Restaurant at Melenos Lindos boutique hotel

Our highly qualified chefs have imagination and enthusiasm and a diverse approach to their menus. While respecting their Greek tradition and the aromatic influences from Asia Minor, they seek a broader balance without limitation; always eager to try a new combination of ingredients and flavours to widen their already impressive repertoire.

However, like all reputable chefs these days, they acknowledge that high quality fresh raw ingredients are the essential basis to a good meal; they understand that often only very subtle enhancement is enough to give a dish individuality.

Weddings at Melenos Lindos

Only a few steps away from the hotel, the tiny centuries-old chapel of Agios Demetrios is perched on the rocky hillside. It is very conveniently placed for a wedding or a Christening to be followed by a sumptuous Melenos-Lindos banquet.

Location

About 45 kilometers south of the town of Rhodes is the Lindos Acropolis, a massive fortified outcrop which dominates the landscape. It is the site of the temple to Athena established by the Dorians more than 3000 years ago. The present village of Lindos which nestles below the Acropolis, was once the centre of a powerful city-state. In ancient times it was an important place of pilgrimage. Over the centuries Lindos remained a centre of trade activity because of its two natural harbours. Because of its strategic position between the East and the West, the island of Rhodes attracted many invading forces. When the Ottomans took control of Rhodes in 1523, Lindos prosperity continued. By the early 17th C the unique style of the Lindos Mansions had evolved. These distinctive houses form the basis of the design inspiration for Melenos-Lindos
