Beach overall scores
Paralia Glifada II (South Aegean) is located outside the Sianna settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Rhodes island and the correct question is not how to get to Paralia Glifada II, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"The arrival is difficult to navigate. We kept driving until we reached a point where a path descends towards the small house. It's impossible to proceed with a small car, so it's best to leave it where it is. From there, it's approximately a 2.2 km walk. Once you reach the bottom, you'll need to pass through the gate adorned with Greek writing in order to reach the tower."

Paralia Glifada II (Rhodes island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Paralia Glifada II (Rhodes island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Paralia Glifada II for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
