About Rhodes island

At first glance, the diversity of the beaches of the Rhodes island does not have a prominent distinctive feature. There is no clear predominance of mountain landscapes or crystal sea, on the contrary, everything seems balanced. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the flow of tourists continues to grow from year to year.

General information

Long straight beaches dominate the coast of Rhodes island. Large spaces mean you can always find a comfortable place to relax. That is why travelers appreciate these places so much. One of the disadvantages of this type of beach is the scarce natural shade, so if you choose to relax on the wild part of the coast, be prepared to be alone with the scorching sun without the opportunity to take cover in a cool shade.

One of the interesting features of Rhodes island is that most of its beaches are located away from the city's bustle, and many offer unforgettable views and magnificent seascapes. Maybe this This may not be the main factor determining the choice, but you must agree that getting a tan against an amazing landscape is much more pleasant!

This is an overview of the Rhodes island’s best beaches, sandy and pebble, comfortable and wild, easily accessible and inaccessible. What they have in common is that each of them is to some extent a favorite. So, to choose for yourself, we recommend you visit them all.

LINDOS BEACH

When visiting the main attraction of the island, the Acropolis in Lindos, you will not miss the beach located there. It is notable for its aura and atmosphere, because it is next to such an amazing historical place (Lindos), which was visited by Alexander the Great himself.

Golden sand, picturesque cliffs and various gradients of the sea from blue to emerald are conducive to swimming and contemplation. You can see the sunset here, so lovers of romance – welcome to Lindos Beach.

FALIRAKI BEACH

It is located in a resort town, about 20 km from the capital of Rhodes. Who will he be best for?

It is the best place for those who prefer to have a pleasant holiday, when everything is at hand – taverns, sea entertainment, and water sports.

It is a nice beach for walking and strolling along the sandy spit. Faliraki is about 5 km long and has a wide sandbar. For those who are bored lying on a lounger and prefer a more active holiday – there will be a place to go around in the literal sense.

For families with children it will be interesting here. Banana rides, horseback rides, access to a large water park... If you wish to bring joy to your child, Faliraki Beach will be more suitable than any other.

PRISONISI

The beach is curious, first of all, because it is the meeting place of the two seas. It is windy and has many waves – a paradise for surfing and other water sports. This beach is often "out of the way", because it is located away from popular tourist areas – on the southern point of the island, which is far from the capital and major attractions. That’s why people are coming here on purpose.

It is the best place for wave catchers and active water rest.

For connoisseurs to see a unique phenomenon – the sea is raging on the left, on the right – peace and grace. The kiss of the two seas, the Mediterranean and the Aegean gives such an unusual effect.

HARAKI

It’s a warm sea and a nice pebble mixed with sand on the beach. It's a popular place to stop by on your way to Lindos, for example. Also here rest those who stay in the small village of the same name. What is interesting is that it overlooks the medieval castle – a landmark of these places.

The swimming area is located in a small bay, where the sea is calm without surprises.

AGATHI BEACH

Not far from the aforementioned Haraki there is a wonderful sandy cove. It’s small, but full of sunbeds and umbrellas. Available space can be found in the shadow of large stones or rocks, in which case an umbrella is not necessary.

The large number of sunbathers and swimmers is due to the fact that it is a very, very warm and very shallow sea. Those who like to swim in the deep will have to swim much further or even look for another place.

Agathi is the best beach for children’s safe bathing.

RHODES BEACH

In the heart of Rhodes, on the lively tourist path, so to speak, there is this beach. Of course, it is not about solitude, meditation, or contemplation of nature. Here, tourists are plunged into the water exhausted but happy after visiting the sights. This beach will be the best for those who are tired of a long tour of the Old Town and the port, from museums and fantasies about what Colossus Rhodes looked like, that stood up in the time... and wants to plunge the Rhodes Sea and stretch out full height on the sand as it grows.

The atmosphere sets the rhythm of life around, yachts, architecture – interesting in general, but calm rest is not possible.

ANTHONY QUINN BEACH

It is located south of Faliraki. This place had to the liking of the actor they call this magical place after. If you live near Faliraki, but you find the beach too noisy and crowded, you have an opportunity to rest here. First of all it is beautiful: the rocks beautifully envelop the cozy bay, the turquoise sea is calm and warm.

Photos from this beach are among the best, as rocks and stone blocks in the sea allow you to enter even the role of a mermaid.

ST. PAULS BAY (ST. PAUL'S BAY)

Located near the town of Lindos and Lindos beach. A very picturesque place, both from the top of the panorama to observe, as well as being directly on the shore.

According to legend the Apostle Paul found salvation from a fierce storm at sea here. At first he almost died, but miraculous prayers of the saint were answered and his quiet cove appeared. This is a popular beach and one of the best beaches in Rhodes.

This cove can be especially memorable for you if you symbolically or truly get married in the church of St. Paul, located nearby.

We are sure that in Rhodes, everyone can choose a beach he likes, since from 220 km of coastline something will definitely be admired and will be the best personally for you.
