AFANDOU - ISLAND RHODES

One of the largest and oldest villages of the island, Afandou is a very lively Greek holiday settlement 19 km from the Rhodes Town and only 5 km away from the crazy Faliraki village.
The name comes from the word "afando" ("hidden" in Greek), reminding of the old pirates times, when the village was built in such a way not to be seen from the sea.
The main highlight of Afandou is the amazing 18 hole golf course with the famous Donald Harradine signature.

There is a wide range of water sports to have a nice time on the beach, from windsurfing to sea pedals.
On the far left side of Afandou beach, you can try your sense of adrenaline, as sprinkled rocks and caves are all over where the shore ends.
