Sitting on the southeast of Rhodes is the scenic and quiet beach resort of Kiotari. Kiotari holidays are popular with those seeking solitude by the sea as it's a great place to relax away from the touristy buzz of nearby resort Lindos.
The large Blue Flag beach is a real show-stopper and is mostly sandy, though there are stones as you wade further into the turquoise waters. Sprinkled with seafront hotels, action-packed watersports and a growing number of bustling bars and restaurants, Kiotari's supersized beach is brimming with choice whether you want to lounge on the sand or try out the surf. Once in Kiotari, let the traditional Greek cuisine live up to its reputation, which you can enjoy in the many tavernas and family-run restaurants dotted around the resort. If you can drag yourself away from the 4km stretch of sand, there's plenty more to be explored during your holidays to Kiotari, so set off on a day trip and discover what the idyllic island has to offer - whether you head into famous Lindos, Rhodes Town or the quaint local village of Gennadi.
The nearest airport to Kiotari is the Rhodes International Airport at a distance of 62km, which usually takes about an hour to reach. Taxi fares are estimated at around €1 per km. A lot of taxis are available and fixed fares for hotels are displayed at main taxi ranks as well. With costs similar to the other European locales, you have will options for cheaper as well as expensive places.
Essential Information: When you go and what you’ll need
Kiotari's spectacular
sand and shingle beach has certainly earned its Blue Flag status. The clear
blue sea is where all the action happens. It's dotted with watersport enthusiasts
trying their hand at water-skiing, wakeboarding and parasailing alongside
relaxing pedalo rides and plenty of room to snorkel. Sunloungers can be found
along the stretch for those that want to laze in the heat and there are a
couple of beachside bars that are great for enjoying a leisurely drink on the
sand. If you're day tripping, Lindos Bay is definitely worth stopping by.
Visit Lindos Town
Half an hour’s drive
from Kiotari is the Acropolis at Lindos, which is strewn with Greco-Roman
monuments. If you're a fan of shopping, spare some time at its bazaars which
sell everything from jewellery, pottery and clothes, or check out the local
produce including honey, olives and wine.
Food & Drink at Shimba Beach Bar
If you fancy a taste
of tradition, you can sample local cuisine at the numerous tavernas that dot
Kiotari. Crunch on crisp oven-fresh pita bread, feta cheese, succulent lamb
souvlaki or fantastic sea food, and relish the local wines. Places like Shimba
Beach Bar double as discos too, great for unwinding in the evenings with Jazz,
R&B and 80s beats.
Day Trip to Lindos from Kiotari!
If you're a little
indulgent, you probably won’t mind hopping on a boat ride to Lindos - a quiet, fine
stretch of beaches that’s ideal for snorkelling or swimming. The cruise also might
include a tasty Mediterranean lunch and is a great way of sightseeing around
the island!
