Venus Island Studios

Venus Island Studios Overview

First Impressions

Honestly, Venus Island Studios caught me off guard in the best possible way. Tucked away in the quiet village of Krana, just outside Lindos, this place feels like a well-kept secret that locals might not even want to share. The moment you arrive, there’s this immediate sense of calm — no bustling lobby or crowds, just a peaceful setting that makes you exhale and realize you’ve found something special.

The Perfect Hideaway Location

What I love about staying here is how you get the best of both worlds. Krana itself is this sleepy little village where you can actually hear the cicadas at night, but you’re only a short walk from Lindos with its famous acropolis and that postcard-perfect white village cascading down the hillside. The location is brilliant, actually — you avoid the tourist chaos but can easily pop over when you want to explore or grab dinner at one of those cliffside tavernas. I mean, couples absolutely rave about this spot, and I can see why.

Simple Comfort Done Right

The studios themselves are exactly what you’d hope for — clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged without any unnecessary fuss. Each room has everything you need, including a compact kitchenette that’s perfect for preparing simple meals with fresh ingredients from the local markets. There’s something really satisfying about making your morning coffee while looking out at the Mediterranean landscape. The spaces feel authentic rather than overly polished, which honestly makes them more charming.

What Makes It Work

You know what struck me most? The genuine hospitality here feels effortless. The staff — well, they’re more like friendly neighbors who happen to run a place to stay. They’ll point you toward the best swimming spots (there are some gorgeous secluded beaches nearby that most tourists never find) and actually remember your name after the first day. The property maintains this relaxed, unhurried atmosphere that’s becoming harder to find these days. Plus, there’s parking available, which might sound mundane but trust me, it’s a blessing when you’re exploring Rhodes by car.

Why Guests Love It

This isn’t the kind of place that tries to impress you with flashy amenities or over-the-top service. Instead, it delivers something more valuable — a genuine sense of place and peace. The 9.5 rating speaks for itself, but what really tells the story is how many guests end up extending their stays or booking return visits. It’s that rare combination of authentic Greek island charm, strategic location, and hosts who genuinely care about your experience. If you’re looking for a base to explore Lindos and the surrounding area without the tourist hotel atmosphere, Venus Island Studios hits that sweet spot perfectly. This three-star property offers exceptional value and an authentic island experience.

Early hotels booking in Rhodes secures wine harvest strolls, Kalithea spa evenings, and sail-ins to St. Paul’s Bay.

Reviews of Venus Island Studios

• Giuseppe from Italy – 24 November 2024 (10/10)

  Chrysanti and Alekos were exeptional hosts always accessible, ready to help and friendly. The day we arrived they both welcomed us as friends and left us a bottle of wine, two bottles of water in the fridge, a bowl of fruit and a lot of biscuits and pastries on the kitchen table for our first breakfast.
  Venus Island apartments are not far from Lyndos centre. They are in a very good position, surrounded by a beautiful garden and very near to a small Krana supermarket.
  The self-catering apartment was clean, quiet and well-equipped with a washing machine, a shower and air-conditioning. Our hosts changed our bedsheets and towels after the first week and cleaned the apartment too during our stay. I would definitely recommend Venus Islands Apartments for your holidays!

• Beatrice from Belgium – 19 August 2024 (10/10)

  The accommodation is lovely and very clean, with all the necessary amenities. It's also very peaceful and quiet with a beautiful garden where you can relax in the evening. It is close to several beautiful beaches and no more than 30 minutes walking from the beautiful Lindos acropolis. The bus station is within walking distance which makes it easy to explore other parts of the island and other beaches that are a bit further away. Check in/out was very easy and converient. Alekos and his wife are wonderful and kind hosts. We really enjoyed our stay and would 100% recommend it!

• Davor from United Kingdom – 2 July 2024 (10/10)

  Good location in Krana outside of Lindos, there is about 10min walk from the Apartment to Lindos Main Parking and from there another 15-20mins walk to Lindos main beach or into the town.
  Very hospitable hosts, trully made us feel welcome, grateful to them for such hospitality.
  Hosts changed our bedsheets, towels and cleaned the apartment once during our one week stay, which was a nice touch.
  Well equiped kitchen though you would need to get your own seasoning e.g oil, salt etc.
  Trully enjoyed our stay, we would love to come back.
