This family-run hotel in Lindos has been welcoming guests since its founder, Mr Profilienos, first built apartments on the site in 1989. Today, it’s run by his children, who continue to follow in his footsteps of environmentally responsible tourism – the hotel has a dedicated program of “reduce, reuse and recycle” – with a touch of romance. There is a rooftop restaurant specialising in traditional Greek food with a modern twist, as well as a bar for snacks and drinks. Travelling with kids? Keep them entertained in the basement games room.

Stay in a piece of Lindian history at this hotel, built in 1917. In the Sixties, the house was home to German writer Hans Limmer and his family, and is even featured in his book Mein Esel Benjamin (My Donkey Benjamin). The house has since been divided into three independent rooms – each featuring a modern bathroom and air conditioning – which are located around an interior garden courtyard. There’s a cosy deluxe double, a suite split over two levels, and a deluxe suite that can sleep up to five guests and is ideal for families.
