A beautiful snow-white holiday complex called Lito 3 * stands on the seafront on the island of Rhodes. It was built in the late seventies of the twentieth century, and survived major repairs in the early 2000s. The hotel is seasonal, opens in May, and closes in mid-winter. This Greek "treshka" can give odds to many Egyptian and Turkish "fours." Just do not confuse it with another hotel, which is called the same, but is located on another island.

These are the most popular resorts on the island among windsurfers, lovers of hiking and cycling, and generally active tourists. In addition, there are excellent beaches for Aegean, inexpensive cafes and restaurants, many different nightclubs and party places. Since these areas "flow" into each other, the Lito Hotel is often referred to as Lito Rodos 3 * Yalissos. In the center of Ialyssos, you can see the beautiful church of St. Nicholas with ancient frescoes. There are many ancient ruins here. In particular, on the top of Mount Filerimos is the acropolis - Achaea, where you can see the ruins of temples from the time of Doric Greece. In these sanctuaries, Zeus and Athena were once worshiped. There are many beaches in this area, but not very many people.

Brother in Crete
Our hotel has a namesake on another island. Hotel Lito 3 * (Crete) is a good place for families. This hotel is located by the bay of Agios Nikolaos, one hundred and fifty meters from the beach of Navaria. He is family-friendly, with a minimum of staff. The hotel is also located on a slope overlooking the sea. From it is much further to the beach than from the Rhodes "Lito". However, due to its location, almost all rooms have a sea view. In its architectural style, this hotel is somewhat reminiscent of a hotel in Rhodes. However, it is smaller in size - it has only fifty rooms. Here they practice the all inclusive food system. A pool with umbrellas and sunbeds is also present. An elevator goes through the rock from the beach to the reception. Air conditioning is also paid, but, unlike the Rhodes "Lito", you can’t do without it, since Crete has a completely different weather and the rooms are very hot. Good food in Lito 3 * (Crete). Reviews mention wonderful lamb, Greek salad, fish. However, the guests of the Rhodes “Lito”, who eat at the Beliar, say that the food there is simply divine, and if those who did not include food in the package want to eat there, such an opportunity is provided. The breakfasts at both hotels are almost identical. The Rhodes Lito ’has its own territory, while the Cretan has almost none. Agios is also within walking distance. The beaches in Crete, unlike Rhodes, are small.
