Local Tip from Looneytravels

When booking large family villas in Rhodes, check whether the villa offers multiple bathrooms and shaded outdoor areas.

With bigger groups, this makes daily routines much easier — especially in summer when everyone wants to use the pool or get ready for dinner around the same time.

Also check whether the villa has fenced pools or child-friendly outdoor areas if you're travelling with younger children.
