Map & location


Lardos, Rhodes, Greece

Olive Garden Hotel sits just inland from the Blue Flag–awarded sands of Lardos Beach on Rhodes’ south-east coast. The setting is peaceful, with olive groves and low-rise buildings, yet you’re close enough to wander to local tavernas, mini-markets and bars on foot.

The traditional village of Lardos is a short drive away for authentic Greek evenings, while the postcard-pretty resort of Lindos and its ancient acropolis are within easy reach for day trips and sunset dinners above the bay.
