💡 Tips
- The pebbly beach is very windy, which is good for windsurfing but less so for building sandcastles.
- Visit the Panagia Katholiki church, especially around August 15th for the huge Panigiri festival.
- Rhodes Airport is very close, so expect to see planes flying low over the beach.
- Renting a scooter is the best way to explore nearby villages like Paradisi or Ialysos.
- Avoid the midday heat and head to the beach for the sunset, which is spectacular on this side of the island.
