I could use some updated advice. When I sit at the beach, I don’t want it to be crazy—I’m looking for calm, quiet, and a bit of space to breathe. I just found out in another thread that some of the beaches I was considering for my upcoming trip to Rhodes have changed a lot over the years—apparently some are way more crowded or developed now than they used to be.

Does anyone have recommendations for truly relaxing beaches on the island? I don’t need beach bars or party vibes—just clear water, a peaceful atmosphere, and preferably not packed with sunbeds wall to wall. A little taverna nearby would be a bonus, but I’m happy packing my own lunch too.

Are there any spots that still feel a bit under the radar, or at least mellow during certain times of day? I’d really appreciate any suggestions from recent visitors.
 
look for Limni & Fourni beaches.google maps will have directions & photos
 
If you’re craving peace and quiet on Rhodes, there are still a few beautiful beaches that feel calm and under the radar.
  • Try Agios Georgios on the west coast—very remote and great for solitude.
  • Plimiri Beach in the south is also quiet, with soft sand and clear water.
  • Vlicha Beach, just south of Lindos, tends to be relaxed, especially in the morning, and the water is great for swimming.
For the most tranquil vibe, go early in the day or later in the afternoon, and skip the main beach bars. Packing your own lunch is a great call. These aren’t totally secret spots, but they’re far less hectic than the north coast or resort-heavy beaches. Enjoy your time!
 
sorry but Agios Georgios beach is NOT on the west coast .It is to be found near St Marks church on the way to Kattavia almost on the southern tip of rhodes Plimiri Beach is NOT quiet .there is an inclusive hotel near by & they have sun beds on the beach .
Vlicha. You are having a laugh. there are several all inclusive hotels there with many sun beds on the beach. Plus private villas close by
 
I know these places Very well I have lived on Rhodes 16 years & seen many changes over that time .Sadly all beaches have changed & not to the good .
 
Re Agios Georgios. the road to Agios Georgios church is a dirt / gravel road .From the church to the beach is on soft deep sand .OK with a 4x4 vehicle .NOT recommend by car .Hire companies would not like you going there. Plus insurance will be invalid .I did read years ago of a motor cyclist getting stuck .
 

Ways to enjoy nature in Rhodes?

Hi everyone! I’m planning a trip to Rhodes soon and while I’m excited for the beaches and historical sites, I’d also love to connect with the natural side of the island. I know Rhodes is more than just medieval walls and crystal-clear water—so I’m wondering:

What are your favorite ways to enjoy nature in Rhodes?

Are there any scenic hikes, quiet walking trails, or nature reserves you’d recommend? I’ve heard of places like the Valley of the Butterflies and Seven Springs, but I’m open to hidden gems too—lush areas, mountain drives, peaceful beaches off the beaten path, or even botanical gardens or scenic outlooks.

I’m not necessarily looking for adrenaline adventures—just ways to unwind and take in the island’s natural beauty.

Snorkeling advice for Rhodes

I’m considering a trip to Rhodes, but I’m still in the early planning stages and gathering as much information as I can. One of my favorite activities on vacation is snorkeling, and I’ve heard Rhodes has some amazing spots for underwater exploration.

Can anyone recommend the best places to snorkel around the island? I’m looking for areas with clear water, vibrant marine life, and maybe even some unique underwater features like caves or rock formations. Are there any hidden gems or beaches that stand out for snorkeling?

Also, are there guided snorkeling tours worth checking out, or is it better to rent gear and explore on my own? Any tips for the best time of year to visit for calm, clear waters would also be super helpful. Thanks!

Traditional Dishes to Try While on Rhodes?

I’ll be visiting Rhodes this summer, and I can’t wait to explore the island’s food scene! I know Greek cuisine is amazing, but I’d love to try local dishes that are unique to Rhodes.

Are there any must-try specialties that I shouldn’t miss? I’ve heard about pitaroudia (chickpea fritters) and lakani (a slow-cooked meat dish), but I’d love more recommendations—whether it’s seafood, traditional meze, or local desserts.

Also, if you have any restaurant or taverna recommendations, I’d really appreciate it! I want to experience authentic, home-style cooking rather than just touristy spots. Bonus points if it’s by the sea with a great view!

Looking forward to your tips and suggestions—thanks in advance!
