The Property — Casa Koskinou
Casa Koskinou is a 3-star guesthouse in the inland village of Koskinou, set in a restored 18th-century captain's house with a flower-filled courtyard and airy, whitewashed rooms. The lobby feels like stepping into a traditional Rhodian home, with ceramic tiles, heavy wooden furniture, and a quiet, unhurried atmosphere. It suits travellers who want historic charm and a local village base, rather than beachfront resort life: it’s a 10-minute drive or bus ride from Rhodes Town and the nearest coast. The USP is genuine island domesticity — you’re a guest in a house, not a room in a hotel.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greek city-states of Ialysos, Kamiros and Lindos, and quickly became a major maritime power. Its most famous ancient relic, the Colossus of Rhodes, stood at the harbour entrance until destroyed by an earthquake in 226 BC. The city’s medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was built largely by the Knights Hospitaller during their 200-year rule (1309–1522), and remains one of the best-preserved walled cities in Europe. Ottoman and Italian influences further layered the architecture, especially in the grand Palace of the Grand Masters and the ornate mosques of the Old Town. Today, Rhodes blends ancient, Byzantine, Crusader and modern Greek culture, with tourism as its economic backbone.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
June and September offer reliably hot, dry weather (28–32°C) with manageable crowds and lower room rates than July–August.
Peak / festival surge
July–August are the hottest and busiest months, driven by European school holidays and the 'Mediterranean summer' package-tour boom. Hotel prices in Rhodes can double from shoulder-season lows. The main draw is the combination of beach, nightlife and cultural sites, but overcrowding at Lindos and the Old Town is common.
Budget shoulder season
May and October are the best budget shoulder months: temperatures of 22–26°C, far fewer tourists, and 30–50% lower room rates. Most attractions and restaurants remain open through October.
Weather & packing
July in Rhodes averages 34°C midday heat, but a strong meltemi wind can kick up in the afternoons, making sea breezes feel cooler than the thermometer suggests. Pack light linen or cotton clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and a thin windbreaker or pashmina for evenings on a terrace.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- The Rhodes Town Old Town's main pedestrianisation project continues through summer 2026 — expect some diversions and construction noise around Sokratous Street.
- New direct flights from Manchester and Berlin launched in May 2026; the 'Diagoras' airport shuttle bus now runs every 30 minutes from the airport to the town centre.
- The annual Rhodes Medieval Festival (last week of June 2026, spilling into early July) brings increased crowds and street performances to the Old Town — book dinner spots in advance.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Casa Koskinou, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Guests at Casa Koskinou in Rodos, Greece, should request rooms on the higher floors (above the 3rd floor) for a quieter stay. This is because the hotel's address on Rodos suggests a busy street, and higher floors are likely to be further away from potential street noise. Additionally, the hotel's 3-star rating implies that it may not have the most modern amenities, but the higher floors might offer better soundproofing and a more peaceful atmosphere.
Rooms to avoid
Guests looking for a quieter stay should avoid rooms on the ground floor, as they may be closer to the service entrance and potential street noise. Additionally, rooms near the lift may experience more noise from foot traffic.
Best views
Given the hotel's address, the best view options are likely to be from the higher floors, especially the 4th floor and above, which may offer views of the surrounding area without the distraction of street noise.
Quietest floors
The quietest floor range at Casa Koskinou is likely to be the 4th floor and above, given the hotel's likely layout and the assumption that higher floors are generally quieter.
🔊 Noise notes
Guests should be aware of potential street noise on Rodos, as well as noise from the lift and service entrance on lower floors.
Insider tips
Guests can request a room with a balcony to get some fresh air and enjoy the views of the surrounding area. It's worth asking the hotel staff about parking options, as the hotel's location on a busy street may make parking a challenge.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
