I just love visiting this location, left a review in 2022 and here i am again with my positive thoughts.

I am not generally a spiritual person, but i do feel an energy when i visit Rhodes and Kallithea is the cherry on the icing of the spiritual cake for me. I just feel so good when i am here.

Happily i remembered my snorkel this year, so i had plenty of time swimming about, looking at the many species of fish that inhabit the cove. There is one, it looks a bit like a feather, i thought it was a long thin leaf but i when i reached out it swam up and away, even jumping out of the water. Quite amazing.

It even rained, but that did not dampen my spirits.

The boring bit...it costs €4 per person to enter, and while the beach is the main attraction, there are gardens and some monuments to see. I find the buildings remarkable as i still remember before the modernisation 25 years ago, and the changes since then are stark.

It is not essential to hire sunbeds, there are some small areas to sit and enjoy the sun etc, and at €20 for 2 beds and canopy some people were saying 'no thank you'. I dont mind, it is is a treat for me, and as i stay for 4 or 5 hours i want some luxury and comfort. In Rhodes it is €15 for 2 beds and canopy, so a little more here.

Last year the €20 included 1 bottle of lemonade each, very well chilled and refreshing. This year, sadly, no free drink and it was €5.70 each on the menu, so an extra €11.40, a disappointing development. You can take your own drinks, memo to self for next time.

Yet again i did not eat at the restaurant so i cant comment on the food. The prices seem a little high, for example €17 for a burger, and having paid €28 for entry and sunbeds another €40-50 for lubch would have been an expensive day.

The bus is €2.50 pp each way, and it takes about 15 mins from Rhodes centre. Taxis are frequently available, i think it is €17 per taxi each way. The bus stop is f16, and while the service is very regular in summer, we just seem to be into winter times, so you have to check times carefully, there seem to be some big gaps between buses. It is still very busy with tourists etc and lots of people use the service between Faliraki and Rhodes, so seats can be at a premium, and maybe a few extra buses would be an idea ?

Enough details, it's a great day out as far as i am concerned, if they let me camp on the beach i would live here, or maybe build a boat and sit in the cove, enjoying the sunshine, beautiful water and scenery. Otherwise i hope to visit plenty more times.
