Explore Kallithea
Kallithea (Kalithea) Beach stands as a local favorite, known for its charm among the island's residents. Nestled on the eastern coast of Rhodes, just 2 kilometers from the lively resort of Faliraki, Kallithea is a haven of many small creeks adorned with pine trees, creating a picturesque setting. The deep blue waters demand a bit of caution while swimming, adding a touch of adventure to your beach experience. 🌊
Set against a backdrop of stunning beaches and world-famous spa baths, Kallithea offers a relatively quiet escape with an extraordinary array of entertainment choices. The well-organized beaches provide cafes, canteens, restaurants, and umbrellas for a comfortable day by the sea. The tiny inlets, coves, and caves attract locals and visitors alike, catering to every member of the family with endless exploratory promises. For the adventurous, underwater diving trips are available, while water sports enthusiasts can indulge in thrilling activities. If relaxation is your preference, finding a more perfect spot might be a challenge. 🏄♂️
Kallithea Spa, built in 1920 during the Italian rule, holds historical significance. Legend has it that Hippocrates, the father of all physicians, recognized and recommended the healing qualities of Kallithea waters back in 460 BC. Although the original healing waters have dried up, the renovated domed pavilions and archways now offer crystal-clear sea waters and magical scenery. The area hosts restaurants, cafes, an art gallery, and serves as a venue for weddings, conferences, and events. The gardens surrounding the spa showcase various herbs and spices, contributing to a sensory-rich experience. 🌿
After visiting the Baths, venture towards Faliraki and take the first dirt track to the left. Follow the signs leading to small eating places, guiding you to a series of pine-covered bays and coves. Each cove, with its stone pools and rocks, offers a unique swimming experience, but caution is advised due to the deep sea. Locals often refer to this area as "let's go for a swim at Kallithea." Sun beds, small restaurants, and the charming character of each cove make it an ideal spot to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Rhodes. 🌅
