We first came to An early morning hike up the long, steep path to the Acropolis was always postponed until 'tomorrow' but eventually all our tomorrows had dissolved into yesterdays and it was time to leave this unique and beautiful village. We had fallen in love with the charm and character of this magical place and the warmth and hospitality of its people. This was the best holiday we'd ever had and we knew we would return... there was 'something about Lindos'.

We did return a few years later, six of us this time, staying in a lovely villa on the main street called Karpathios. The village was just as wonderful as we remembered, but now with more restaurants and bars for us to sample! And we made it up to the Acropolis this time, on donkeys, howling with laughter all the way! This holiday was just as fabulous as the first, despite our 'brush with the law' after being somewhat careless with our courtyard hose and 'accidentally' soaking some passers by outside our villa (we spent over an hour at the police station explaining ourselves!).

Tracy and Graham Evans decided they’d had enough of the stress and fast pace of living in the UK; they seized the right moment and relocated to Rhodes full-time. So, have they looked back since giving up their lucrative careers and moving away from family and friends? Not really.

It was during one holiday to Rhodes in 2003…we had hired a moped and were touring the island. As we headed towards Lindos, we saw a Savvaidis & Associates ‘For Sale’ sign….that was it, the seed had been sown: ‘Why don’t we buy our own Greek villa?’….Last year, we decided to relocate to Rhodes… Life is so short, and you have to make the most of the time you have.

Karen Read, 42 and her husband Stephen 45, come from Norwich, Norfolk. She works part time for the town council and he is a solicitor. They have three daughters, Rachel,12, Katie 11 and Hannah,7. The family owns a three-bedroom house in "The White Houses of Lardos" residence in Lardos village. The house is newly built to traditional Greek specifications. The village has an old church and only one hotel so it has hardly any tourists visiting.

We had 60.000 pounds in savings, that we put towards the purchase. The remaining balance came from increasing the mortgage on our home in Norwich. We were growing disillusioned with the performance of my husband's pension scheme, so we just diverted his monthly pension contributions into our mortgage account. It makes more sense and it is more fun for us.

Elaine Doig and her husband Gordon decided several years ago that they loved Greece so much, they wanted to buy a property there, as a holiday home with their future retirement in mind.

We have recently bought a two bedroomed detached house in the village of Lardos and were very pleasantly suprised at how easy the whole process was.  Having both done research on the subject of property purchase in Greece it at first appeared complicated.  Properties on Rhodes are rarely advertised in UK but we had discovered Savvaidis Associates on the Web and had been keeping our eye on the White Houses of Lardos for some time.
