For those of us flying out of Manchester or Liverpool, Rhodes has long been a firm favourite for a dependable dose of Mediterranean sunshine. Koskinou offers a unique perspective on this popular island, blending the quiet, traditional atmosphere of a Greek village with easy access to the golden coastline that makes the region so beloved by British travellers.

Whether you are looking for a relaxing couples' escape or a base for a family holiday, Koskinou serves as an excellent starting point. It provides a peaceful retreat from the busier tourist hubs, while still keeping the convenience of a package holiday firmly in reach.

Where to Stay in Koskinou and Rhodes

When planning your stay in this part of Rhodes, location is everything. Depending on whether you prefer the quiet charm of a village setting or the convenience of a full-service resort, there are options to suit your needs:

• Eden Roc Resort Hotel: Located in Rhodes, this 5-star beachfront resort is perfectly situated between Rhodes Town and Faliraki, making it an ideal choice for those who want both relaxation and easy travel access.

Getting There and When to Go

Getting to this part of Greece is straightforward for those travelling from the UK. Regular flights from major northern airports like Manchester and Liverpool make Rhodes highly accessible. Once you land, the journey to your destination is typically short, meaning you can often be checking into your hotel within an hour of leaving the airport terminal.

As for timing, the classic season runs from May through to October. For those who enjoy the heat, July and August are perfect, though the shoulder months of May, June, and September are often preferred by those looking to enjoy milder temperatures and fewer crowds.

Beaches and Resort Life

The coastline surrounding this area is one of the main draws for British holidaymakers. You can expect a mix of long, sandy stretches and smaller, pebbled coves that are perfect for a refreshing dip in the Aegean Sea. For families, the resort areas are particularly well-organised, offering sunbeds, umbrellas, and a variety of watersports to keep the children entertained.

If you prefer a slower pace, the proximity to the coast allows you to spend your mornings lounging by the sea and your afternoons exploring the more authentic, quiet corners of the island. It is the best of both worlds: the high-standard amenities of a modern resort combined with the timeless beauty of the Greek landscape.

Food and Things to Do

A holiday in this region is as much about the food as it is about the sun. You will find plenty of opportunities to sample local Greek cuisine, from fresh seafood caught daily to classic dishes like moussaka and souvlaki. Dining out is a central part of the experience, and many travellers enjoy the tradition of eating al fresco on a warm, clear evening.

Beyond the table, there is plenty to explore. A short trip to Rhodes Town provides an opportunity to wander through historical streets and experience the charm of the old town centre. It is a fantastic way to spend a day if you want to swap your beach towel for some sightseeing.

Who Should Choose Koskinou?

Koskinou is a great fit for those who want to experience a more traditional side of Rhodes without sacrificing the comforts of a package holiday. It suits couples looking for a romantic and quiet atmosphere, as well as families who want a balance of pool time, beach days, and light exploration. Because of its central location, it is also a practical choice for anyone who enjoys getting out and seeing different parts of the island, rather than staying in one spot for the entire duration of their trip.
