Plan your journey from Lardos
Tucked away inland from the coast, next to the verdant parkland of Katafigio Agrias Zois Xortis, Lardos is a breathtaking village brimming with beauty. Collect your Avis hire car from our Lardos station and you’ll reach the town centre in just five minutes. The quaint coastal villages of Pefki and Lindos are just a 15-minute drive away.
A small market town sitting to the east of the island, Lardos is a great starting point for your tour of Rhodes. With a feast of mouthwatering restaurants and pavement cafes, life in Lardos revolves around the impressive village square. Here you’ll see locals drinking Greek coffee or Ouzo and playing Tavli – a game reminiscent of backgammon. Take an empty drinking bottle and join people drawing natural spring water from the fountain in the square.
Adjacent to Lardos, the village of Lindos perches delicately on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and is one of the island’s main draws. With acres of history, simply wandering the ancient winding streets lined with whitewashed buildings is a delight. Be sure to visit the ruins of the Acropolis, the reconstructed temple of Lindian Athena and the crumbling remains of the ancient Ampitheatre. Of course, the beaches of Lindos are another of its main draws.
The small town of Pefki is also nearby and blessed with an equally idyllic seafront. Quiet, laidback and relaxed, this is the perfect place to sit back and soak up the sun, sand and sea.
With old-fashioned charm and centuries of history, Lardos and its surroundings are nothing short of spectacular. Enjoy them for yourself with your Avis hire car.
