Gennadi Gardens is a small apartment complex set within the town of Gennadi in Rhodes. The apartments are spacious and simply furnished, complete with a kitchen/diner/sitting room, bathroom, bedroom and balcony. The bedrooms have air conditioning, and the bathroom had a great shower. Kitchens are equipped with the basics to cook simple meals and benefits from a full sized fridge/freezer.
The apartments are built around a small pool complex with 2 pools, plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas to relax and enjoy the heat - which there is plenty of in high summer. Gennadi Gardens doesn't have bar or catering facilities on site, but it is a very short walk to the town centre which has a supermarket, greengrocer and a wonderful bakery. There are also bars, cafes and a couple of tavernas to choose from.
Gennadi beach is about a 10 minute walk, and has a wide pebble beach, and has 3 tavernas on the sea front - excellent places to have a post beach beer, or watch the sun go down with dinner. The sea shelves quite deeply from the beach, which can be a bit of a suprprise for the unwary, but the sea was generally calm and ideal for swimming.
A car is essential to avoid a long airport transfer, plus you can get out and about. Prasonisi is a 25 min trip and is a must for wind and kite surfers. Lindos is easily accessible (but always crowded) and the west coast has some magnificent views.
I'd recommend Gennadi Gardens for a relaxing break and as an ideal base to explore southern Rhodes.
