Kallithea, Rhodes, has long been a firm favourite for holidaymakers travelling from the UK. With its reliable sunshine, crystal-clear Aegean waters, and a relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere, it perfectly captures the appeal of a classic Greek getaway.

Whether you are looking for a week of pure relaxation by the sea or a base to explore the wider island, this area offers an ideal balance of comfort and convenience. It is the kind of place where days are spent by the water and evenings are enjoyed with local food under the stars.

Where to Stay in Kallithea and Rhodes

Choosing the right resort is essential for a stress-free holiday. The area offers some excellent options for those seeking a high-quality package experience:

• Grecotel LUXME Dama Dama: This 4-star beachfront resort is located in Faliraki, Rhodes, offering a great balance of amenities for families and couples alike.
• Amada Colossos Resort: For those seeking a more premium experience, this 5-star luxury beachfront resort is also located in Faliraki, Rhodes.

Both of these properties provide easy access to the coastline, ensuring that a dip in the sea is never more than a short walk from your hotel room.

Beaches and Local Atmosphere

The coastline around Kallithea is famous for its rocky coves and sheltered bays, which provide some of the clearest water in the Greek Islands. It is an excellent spot for those who enjoy swimming and snorkelling, as the calm conditions are ideal for exploring the underwater world. You will find plenty of sun loungers and parasols available for hire, making it easy to settle in for a long, lazy day by the sea.

The pace of life here is distinctly unhurried. While it remains close to the more vibrant nightlife hubs, Kallithea itself maintains a slightly more laid-back character, making it well-suited to travellers who want to escape the hustle and bustle while still having easy access to everything they need for a comfortable holiday.

Getting There and When to Go

Getting to Kallithea is straightforward for UK travellers. Flight times from hubs like Manchester or Liverpool are manageable, and upon arrival in Rhodes, transfers to your resort are usually efficient and well-organised.

The best time to visit is typically between May and October. May and June offer lovely, temperate weather before the peak heat of July and August arrives. If you prefer things a little cooler, September and October are fantastic months to visit, as the sea remains warm enough for swimming, but the midday sun is far less intense.

Food and Things to Do

No trip to Greece is complete without indulging in the local cuisine. Expect plenty of fresh fish, Greek salads, and traditional dips like tzatziki. Dining out in the evening is a highlight of the experience, often featuring alfresco seating that allows you to soak up the cooling sea breeze. When you aren't lounging on the beach, you can easily take a trip into nearby Rhodes town to wander through its historic centre, where the narrow streets and ancient architecture offer a fascinating glimpse into the island's long and storied past.

Who Should Choose Kallithea?

Kallithea is an excellent choice for couples who want a romantic setting and families who need the convenience of all-inclusive or beachfront package facilities. Because the resorts are well-equipped, it suits those who want a ‘fly and flop’ style holiday where everything is taken care of from the moment you land. If you want to combine the ease of a UK-organised package with the authentic charm of the Greek Islands, this destination is hard to beat.
