Rhodes: discover the serene beauty of the southern coast

Keep the Mediterranean sea to your left, and leave the bustling Rhodes Town behind as you travel south, away from the more saturated tourist spots. The natural beauty of Rhodes unveils itself as the route follows a continuous coastline, with a stream of untouched beaches and impressive mountain views speckled with villages. After 61 kilometres, you will reach the former fishing village of Gennadi: the perfect spot for an idyllic and tranquil escape.

Gennadi is a place of pristine beaches, traditional, whitewashed houses and a myriad of narrow bougainvillea-lined streets, which take you on a self-guided tour of welcoming local taverns. The generations of tavern owners date back years and years, as do the recipes of  the dishes that they serve.
