 The traditional village of Koskinou was established in the 15th century and was at the time partly protected by a purpose-built castle. It is situated on a hill, at the east side of the island of Rhodes , 9km (around 6 miles) from the centre of the City of Rhodes. It has 2,500 inhabitants. Travel guides usually state that Koskinou is famous for its unique traditional houses, and its magnificently decorated 1873 built church. All very true.
 However, there is also another side of Koskinou. It is the Koskinou with its friendly and hospitable residents, peaceful surroundings, memorable sunsets, cooling northern breeze,its close proximity to both the city of Rhodes and to a number of crystal-water beaches. It is the Koskinou that offers the chance to combine the experience of traditional village life, with a wide choice of activities just a short drive away.
Koskinou that has captured the hearts of quite a number of Greek artists and Northern Europeans who now live there permanently.
Definitely worth a visit.
