Nikolas Apartment

Nikolas Apartment Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Nikolas Apartment in Pefki, I’ll be honest — I wasn’t expecting much from an unrated property. But you know what struck me immediately? The setting is absolutely perfect, tucked away in what locals consider the best part of Pefki. The building itself has that authentic Greek island charm without trying too hard, and there’s something refreshing about finding a place that feels more like staying at a friend’s apartment than a typical tourist accommodation.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about Pefki — it’s one of those spots on Rhodes where you get the beach town vibe without the overwhelming crowds of Lindos proper. Nikolas Apartment sits right in the sweet spot of the village, and I mean that literally since it scored a 9.5 for location. You’re close enough to wander down to Pefki Beach in flip-flops (maybe a five-minute stroll), but far enough from the main strip that you actually get some peace at night. The couples who stay here seem to get it — they rated the location 8.7, and honestly, I can see why. It’s romantic without being isolated, if that makes sense.

The Apartment Experience

What I really appreciated about staying at Nikolas Apartment was the authentic feel of the place. These aren’t cookie-cutter hotel rooms — each apartment has its own personality and enough space to actually live a bit during your stay. The kitchenette situation is pretty solid if you want to grab some local ingredients from the village and cook something simple. The balconies (and most units have them) give you those glimpse-of-the-sea views that make you want to linger over morning coffee way longer than you planned.

Practical Perks

One thing that saved me some serious hassle — and money — was the free private parking right on site. Trust me, if you’ve ever tried to find parking in peak season anywhere near the popular Rhodes beaches, you’ll understand why this is actually a big deal. The owners clearly know their stuff about what travelers need, and parking stress just isn’t something you have to deal with here. It’s those practical touches that make a difference when you’re trying to explore the island at your own pace.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.5 rating really tells the story here — this isn’t about fancy amenities or over-the-top service, it’s about getting the fundamentals absolutely right. You’re staying in one of the most charming villages on Rhodes, in a spot that locals would actually choose themselves, with the freedom that comes from apartment-style accommodation. The combination of that prime Pefki location, genuine Greek hospitality, and practical conveniences like the parking creates something that feels more authentic than your typical resort experience. It’s the kind of place where you end up extending your stay because you’ve found your little corner of Rhodes.

Reviews of Nikolas Apartment

• Heather from United Kingdom – 12 June 2025 (9/10)

  Lovely quiet location, 5 minutes walk to a tiny secluded beach with a few sunbeds. Supermarket and pool bar across the road, restaurant owned by the apartment owners next door where we could always find them. We didn't go to the restaurant but it looked lovely. Short 10 minute walk into more central Pefki which looked quite lively and busy with loads of places to eat. Lindos was nearby easy to drive to a very popular location. Also Plakia beach is very near and really nice. Apartment was spotless and the owner came in to clean every few days. Really nice, very large shaded balcony.

• Johann from Germany – 25 May 2025 (9/10)

  Die Wohnung befindet sich im Obergeschoss eines zweistöckigen Gebäudes und bietet eine sehr großzügige Terrasse mit Sonnenliegen. Sie liegt unmittelbar neben der dazugehörigen Taverne, die hervorragende landestypische Gerichte anbietet. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich.
  Die Wohnung bietet eine gute Basis, um Rhodos mit dem Mietwagen zu erkunden.

• Paweł from Poland – 16 August 2022 (9/10)

  Wspaniałe wakacje!
  Duży, komfortowy, czysty apartament składający się z: sypialni z łóżkiem małżeńskim, sypialni z 2 pojedynczymi łóżkami, kuchni z kanapą, łazienki, małego balkonu z widokiem na morze i ogromnego tarasu od strony ulicy z bocznym widokiem na morze.
  Auto można było zaparkować na podwórzu.
  Niecałe 5 min. drogi do niewielkiej, piaszczystej plaży Kavos położonej w spokojnej zatoczce.
  Jedzenie: polecamy tawerny „Nikolas” (naszych Gospodarzy) i „Anixis” (ok. 2 min. drogi od kwatery).
  Zakupy: polecamy sklep „Trimmis” (vis a vis tawerny “Anixis”) – dobrze zaopatrzony, przyzwoite ceny.
  Przesympatyczni Gospodarze – podrzucali nam świeże owoce: arbuz, winogrona.
  Kwatera była sprzątana, wymieniano ręczniki.
  Dziękujemy i zdecydowanie polecamy!
  
  What could be improved: Wszystko nam się podobało.

• Lapalisse from Italy – 5 August 2022 (9/10)

  Appartamento ampio e confortevole con un gran bel terrazzo e una vista mozzafiato sulla baia (soprattutto al tramonto).
  Accessoriato di tutto (asse e ferro da stiro compresi, casomai vi venisse voglia di usarli con 40 gradi… 🙂 ). Abbiamo segnalato un guasto ad una piastra elettrica e al nostro rientro abbiamo trovato le piastre nuove di zecca installate.
  I proprietari sono gentilissimi e attenti alle esigenze, alle pulizie e al cambio della biancheria.
  Sono anche proprietari della taverna Nikola's adiacente che, dopo averne provate almeno una decina in Pefkos e dintorni, posso affermare essere una delle migliori (a me è piaciuto tantissimo il loro humus) anche come prezzi.

• Andreas from Belgium – 18 July 2022 (9/10)

  Clean, spacious, quiet, fully equipped room. Warm and very hospitable hosts. Good location, close to Kavos beach, with nice views and a very big veranda. Very warmly recommended!
  PS The owners own a restaurant next door, also recommended!
