The walls are built of stones in a cement frame, while all the window frames and balconies are made of wood.
The Elafos hotel was the first part built by the italians in 1929 (Albergo del Cervo). In 1930, a ground floor restaurant with a large veranda, a tennis court and a dancing floor were added while later on, the second floor was constructed, replacing the veranda. In 1932 the building was extended with a new wing, called Elafina. Thus, the hotel was finally named "Elafos and Elafina" after a certain species of deer that lives in the woods nearby.
The location is situated 45 kilometers from Rhodes town and 30 kilometers from Rhodes airport, at an altitude of 780 meters and almost in the centre of the island, in a green environment with rare vegetation, high pine trees, perennial plane trees and the unique cedar species of “Atlas Cedar”. It offers an excellent place for those who wish to spend some time in peace and relax in the environment of a mountain.Even if you do not wish to stay there, it is still worth a visit for a coffee in the cafeteria or a meal in the restaurant. It is worth mentioning that there has been much efford to keep the original style and feeling of the exterior and interior hotel characteristics.
