Saint Paul beach in Rhodes

Saint Pauls beach, or Agios Pavlos, is one of the most spectacular beaches in Rhodes. This lagoon-like bay is located south of the Acropolis in Lindos. The bay is named after the apostle Paul who is said to have landed here during a storm in the middle of the first century AD when he was going to spread Christianity to Rhodes.

Wonderful Saint Paul beach, or Agios Pavlos as the bay is also called.

In this wonderful lagoon there are two small beaches and lots of rocks from which you can jump or dive straight into the azure sea. The view of the bay is one of the most eye-catching in all of Rhodes. Even the view you have when you lie and swim in the water and look up at the Acropolis is fantastic and must be experienced.

The water in the bay is very suitable for snorkelling.

Saint Paul is very close to Lindos, it is not further than you can walk here, but you can also drive down, by car or moped. You can also go by boat from Mandraki harbour in Rhodes town.
