The breezy west-coast resort strip just outside town — big hotels along a pebbly, wind-blown shore that's a magnet for windsurfers and kitesurfers. A comfortable resort base close to the airport and the Old Town, and the gateway to the butterfly valley and ancient cities inland.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 8.The Valley of the Butterflies — A cool, green ravine of streams, waterfalls and wooden bridges that fills each summer with millions of Jersey tiger moths, clustered on the tree trunks. A lovely, shady walk uphill through the woods and a change from the beach — best from June to September when the 'butterflies' are in; tread quietly, they're easily disturbed.
- 15.Ancient Kamiros — The evocative ruins of an ancient Doric city on a west-coast hillside — a whole town of house foundations, streets, a temple and a reservoir stepping down to the sea, often called the 'Pompeii of Rhodes'. Quiet and uncrowded, with a lovely sea view; a rewarding stop on a drive down the west coast.
