Sky Hills

Sky Hills Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Sky Hills, honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this four-star property tucked away in Psinthos. The name had me curious — and you know what, it actually delivers on that promise. The hotel sits on elevated ground with these sweeping views that make you understand why they chose the name. There’s free parking right on site, which is honestly a relief when you’re navigating Greek mountain roads with a rental car.

The Setting

Psinthos isn’t your typical tourist hotspot, and that’s exactly what makes Sky Hills special. You’re about 25 minutes from Rhodes town, but it feels like you’re in a completely different world up here. The surrounding hills are perfect for hiking — I mean, you can literally step out of the hotel and find trails that wind through olive groves and pine forests. The staff mentioned that cycling is popular here too, and after exploring the area, I can see why. The roads are quiet, and the scenery changes around every bend.

The Room Experience

My room had this incredible terrace that looked out over the valley — honestly, I spent more time out there than inside. The accommodations are modern without being sterile, if that makes sense. Everything feels thoughtfully designed, from the comfortable bedding to the way the bathroom actually has decent water pressure (you’d be surprised how often that’s an issue in Greece). The air conditioning works well too, which you’ll appreciate during those warm summer afternoons.

Activities and Surroundings

What surprised me most was how active you can be here. The hotel arranges windsurfing trips — apparently there’s a spot about 15 minutes away where the wind conditions are consistently good. I’m not much of a water sports person myself, but I watched some guests head out in the morning and come back absolutely buzzing about their experience. The hiking trails I mentioned earlier range from easy walks to more challenging climbs, and the hotel staff actually knows the routes well enough to give you proper directions.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.8 rating isn’t just a number — you feel it in the details. The restaurant serves this incredible local fish that they source from a village down the mountain, and the breakfast spread includes homemade jams that taste like someone’s grandmother made them. But honestly, what struck me most was how peaceful everything feels here. Couples seem to gravitate toward this place, and I get it — there’s something romantic about being tucked away in the hills with those views and that sense of discovery. You’re close enough to explore Rhodes when you want civilization, but far enough away that you can actually hear the wind in the trees at night.
