The Aegean Islands region
Rhodes is the largest island in the group known as the Dodecanese. It is the 3rd largest island in Greece and is positioned south east of the mainland close to the coastline of Turkey. Its positioning makes it popular with sun worshippers as the island is said to enjoy more days of sunshine than any in the Med.
A testament to the sun god, helios who claimed the island for himself, Rhodes rose out of the sea more than 2000 years ago. With that life span you can only begin to imagine the history of this mountainous isle. One thing is for sure, if you love the sun and you love Greece, Rhodes will not disappoint
Climate and Weather The temperature soars in July and August and is often hovering around 40 degrees. April and May are months of few tourists and great for nature lovers as the island is a carpet of wild flowers. Winter rain fall produces an emerald isle of spring greenery and lush vegetation. June sees that island starting to get busy with visitors from every corner of Europe. Luckily mile upon mile of sandy beaches mean that even in August you will still find a spot on the beach to soak up some sun and sea. The winter climate is very clement which makes Rhodes an ideal spot for some winter sun. However be prepapred to see the island as it is with no tourist trappings.

Further details outdoors: The surrounding garden at Villa Telika has been lovingly and thoughtfully planted by the owners. A herb garden provides heady scents as you walk in the side entrance. Hibuscus provide a rich green hedge with their bright red flowers giving a burst of colour here and there. The bright pink leaves of the bougainvillea twist elegantly up and over the poolside pergola whilst the 'rabbit ears' of the prickly pear cactus on the other side of the wall provide great shapes and background. Dense olive groves make it unmistakably clear that you are in Greece and if this didn't convince you the azure waters of the sea in the background most definitely will!
The stone built BBQ in the garden is a firm favourite with all the guests and with a great local butchers just a couple of minutes walk away you will be spoilt for choice!
