There’s something about the beach. The salty breeze. The sun, warming your shoulders. The soft fizz of waves. And if you’ve chosen Rhodes as your escape, bravo! You’re in for a good time.
We’ve mapped out the most irresistible beachside stops in Rhodes, each with its own signature charm - plus one iconic beach that you don’t even need to leave the resort to enjoy.
Let’s dive in.
1. Traganou Beach (also known as Traounou): The Rebel Beauty
Not your typical “postcard” beach — and that’s exactly the point. Traganou skips the tourist gloss for pebbled grace, turquoise clarity, and just the right touch of the wild. Tucked at the far end, a sea-carved cave that feels like Poseidon's private retreat. Ideal for boat stops, spontaneous snorkeling, or that quiet moment where you wonder if you should ever go back to emails again.

2. Tsampika Beach: Big, Bold & Beautiful
Where golden dunes kiss shallow emerald waters. Tsampika is family-friendly, photo-ready, and fringed with sunbeds, beach bars and water sports to help you earn that sunset cocktail. Bonus trivia: local lore says women visit the nearby Panagia Monastery for a little fertility luck.
28 mins by car | 19 km from Amada Colossos Resort
3. Agathi Beach: Shallow Waters & Deep History
Fine sands, utter calmness, and the medieval silhouette of Feraklos Castle watching over you from above. Agathi is that beach you want to keep secret — but can’t help telling everyone about. Gentle waters for swimming, underwater rock formations for snorkeling, and a tiny chapel (Agia Agathi) peeking from the hillside like a blessing.

4. Kalavarda Beach: Where Time Slows
Rustic, raw, quietly magical. Kalavarda has sand and pebbles, a beach bar, and the kind of sunsets that make you pause mid-sentence. Bring a book, your best hat, and your sense of wonder. Afterwards, wander to the nearby village or explore the ruins of Ancient Kamiros. Culture and chill, beautifully combined.
39 mins by car | 33 km from Amada Colossos Resort
5. Stegna Beach: Sea, Serenity & Seafood
Part village, part vibe. Stegna is a blend of soft pebbles, clear waters, and the soft hum of a fishing village in the background. You’ll find a few water sports, a quiet harbor, and legendary fish tavernas where octopus, wine and ouzo flow in harmony.

We believe in seaside fun that respects the sea. Here's how we do better:
-Choose reef-safe sunscreen (your skin wins, marine life does too).
-Avoid single-use plastics – prefer reusable bottles.
-Respect marine creatures – we admire, we avoid touching.
-Smooth your sandcastles before leaving – it helps hatchlings make their way home.
-Leave no trace and take only tan lines & memories.
Because a beautiful beach is something we borrow from the next traveler. Or the next generation. Let’s make every beach day a good one, for us and the planet.
