All the reviews about the place are true. The prices are much more reasonable than those around for what these beach bars and restaurants offer in terms of food and basic drinks. It is also situated in-between two “hype” beaches with a great view with tables under the trees. So you can still have the best of both worlds.
What I can also add is how helpful and welcoming the owners are. FYI the public transport system in Rhodes is not the most efficient especially if you want to buy bus tickets. Just make sure to always have some cash with you (simply rent a car) because there are no ticket machines at the bus stops and you can’t pay by card. So we weren’t allowed in the bus (!!!) although we were heading to the final stop where there are 2 ticket corners. Anyway we returned to the cantina and the owners helped us out by offering to pay for our bus fare. We obviously didn’t accept and insisted on paying digitally.

Read moreTake out truck conveniently located in the parking lot of kalithea springs. The owner/chef is super friendly and makes you feel welcome.

I’d highly recommend a stop...

Nicely served in a neatly wrapped flatbread, stuffed with finely sliced red onion, fresh tomato, and mayo, then filled to the brim with very tasty chicken slices, and topped off with some fries. Cold drinks in the fridge.
There are a few other options, of hotdogs, or omelette / chicken in a bun, and a burger. We had one plain hotdog and 3 Pita Chicken Gyros plus 4 drinks for under €20.
There is seating about the Cantina with nice shady spots under the pine trees behind.
Come for the Gyros, stay...
