When I think of a trip to Europe, I think of the culture, old buildings and having coffee in a cafe on a cobblestone street. I don’t think of going to the beach. Coming from Australia, we’ve got beaches in spades, but not much in the way of culture and old buildings.
That goes for Rhodes as well. Rhodes Old Town has so much history packed into it and it is a fascinating place. The beaches though are pretty rocky for my taste. In fact the beaches near the old town supply the cobbles that still make up much of the old town pavement.
If you are looking for sandy beaches in Rhodes, head to the east coast.
