Fabulous Place Great Staff
from Terryjp1010
What a great place for a relaxing holiday! Virtually brand new studio apartments with air conditioning [at extra cost, but so what]. Fantastic views over Lindos, and to the sea beyond. This place has areally excellent swiming pool and bar, which sells great breafasts and other snacks. OK Lindos is a 15 minute walk down the hill and somewhat longer on the way back up, but it is really worth every penny. Stavros, Poppy and Sam do all they can to make your stay very enjoyable. Don't Miss the Barbeque....Can't wait to go back. PS It's really hot in July [ 42C]
Can't wait to go back
from SueC_7
We've stayed three times in Lindos, each time at fabulous apartments, but the Horizon beats everything hands down. The apartment, the facilities, the staff, the view.....there is nothing to fault.
Best place we've stayed at in 7 years

Wow!! You have to pinch yourself that you are in fact staying in Greek self catering accomodation. Location no problem at all (though those with walking difficulties would, I imagine, find it hard going) Stavros and staff incredibly helpful Rooms excellent Great views Cleanliness excellent I honestly can't think of one thing I disliked
Amazing
from Martate
We have just returned from a week at the Lindos Horizon Apartments, it was the best holiday we have ever had. The accomodation was fantastic, the room was huge with a great power shower and corner bath. The views from the balcony were beautiful. Stavros and his family were very friendly and helpful. Lindos Village was a 15 minute walk from the apartments, negotiating some steep hills, but the walk was fine and the donkeys and goats provided entertainment on the way. We had a few days sunbathing round the pool, one on the main beach and two at St Paul's Bay. The bay was definately our favourite spot, it was really peaceful with fantastic scenery. Both days small weddings were taking place at the chapel in the bay. The best place for eating during the day was the Swengo Cafe (the bakery) on the edge of the village, lovely spinach pies, fresh sandwiches and cakes. The days we were at the pool we had lovely greek salads. The weather was great, the first day was cloudy but after that it was bright sunshine and 30C. Every night we went into the village to eat, there are loads of restaurants, our favourites were Med East, Dionysos and Symposio, all did great food and had really friendly staff. We went to the Lindian Indian one night and had the worst meal we have ever paid for, all appeared to be microwaved (highlighted by the constant 'ting' noise from the kitchen) and tasted disgusting - would not recommend going there. There's also quite a few bars, our favourite being Ikon Bar, the staff were great fun and made gorgeous cocktails. All in all we had a fantastic time, we would recommend Lindos and the Horizon Apartments to couples and families looking for a relaxed week in the sun.
lovely holiday, shame about the flight times

I think you would struggle to find an apartment or studio in the Lindos area that offered more than the Lindos Horizon. Yes it does take 10 minutes or so to get down into the town, but it has the advantage of cooling breezes, the sounds of the donkeys throughout the night, and the antics of the goats on the hillside to entertain you whilst you stretch out on your lounger. The poolside bar serves excellent Greek Salads, and the views while you eat are second to none! If you go to the Lindos Car Hire firm yourself, (it's situated next to the Kosmar office) you can negotiate a car deal which may be better than the Kosmar rate - and you get the same car and the same insurance cover! Certainly hiring a car makes sense as you have the freedom to get away from busy Lindos during the day. You can get excellent coffee from the market place coffee shop in Lardos and the Stavvas Grill in Lardos serves excellent food at a fraction of the Lindos prices. We also recommend Maria's and Kalypso restaurants in Lindos. There's a bookshelf of some paperbacks in the pool bar if you forget your reading matter, but you'll need to pack your own beach towels. I think it's a huge shame that so many people must be put off booking a holiday at the Lindos Horizon because of the poor travel times from some airports. We travel from Newcastle at the weekend, and this has meant that if you vacate your room at noon on Saturday, you are without a base until you are collected by the coach at 02.40 on Sunday - over 14 hours later! How do people manage on cold or rainy nights? The Lindos Horizon is due to double in size next season, as the building work is now almost complete. I'll be interested to hear from next season's guests as to whether the pool and bar can cope with the extra capacity. I hope it can, because this is a lovely spot with hard working, pleasant managers who deserve to be succesful
brill place to stay
from coopeys
Just had what could only be described as one of the best holidays ever - staying at the Lindos Horizon. For early October the weather was perfect - constant sunshine during the day and still really warm at night. The Lindos Horizon is a great place to stay: Quiet location Room - huge, comfortable and clean Corner bath - big enough for 2 :o) Pool - safe and clean with plenty of sunbeds available throughout the day. Love & hugs to Stavros and Poppy for making us feel really welcome. The walk into town takes approx 15 mins. Coming back it may be best to take a taxi as there are two fairly steep hills - the going price was 4 euro - for what was a 2 minute journey (at Greek driving speed)!! We walked back 3 times - on the nights where we did not over-indulge on the drink. Lindos town itself is very touristy during the day with coach loads of visitors coming from all over the island. We did not go into town during the day - too busy lazing by the pool - although we did hear that it was very busy and hot!! At night it was a really nice place to be with a great selection of bars and restaurants. The shops were typically touristy - really just selling the same things. At this point I must mention the Lindian Indian restaurant - always good to go on holiday and have a curry (twice). Excellent food and views over the town and Acropolis. Also you must go to the 60's bar at the top end of town. It's run by 2 nutters (father and son?) who had a tendency to set fire to the bar and the walls every 15 minutes or so. We cannot speak highly enough of the Lindos Horizon and Lindos itself. I've also posted a few pictures which may be of use to you.
Friendly
from Doneit49
Room very spacious, clean safe deposit with air con is 55 euros. Nothing is to much trouble and Stavros the owner, and his family are very helpful and friendly. We stayed there in August 2008 as a fly and flop, as we had been to Rhodes already, but returned for our sons wedding. The down side to this hotel, is that it is tucked away at the top of Lindos and it’s a hell of a walk if you want to go to the beach, we stayed around the pool as we had done all our site seeing before. You can walk down to the main square in about 10-15 minuets a taxi back to the apartments will only cost you 4 euros. Although this is a nice place to stay, it is not for anyone with heart or walking problems as it’s quite steep. I was expecting lots of kids and loud youngsters and to say it was August, we had none of that. Just one family with 2 small children who were no bother, the rest of the guests were late 50s early 60s. There are 2 supermarkets close by within easy walking distance and also a cash point close at hand if you need any extra euros. The Horizon, has 16 apartments and work has already started on a further 16 which will be open in 2008. However, we did see and hear the builders, but it wasn’t a problem. Thursday night is BBQ night and for 12 euros each, it was very good value, a little bit of entertainment after the meal, would have held the guests who tended to drift away soon after eating. The rooms have great views overlooking Lindos and the Acropolis. All in all, a very enjoyable weeks stay and would have no hesitation in returning, in fact I’m sure we’ll be back like the many families and couples who return year after year.
Lindos Horizon - fantastic!!!
from LINDOS2007
We have recently returned from a wonderful 2 week holiday staying at the Horizon. We travelled as a large group for our wedding at St Pauls Bay. We spent most days lazing around the pool. The food was excellent and Stavros and Poppy couldn't do enough for us, our family and friends. The rooms are spacious and clean and very well air-conditioned (extra charge). Stavros has a weekly BBQ but he also put one on especially for us the day after the wedding. The food and service were fantastic! Location wise its a fair walk from the main road above the village to the Horizon however its only a few euros in a taxi and a free bus runs during the day from the main square. Lindos itself is a magical place. There is so much choice for bars and restaurants. We had an amazing holiday and we'll definitely be going back to stay at the Horizon very soon.
Busy Lindos
from landrofer
We have just returned from a 2 week stay at the Lindos Horizon and i would like to say it was very pleasant indeed. The owner Stavros and his family were very friendly and helpful. The food was very nice and the rooms very clean and spacious with a balcony and a sea view. Lindos is a lovely village with fantastic sandy beaches and clear emarald sea. The prices in most resteraunts were roughly the same with an average nightly spend of 30-33 euros, beer was about 6 euros. Overall a great holiday but during the day the town is swarming with incoming tourists from the rest of the island and the cruise ships but this does not affect the beaches which were very comfortable. The only drawback is the hilly steep walk back to the top of the town otherwise its a taxi at 4 euros. I would definately recommend this hotel and resort.
Lovely Lindos
from GlobetrottingKiwi
Lindos Horizons is a Kosmar run property and part of a package deal. My husband and I went to Lindos for our wedding anniversary and absolutely loved it! The property only has 16 self catering apartments (although another block of 16 was being built). Every apartment has it's own balcony, views of the castle on the headland overlooking Lindos town, is really quiet and the manager and staff are incredibly helpful and accomodating. Our room was very spacious with a fantastic bathroom that had a tub for two, the kitchen was excellent size and the room had space for a sofa bed and table and chairs. The complex had a swimming pool, which was off set from the accomodation and so there was limited noise form the pool area. Along with a small reastuarant/bar. There was a supermarket within 150m walk. The walk down to Lindos town was an easy 5-10 minute walk down a hill and if you didn't want to walk back up the short taxi ride was only $4 euros. Lindos town is fantastic, white sugar box cube village, with wide range of taverns, bars, cafes, waffle bars etc to eat at. There are two great beachs either side of Lindos town, the main beach and St Pauls Beach. St Pauls has a fab little church out on the point and in the afternoons, there was a procession of weddings being held there. Overall this is a fantastic place to stay!!
