Kalithea Holidays

Relaxation on the Rhodes coast

With Rhodes Town to the north and energetic Faliraki to the east, Kalithea holidays are an oasis of calm, ideally located for those wanting the best of all worlds on an authentic Greek adventure. While away the hours snorkelling around the beautiful corals of Kalithea Bay, where the warm waters are teeming with marine life. Afterwards, a choice of sandy beaches provides the perfect opportunity to soak up the sun.

A regular bus service means trips into Rhodes Town are a doddle – and it’s certainly well worth making the journey to explore the characterful streets and market stalls found in the island’s capital. If you’re looking for after-dark entertainment, take a taxi to lively Faliraki beach, where the party scene continues until dawn. Although, given the mix of spectacular scenery and delicious food found on holidays to Kalithea, you may have no desire to leave.
