Lardos holidays:
The old town square or “plateia” in Greek, at the center of the inland village of Lardos attracts many local visitors and foreign tourists for its Italian Era Vrissi. This is a water beautiful fountain in the middle of the square where one can lounge or even take a dip and cool off. The water coming out from the fountain is said to be natural spring and can quench anyone’s thirst with its cool, sweet water. There are also lots of other attractions in Lardos that makes it a worthy stop in your wonderful holiday vacation to
Rhodes Island
.
Lardos takes pride in preserving old
Greek traditions and customs, especially in weddings. Here you can rightly witness a traditional Greek wedding held in one of the time-beaten Orthodox churches in the village. You will distinctly enjoy the wedding reception where a whole clan of a traditional Greek family will make you feel like one of the family. You will also love the traditional food served here, like the Pastitsio or grilled lamb, cooked to tenderness and delicious to the bones.
As you take a leisurely walk around Lardos, you will see the church of Agios Taxiarchas built hundreds of years ago. It has a wide courtyard where tall cypress trees line up the entrance towards the impressive bell tower. If you want to explore farther, then
Lindos is a few short walks or a bicycle ride away, where you’ll find the ancient acropolis that the old Lindos town is known for.
Despite its seemingly olden characteristic, Lardos boasts of modern
hotels and villas and can be easily accessed from
Rhodes International Airport . It also has all the modern facilities at par with other commercial centers in Rhodes Island. A night in Lardos is lively and fun, with live music in the square and pubs and bars surrounding the old fountain. There are hotels with disco and karaoke that will make your evening equally unforgettable as when you are in Rhodes town.
