Where to Stay in Kallithea and Rhodes

Choosing the right accommodation is essential for a stress-free holiday. The area surrounding Kallithea and the wider Rhodes region offers excellent beachfront options that cater to different travel styles, ensuring you are never far from the water.

• Kresten Palace Hotel: This 4-star beachfront hotel is located in Kalithea, Rhodes, providing guests with wonderful views overlooking the Aegean Sea.
• Grecotel LUXME Dama Dama: Situated just along the coast, this 4-star beachfront resort is located in Faliraki, Rhodes, offering a more energetic atmosphere for those who enjoy being closer to the action.

Beaches and Local Resorts

The coastline around Kallithea is one of its primary draws. You can expect clean, organised beaches that are perfect for those who like to hire a sunbed, grab a drink, and enjoy the Mediterranean climate. The waters here are typically calm and clear, making them ideal for a cooling dip or a bit of snorkelling. If you venture slightly further afield toward the nearby towns, you will find a variety of shores ranging from quiet, sheltered coves to lively stretches of sand equipped with watersports facilities.

Food, Culture and Getting Around

When you are not lounging by the pool or on the beach, the local area provides plenty of opportunities to experience the pace of Greek life. Dining in Rhodes is a highlight of any trip; you will find plenty of family-run tavernas serving fresh, local produce, grilled meats, and classic salads. The region is well-connected, making it simple to hop on a local bus or arrange a taxi to reach the nearby towns. A trip to the main centre of Rhodes is highly recommended for an afternoon stroll through its storied streets, where history feels present around every corner.

When to Go and Who It Suits

The best time to visit is during the shoulder months of May, June, and September, when the weather is warm enough for swimming but the midday heat is not quite as intense as in high summer. If you are travelling with children, the ease of access to the beach and the high standard of hotel facilities in Kallithea make it an excellent choice for a stress-free family break. Couples looking for a blend of quiet relaxation and easy access to the historical sites will also find that this part of the island perfectly hits the mark.
