Lesser known beaches in Rhodes

As you can understand, there are any number of beaches in Rhodes. I write about the beaches that most people know about on this page.

Below are pictures of beaches that may not be unknown, but still ones that not everyone knows about. Almost everyone who travels to Rhodes lives in or near the major tourist resorts, and most settle for the beaches available in the immediate area. The two most famous, and perhaps most visited, beaches are Elli beach and Windy beach in Rhodes town. The beaches on the west coast of Rhodes are not so well known, nor are they exploited.

North of Gennadi beach is Lardos beach, which is fairly well known.

Pefkos beach is north of Lardos beach and south of the village of Lindos.

Below Lindos are two of Rhodes most well-known beaches: Lindos beach and Pallas beach.

Vlycha beach is just north of Lindos.

After Lindos and Vlycha on the west coast of Rhodes, the most popular and famous beaches are in a long line: Haraki beach, Agathi beach, Stegna beach, Tsambika beach, Kolymbia beach, Afandou beach, Tragandou beach, Ladiko beach, Anthony Quinn beach, Faliraki beach, Nikolas, Tassos and Oasis beach, Kokkina beach, Kallithea Springs beach and Sunwing Kallithea beach.

Agia Marina beach is just north of Sunwing Kallithea beach.

North of Sunwing Kallithea beach is Agia Marina beach which I believe is one of the most secret beaches in all of Rhodes. Those who know the beach usually stay at the Amira Hotel in Kallithea. In the far part of the beach there is a restaurant and beach bar called Santa Marina beach, which is the English name for Agia Marina.
