Elafos Hotel  

Set in the soft-green forest of Profitis Ilias on Rhodes, about 1 km from Salakos village center. Close to the Valley of the Butterflies, Seven Springs and Kolymbia Harbor, and a short drive from Church Agios Nikolaos Foundoukli (roughly 29 km to Stegna Beach and about 15 km to Ancient Kamiros).

An alpine-style hideaway that looks out over pine-clad mountains and the Aegean Sea. Rooms keep a classic, cozy feel — soft colours, stylish wallpapers, iron beds, mini-fridges and en-suite bathrooms with complimentary toiletries — while the grounds keep the island's historic colors and forest paths. The setting pairs easy resort comforts with access to hiking, cycling and local cultural events.

Sip at a wine bar, relax on the terrace or stretch on the outdoor tennis court and garden. The hotel runs a tour desk and offers free self-parking, 24-hour reception and a network of hiking paths for cycling, mountain biking, archery and orienteering — wake up to Aegean-sea views and forest-scented mornings.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property, express check-in/check-out and a 24-hour front desk. Tour/ticket assistance, car rental and a safe-deposit box are also available.

An on-site restaurant serves local and international flavours alongside handmade pastries, with a bar/lounge and a dedicated traditional tavern offering authentic Greek cuisine and aromatic Greek coffee. Room service is available during limited hours.
