Luxury Kalathos Holidays

Quiet beaches and historical sites

On Rhodes’ stunning east coast, Kalathos is a peaceful retreat known for its long stretch of pebbled beaches and crystal-clear waters. Just a short drive from the medieval beauty of Lindos, Kalathos offers a taste of authentic Greek island life. With a backdrop of gentle hills and olive groves, this charming resort provides the perfect blend of tranquillity and convenience for couples, families, and those simply seeking the slow pace of the South Aegean. 

Days here are often spent soaking up the sunshine on the 4km long beach, where sun loungers line the sands and the calm sea is ideal for swimming. For those that are more active, there are opportunities for water sports, boat trips along the coastline, or exploring the scenic walking routes through surrounding olive groves. Evenings in Kalathos are relaxed, with traditional tavernas serving local favourites such as meze and fresh seafood, paired with a chilled glass of ouzo or wine. 

Luxury holidays in Kalathos

A holiday in Kalathos offers a slower, more peaceful side of Rhodes while still being close to some of the island’s most celebrated highlights. The UNESCO listed village of Lindos is a short drive away, where whitewashed houses, rooftop restaurants, and the ancient Acropolis overlook a picture perfect bay. Further afield, history enthusiasts can explore Rhodes Town with its medieval Old Town and lively harbour.

When to go

Rhodes enjoys the most sunshine of any other Greek island – 300 days a year, in fact. Temperate springs and long, dry summers give you plenty of time to visit. The earlier months of the season suit sightseeing, while the mid-summer months of July and August push 30°C – perfect for keen beachgoers. Even in the height of summer, the island’s cool winds take care of any humidity.

Visa Information

Currently visas are not required for UK citizens travelling to Greece.

Tipping

In Greece, a service charge will be included in the bill at restaurants and bars. Much like the UK, an additional tip is not required, although is appreciated for particularly good service. It is common to round off the amount when paying cash, particularly with wait staff and taxi drivers.

Introduction to languages

The official language of Greece is Greek.  English is widely spoken, too, so getting by is easy.
