Glass dinnerware sets for a touch of the Mediterranean at Melenos Lindos, Greece
Melenos Lindos is an intimate retreat hidden in the Aegean Sea on the Rhodes island of Greece. The hotel is located on island’s famous Lindos heritage archaeological site and offers a combination of panoramic sea views with a doze of history.
The hotel is conceptualized as a village within village, with multiple small buildings, venues, terraces and gardens blended into the structure and architecture of the existing ancient Lindos site. Described as the “heritage village style”, the design of the retreat is based on the adaptation of the 17th century Lindian architecture, carrying the stylistic influences from the Byzantine, Medieval, Arabic and Ottoman times.

To re-create the atmosphere of the ancient Mediterranean city and pay homage to the island’s rich history, the design of the hotel incorporates sandstone and white-washed buildings, stone walls, pebble mosaics, details in hand-made ceramics and carved wood and decorative murals. The combination of tradition, comfort and serene natural surroundings makes Melenos Lindos a cozy romantic retreat.
