Kalithea is situated against a setting of world-famous spa baths and stunning beaches on the eastern coast of Rhodes. The tiny inlets and coves sprinkled with sculptured rocks and caves are gorgeous and offer endless exploratory promise. Diving and snorkelling are very popular as well as the other watersports on offer. The Kalithea Spa was built in 1920 by the Italians. Following its restoration, the spa is a top sight. Many guests visit the area for its crystal clear azure waters and magical scenery.
The picturesque village of Koskinou is utterly charming. It is famed as the prettiest village in Rhodes and is sprinkled with colourful plant pots and traditional Greek houses decorated with bright, vibrant colours. Koskinou is an exciting labyrinth of tiny, winding, cobblestone streets with fabulous splashes of red, blue, yellow, green, pink and turquoise. You feel so alive and happy meandering through the lanes. The facades, doors and windows of the 17th and 18th century neoclassical houses are bright and cheerful, many with carved or etched designs. Small patios and gardens compete in charisma and splendour. You won’t be able to resist peeking in!
