Gennadi is located in the less developed south of Rhodes, offering an authentic Greek experience paired with an impressive coastline. The village itself charms visitors with its whitewashed houses, narrow alleys, and a lively main square where locals and visitors gather in traditional kafenions. Gennadi Beach is a massive, sprawling pebble beach renowned for its incredibly clear water. Here, you can find both trendy beach clubs, famous for their Sunday parties, and secluded sections where you can enjoy absolute peace. The blend of the rugged southern nature and the cozy village atmosphere is particularly appealing. Local tavernas in Gennadi are known for their excellent cuisine, especially grilled meats and fresh seafood. The village is also a handy starting point for trips to the Prasonisi peninsula, the mecca for windsurfers and kitesurfers, which is only about 15 minutes away. Visiting Gennadi allows you to experience Rhodes away from the main tourist crowds, with wide horizons and a relaxed way of life typical of the island's south. The sunsets here are spectacular, and the nights are often brilliantly starry.
