House at only 150m (165 yards) from the beach

About Linda Joanna

Both my husband's grandparents are born on the island but moved later on to Egypt. Yannis, born in Cairo, due to the political situation in Egypt at that time (Nasser regime), moved to Athens in at the age of 11. In 1980 he came to Brussels, where we met. Lucky me ! I myself am Belgian, originary from the Northern part of the country (Flanders) but lived most in Brussels and since 2004 we moved to the Southern part (Walloon), near Waterloo. We have visited Rhodes frequently, especially when our 5 children were young. As most of the children they adored swimming and playing in the so beautiful Greek waters. Having visited Lindos several times, we decided to purchase a house there, having in mind to move in permanently in the future.

Why Linda Joanna chose Vlicha

At the house the main attraction is the private swimming pool and the sea, at only 150 m (165 yards) distance from the beach where you can practice some water sports. At Lindos beach in the end of a deep gulf, with clear waters, are possibilities of every kind of sea sport. Still at Lindos, the other point of interest is the hill itself, on top of whom there is a crusaders' castle (dating from the 15th century A.C.), which has been built on top of an ancient Greek temple dedicated to Athena). The view from the top is breathtaking, (worldwide famous, you can find out in Internet sights: Google Images, Lindos, Rhodes, Greece) especially from the side overlooking the open sea, over steep hard rocky cliffs colored in yellow and pink. When the sun rises and up to 10:30 am, the colors of the rocks are very intense, due to the fact that the sun illuminates them (which is not the case from midday on since they fall under the shadow). We always visit Lindos in the early morning to avoid being disturbed by the other visitors and to avoid heat. Although there is a protective wall, since small children can be unpredictable, you should be nearby.

What makes this Villa unique

There is no road in between the house and the beach (at about 150m or 165 yards only), so children can move freely without the risk of being hirt by a car or motorcycle.
