Description

A small cove on Rhodes' east coast, just south of the resort of Kallithea, this beach sits along a stretch of rocky shoreline where the pine-covered hills meet the sea. The water here is clear and typically calm, with moderate wave exposure that makes it pleasant for swimming. Reached by a short dirt track off the main coastal road, parking is limited to the roadside verge. There are no facilities—no sunbeds, umbrellas, or tavernas—so you'll need to bring your own supplies, including shade and water. The lack of development keeps crowds thin, even in high season, and the quiet atmosphere appeals to those looking to escape the busier organised beaches nearby. The shoreline is a mix of pebbles and rock slabs, so water shoes are useful. It's a good spot for a peaceful swim or snorkel, but not suited for those who need amenities or easy access for pushchairs.
