and has plenty of good tips to give!!!
The villa is exceptional and the setting even more… access to the beach just a few steps away and without anyone… the dream!
I recommend it 200%! -
100% recommend
We stayed here at the end of June 2024 for a week and, of course, we wished we could stay longer. Not only because Rhodes is a stunning island with so many beautiful things to see and do but because the accommodation was truly perfect. After a long day of travel, we were welcomed by Donna at the villa who got us settled in quickly and with ease. The welcome basket was a really nice touch and Donna gave us fantastic recommendations for places to eat in the local village, Gennadi, as well as some top spots to visit for breathtaking views. We had some amazing meals and got to see some really gorgeous places without the stress of figuring out the details. We stayed in the middle villa and we cannot rave enough about it. The private beach and the pool were perfect! The interior design and overall quality of the villa was exactly as shown in the listing - high-end with award-winning accent pieces and very clean! It had everything we needed. 100% recommend and will definitely be coming back!

Exceptional!
We can recommend the house without exception! Everything was clean and as described here, everything was available. We were greeted by Donna, a great woman. She briefly explained everything to us and was available at all times. We would always vacation in the villa!

Wonderful!
The villa at Gennadi was wonderful!
You need to be aware that a vacation home is a commodity. Of course, you can see this in the one or the other corner in smaller details. You may also hear your neighbors, depending on how active they are. So if you're super fussy, every detail has to be like new for you and you want guaranteed 100% peace, this might not be the right place for you. For us, however, it was just that! We had the middle villa. All of our neighbors (incl. change of guests) were very acceptable, so we never felt disturbed. Even one or the other imperfect detail did not cloud our experience in any way.
The big plus - in addition to the obvious - is Donna. Donna will be your on-site contact and is a wonderful, self-sacrificing and lovable person. She was always available and went the extra mile for us.

Great Family Holiday
I’ve been looking forward to staying here in Gennardi and the villa has certainly been a positive aspect of our holiday.
We arrived quite late on a Saturday night, the track down to the villas isn’t the clearest but not difficult to find.
We stayed here during April, which was pretty good weather but not boiling for the whole two weeks. This meant that the pool (which is not heated) was not for the faint hearted. However, it was a good sized pool and I went in most days. The sea is literally a stones throw from the bottom of the terrace. The beach could do with some cleaning, but that seems to be a trend in general around south Rhodes.
A car is clearly a must and you won’t walk around this area much, especially this time of year.
The villa itself was plenty big enough for my family of 5, great sized bedrooms and ideal facilities. We used our Netflix account on the TV on those chilly evenings.
The villa was exceptionally clean, beautifully designed and had a lift if you have people who struggle with stairs.
I would highly recommend this villa.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
