Appartment by the beach

Appartment by the beach Overview

First Impressions

When I first spotted Appartment by the beach on Filerímou Street, I’ll be honest — the name pretty much tells you everything you need to know. This three-star property sits just a short walk from the water in Rhodes Town, and while it’s not trying to be fancy, it absolutely nails what most travelers actually want: a clean, comfortable place to crash that won’t break the bank. The building itself is typical Greek island style — white walls, simple lines, nothing flashy but perfectly functional.

Location Magic

Here’s where this place really shines, and honestly, location can make or break a Rhodes stay. You’re positioned perfectly to explore the medieval Old Town (seriously, those cobblestone streets are something else), but you’re also close enough to the beach that you can actually hear the waves on quiet evenings. I mean, couples are rating the location 9.1 out of 10, which tells you something — this isn’t just tourist hype. The parking situation is actually sorted too, which anyone who’s driven around Rhodes Town will appreciate. Trust me, finding a spot near the center can be a nightmare during peak season.

The Space Itself

The apartment setup works really well if you’re planning to stay more than just a night or two. You get your own kitchen space, which honestly saves you a fortune when you consider how much eating out adds up in the tourist areas. The room itself is straightforward — clean bedding, decent air conditioning (you’ll need it in summer), and enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. It’s not Instagram-worthy, but it’s genuinely comfortable, and the windows let in plenty of that gorgeous Greek light.

Getting Around Rhodes

What I really appreciated was how easy it made exploring the island. You’re close enough to walk into the heart of Rhodes Town for dinner or drinks, but you can also easily grab a bus or taxi to places like Lindos or the Valley of the Butterflies. The beach access is legitimate too — not just marketing speak. You can literally walk to several decent swimming spots, though honestly, some of the best beaches require a short drive or bus ride anyway.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t a resort experience — there’s no spa or fancy restaurant downstairs. But that 9.0 location rating from recent guests isn’t an accident. You’re getting authentic Rhodes without the tourist trap pricing, and the apartment-style setup means you can live a bit like a local rather than just passing through. The free parking alone probably saves you 15-20 euros a day compared to other places in the area. It’s the kind of spot where you’ll spend your days exploring and your evenings planning the next day’s adventure, which is exactly what a good Rhodes base should offer.

Locals suggest to book apartments in Rhodes around New Market for fishmongers, pastry kiosks, and ferry sunsets.
