Hotel Iris  

Perched on a hillside on Rhodes' east coast, Iris Hotel sits above the traditional village of Afandou—about 1 km from Afandou Beach and within easy reach of Anthony Quinn Bay and Kolymbia Harbor. A budget-friendly, family-friendly pick, it’s also within walking distance of Afandou’s 18‑hole golf course.

Rooms offer private balconies or terraces with panoramic sea or village views, plus a fridge and bathrooms with showers; air conditioning or fans are available for an extra charge. Décor is simple island style and shared spaces include a sun terrace, a small library and a children's playroom.

Cool off in the outdoor pool, sip cocktails at the bar or linger in the café—then enjoy free breakfast and wake up to sea‑breeze mornings. On-site conveniences include free parking, an elevator for accessibility, tour assistance, an ATM, car rental and safety‑deposit boxes.

Paid internet/Wi‑Fi is available across the property; the 24‑hour reception also provides baggage storage and foreign exchange services.

The hotel serves a breakfast buffet and has a restaurant, bar and café on site. A handful of local tavernas and seafood spots—Sergio's, Katholiki and Shark Fish Restaurant—are all within a short walk.
