Map of Kalithea in Rhodes Island Greece
Kalithea
On the East coast of
the Island you will find Kalithea, and attractive resort
around 4km from Faliraki. The resort is developing slowly and
boasts a number of large, A class hotels. Kalithea has a sandy
beach of a very high standard and is perfect for children.
Scuba diving and other watersports are available in high
season.
Typical Greek dishes and international cuisine are available
in the many restaurants in resort, and there are a few small
supermarkets too. There are a few bars and a disco in town,
but those looking for nightlife would be best off going to
Faliraki.
Distance from Rhodes City: 10Km
The village of Kalithies offers narrow alleys and numerous
monuments. The oldest written mention to this area comes
from the year 1474 and the village is referred to as "Calathies"
or "Calaties", probably because of the plant "kolythos" or "kolytea"
which flourishes in the area. Here you will find the church
of the "Metamorphosis of the Savior", who's iconostasis is
estimated from the 16th century.
The "Eleousa Monastery" is waiting for you on the west side
of the village. Two blazons from the time of the Knights
will meet you at the entrance, while in the inside you can
find some unique and spectacular murals. You should also not
neglect visiting the stalactite cave of St. George, which is
the oldest known Neolithic dwelling on the Island.
Visit the Church of the Honorable Cross and enjoy the unique
panoramic view towards the village. While leaving the
church, stop at one of the numerous traditional coffee
shops, and enjoy a cup of coffee. Remember! Time here does
not matter!
If you happen to be on Rhodes in September, you must not
miss the festival of the Honorable Cross. It is one of the
most spectacular festivals on the island. |
