Absolute Kiotari Resort

Absolute Kiotari Resort is an upscale resort hotel on the Kattavias to Lardou road in Kiotari, on the quiet southwest coast of Rhodes, Greece. Kiotari is a long, relatively undeveloped stretch of shoreline with a handful of large resorts, roughly 60 km from Rhodes Town and about 65 km from Diagoras International Airport, between Lindos and Gennadi. The nearest villages, Gennadi and Lardos, provide tavernas and small shops, and the area is popular with travelers who want a beach holiday away from the nightlife of Faliraki. Guests rate the resort 9.2 out of 10 on Booking.com, a very high score. The listing shows a swimming pool, restaurant, bar and wifi, with accommodation offered as Double Rooms and Family Rooms, which suits couples and families. Meals are typically served at the on-site restaurant, with breakfast and dinner the usual offerings, while the bar provides drinks through the day. Because Kiotari is isolated compared with the main resort towns, many guests take most meals on site, though taxis and rental cars make it easy to visit Gennadi, Lardos and Lindos for dinner. The beach at Kiotari is long and sandy-pebbly with clear water, and the sea can be breezy in the afternoons. The service character is that of a resort designed for week-long stays, with reception staff arranging transfers, excursions and car hire. Visitors can combine beach days with trips to the Acropolis of Lindos, the village of Asklipio with its churches, the medieval castle of Monolithos on the west coast, and the sandbar of Prasonisi at the island's southern tip, each reachable by car in roughly 30 to 60 minutes.
