Elli Beach Rhodes — Your City-Beach Escape with G.E.S. Travel
Elli Beach is a breathtaking seashore, lying at the northern tip of Rhodes Town. It is to be found only a short walk from the port and the medieval center, offering one of the easiest beach escapes on the island. The shoreline extends roughly 400 meters between the harbor and the old Aquarium building. The waters are clear and inviting, and although the beach is partly pebbly with some coarse sand, it offers sunbeds, umbrellas, and amenities that make it a comfortable place to relax.
On the right side of the beach, near the old harbor, swimmers sometimes enjoy jumping from the small sea platform, a playful landmark still popular after many decades. Whether you prefer a full sunbath afternoon with your family, or several short breaks between sightseeing, Elli Beach balances relaxation and convenience.
What to do
Swimming & sunbathing: The sea is usually calm and clean. The layout of sunbeds and umbrellas gives comfort and convenience.
Social beach-club vibe if you like it lively: Bars and cafés line the coast, offering drinks, snacks, cocktails, and music — ideal for those who want to combine beach time with sociable vibes.
Water sports: From parasailing and jet-ski rides to banana-boat runs, Ellie Beach is a must for guests craving movement and excitement.
Flexibility for different moods: If you want calm, choose the side toward the Aquarium or visit early morning. For nightlife or evening drinks, sunset on the beach gives a nice glow and relaxed energy.
When to go & what to know
Best time to visit: Late spring or early summer avoids peak crowds but retains warm water. For a quieter experience, mornings before 11:00 or evenings after 18:00 are ideal.
Footwear advice: The pebbly sections mean sandals or water-shoes are useful — walking barefoot can be uncomfortable.
Facilities: Sunbeds & umbrellas are available to rent; there are showers and changing booths on site.
Crowd & noise: During summer, Elli gets busy which means it’s great for energy and socializing, less so for solitude. For more calm, aim outside peak hours.
