In the tourist town of Lindos, an oasis of quality cuisine is housed in a traditional early 20th-century building, aesthetically renovated with respect for its history.
The owner's passion and love for quality taste translate into dishes that balance tradition and modernity. The setting is excellent and perfectly complements the experience.
In Rhodes, there are two places that seem to exert Circe's charm: they magnetize you, keep you close, and make it hard to leave. One is the Old Town of Rhodes, and the second, which is our concern here, is Lindos.
This small town of approximately 800 inhabitants, with its postcard-perfect beauty, is a destination that every visitor wants to discover. With no cars circulating in its narrow alleys and an architecture that exudes absolute respect for tradition, it becomes a magnet for hundreds of thousands of visitors during the summer months. Combined with the impressive Acropolis and the unique seascape, Lindos offers a high aesthetic experience. However, as often happens in particularly touristy destinations, the culinary experience is not always worthy of the scenery.
However, there are exceptions, and one of them is Akres, a restaurant of particular interest that essentially elevates the visiting experience.
In the heart of the traditional settlement, the restaurant is housed in an early 20th-century building that was home to the first café in Lindos. With panoramic views from its rooftop terrace, it's an ideal spot for a delicious meal during the summer months. The space was redesigned with respect for local architecture and aesthetics by the architectural firm «Mina Kosmidis,» creating a harmonious whole that is directly connected to the restaurant's culinary philosophy.
As often happens with personal endeavors, Akres is a labor of love from its owner, Ilias Marinakis. His aesthetic vision and passion for hospitality combine to offer a complete experience that unites atmosphere with taste. In the kitchen, Vasilis Diakoulas is at the helm, having been influenced by important mentors such as Giannis Efthymiou, owner and chef of the well-known «Paraga,» and Michalis Marthas. His creations draw inspiration from both the land and the culinary richness of Rhodes, as well as the sea that surrounds it.
Seasonality plays a decisive role, while special emphasis is placed on cooperation with local producers who share the same passion for quality and authentic flavors. On the menu, you will also find traditional Rhodian dishes, presented with modern creative touches.
If your plans include a short or longer trip to Rhodes, it's worth dedicating time for lunch or dinner at Akres in Lindos. It will be one of the most fulfilling and enjoyable moments of your trip.
