Lindos - Captain's House

Small charming construction built at the end of the ‘500 beginning ‘600 by one of the owners of ships which at that time was a trader between Rhodes, Orient and North Africa.

From the arched entrance there is a courtyard paved with the original “koklaki”, that proceeds to a large living room with its ancient wooden painted ceiling, another smaller room called “winter room”, a bathroom with shower and a spacious kitchen, complete with a dishwasher, and dining area. The living room, where the families originally spent most part of their time, is furnished according to that period.

The external part of the living room was fancily restored in 1929 by the Italian Civil Engineers. A commemorate plate can be seen in the courtyard.

From the courtyard there is an entrance to the terrace and to the tower, presently a bedroom but before it was the old “Captain’s Office” with eight windows allowing a 360° view and a wonderful site of the Acropolis and of the sea; on the other side a garden with the entrance to the bathroom with bathtub and another bedroom with its own bathroom with shower.

The three bedrooms each with hot and cold air conditioning, the house can accommodate seven beds.
