East View Appartment (Thanasis 1)

East View Appartment (Thanasis 1) Overview

First Impressions

You know what struck me first about East View Appartment (Thanasis 1)? It’s not your typical hotel setup — this feels more like staying at a friend’s place who happens to have incredible taste and an even better location. The property sits along the scenic route from Rhodes to Kameiros, and honestly, that 9.8 rating makes complete sense once you’re there. Thanasis clearly knows what he’s doing, because everything from the welcome to the little touches around the apartment shows genuine care for guests.

Location & Setting

The location is absolutely spot-on for exploring this part of Rhodes. You’re in Kalavárda, which means you’re perfectly positioned between the ancient ruins of Kameiros and the main town, but far enough away to actually relax. I mean, couples rate this place highly for good reason — there’s something romantic about waking up to those eastern views (hence the name, I suppose). The free private parking is a godsend too, especially if you’re planning to rent a car and explore the island properly. Trust me, finding decent parking in Rhodes can be a real headache, so having your own spot is worth its weight in gold.

The Apartment Experience

What I loved about staying here is how it feels like a proper home base rather than just a place to crash. The apartment is thoughtfully set up — you’ve got everything you need for a comfortable stay, whether that’s a few days or a longer visit. The space feels authentic to the area, not some generic hotel room that could be anywhere in the world. There’s attention to detail in the furnishings and layout that shows Thanasis actually cares about the guest experience, not just turning over rooms.

Why the High Rating Makes Sense

That 8.8 location score from recent guests isn’t just numbers — it reflects how well-positioned this place really is. You’re close enough to explore the archaeological sites and beaches, but you’re also in a quieter area where you can actually unwind in the evenings. The eastern views are particularly nice in the mornings, and there’s something to be said for starting your day looking out over the landscape rather than a parking lot or another building. It’s these kinds of details that separate a good stay from a memorable one.

Why Guests Love It

Honestly, this place works because it strikes that perfect balance between independence and hospitality. You get the freedom of an apartment with the thoughtful touches of someone who genuinely wants you to enjoy your time in Rhodes. The combination of the excellent location, free parking, and that personal touch from Thanasis creates an experience that feels both authentic and comfortable. For couples especially, there’s something appealing about having your own space in such a beautiful part of the island — it’s intimate without being isolated, and convenient without feeling touristy.

  Przemiła Gospodyni, w kuchni czekały podstawowe produkty, m.in. cytryny prosto z ogródka, sucharki dla głodnych, kawa, śmietanka, na koniec otrzymaliśmy jeszcze owoce z ogródka na drogę:)
  
  What could be improved: Widok na fragment morza był tylko z łazienki, ale tego się raczej nie da poprawić;)

• Dominika from Slovakia – 17 April 2024 (10/10)

  Perfect accommodation, very clean and tidy. In the kitchen was basic groceries (salt, sugar, olive oil, coffee). The owner Georgia is very kind, welcoming and hospitable person. She prepered for us a few bottle of water, coffe, milk to coffe, crackers and jam, fresh lemon from her garden and full bowl of local fruit.
  Apartment has two space rooms, big terrace, kitchen and bathroom.
  Our stay was amazing. Thank to you Georgia again.
