Rafael Studios  

As the saying goes, 'a change is as good as a rest'. And here, you get both in one pop. This peaceful spot's about as far removed from city life as it gets. Honking car horns are replaced by twittering birds. Skyscrapers swapped for whitewashed houses. And traffic's traded for huge open roads. As for the hotel itself, it's surrounded by the sort of scenery you'd expect from Greece. It may sound like a cliche, but this place really is like climbing into a postcard. It's all blue skies, craggy mountains and mile upon mile of green trees. And a short journey leads you to the sparkling sands and glistening seas of Lindos Beach. Of course, you can always shun the shore and stay close to home. The Rafael has its very own swimming pool that sits slap bang in the middle of a large stone terrace. Unlike other hotels, this area rarely gets crowded, so there's no need to drop early morning towels onto lonely loungers. Entertainment-wise, it's pretty much a low-key affair. But that's the charm of the place. It's rustic rather than raucous, so you won't find any booming discos and two-for-ones here. What you will find, however, are quaint restaurants and traditional tavernas. And the best thing of all? It's all right on your doorstep.
