We've changed our minds yet again, and now looking at these three resorts, we was looking at Zante but it's a bit too expensive for us.
We don't want a 18-30's holiday but need enough bars/restaurants/shops to keep us entertained, and a few excursions. We're both 19, where do you think would be best.
Looking at Ziakis Studios at the mo (think that's right, can't read my own hand writing ) are they any good? Had a look on the reviews section already but anymore info??
Trianta is close enough for nights out in Rhodes Town. Its been a few years since I've been but I did n't think much of the beach to be honest. Pefkos- haven't been but it looks good. Not sure how much night life it has. Lindos- beautiful place and plenty of nightlife without being 18-30 ish.

Zante expensive
I was looking on Manos yesterday - several deals to Zante for under £400 for the 2 of us for 2 weeks gong middle of May.
In my opinion, (and i stress only my opinion) Rhodes has become very commersialised over recent years, with a lot of big AI hotels sprouting up in smaller resorts like Lardos, and i also think Pefkos has a 'British' feel to it nowerdays. I agree that Lindos is nice, very cosmopolitan and still has it's 'Greek' charm.
Think the Thomas Cook sites going a bit doolally, trying to book a holiday at the Ziakis hotel and it's saying it's sold out from every airport in the UK. It was fine half an hour ago
Pefkos, I agree with a previous poster, it has gone very British and is looking quite tacky nowadays, Blackpool in the sun.
I can't comment on Trianta as I have never been there all I know is it is close to Rhodes down but the beach will be shingly instead of sand in Lindos and Pefkos

Which hotel are you thinking of in Trianta?
I have always found Zante more expensive than Rhodes too, the hotels are not as nice and are more pricey for what you get and just eating out is more costly.

I'm sorry, but that statement is a load of rubbish. I've been to both islands many times, and found no real difference in the cost of eating out.
Just what do you think is more expensive on Zante as opposed to Rhodes, car hire, sunbeds, what?
I think that I explained what I meant pretty well actually, and I am not going to justify myself to someone who is so rude. I was stating my opinion which, I believe, is the purpose of this site.
thanking you in anticipation dave
The reason I said Trianta rather than Pefkos is just location really, not price. The original question was which resort to choose and I just pointed out the bits that may make Trianta more attractive to a young couple (i.e. being more central to all the nightlife in Rhodes Towm/Faliraki etc and the convenience). Pefkos much further away from the airport and Rhodes Town, or Falaraki if you are so inclined, so its a longer transfer time especially if you are getting your transfer from a TO. I know loads of people who go to Pefkos every year and love it, but its just a bit too far down for us, as when we have stayed this end we always seem to be driving up and down the coast to get to the top of the island. Lindos is spectacular but we feel we have done it to death now. As I said, this really is my own opinion and it really depends on what you are looking for.
I have to agree with Ninkynonk. Lindos is beautiful and if, like Marcus on this forum your friends are all down there that's great.I may be biased as all my friends are at the top end of the island but when we first went to Rhodes in 1982 I think if we'd gone to Lindos (Pefkos wasn't a resort in those days!) we might never have returned to the island.There's far more to do/see at the top end so unless you just want a beach holiday, I'd say Trianda every time. Just my opinion. Hope it helps. Anne
significant difference in the cost of buying a meal and drinks on Rhodes as opposed to Zante, or any other Greek island, and asked you to give examples to the contrary.
Yes, this is a place to gain information, but correct information, and I believe the information you gave regarding eating out was incorrect, (I can't comment on the hotels) hence my post.
Again, I was not being rude..
