Kremasti Holidays

Kremasti's a charming town on the Greek island of Rhodes. This place’s main attraction is the beach – a long stretch of sand and shingle that runs the length of the town. You’ve also got a tree-lined main square with a few tavernas and shops. And if you're after nightlife and history, you've got Rhodes Town within a 20-minute drive.

Kremasti’s beach is one of the most popular on Rhodes – it’s a big hit with local families but it never gets too crowded. In fact, this beach keeps on running for 10 kilometres past Kremasti, so there are plenty of secluded spots to choose from. And if you fancy a change of scenery, party hotspot Faliraki beach and the pin-drop peaceful cove at Kalithea are just across the island, within a 20-minute drive.

It may be small, but Kremasti still packs in a lot of sights. There’s the whitewashed Panagia Kremasti church, decorated inside with stunning murals. Then next door you’ve got the town’s library, which is designed to look like Rome’s Pantheon. From here it’s a short walk to a 15th-century Medieval castle. Because it's perched on a hill, you can see all the way to southern Turkey from the top.

The Medieval old town in Rhodes is home to the Palace of the Grand Masters, a towering structure with two looming towers. Nearby is the Street of the Knights, where quaint lodgings housed the Knights that ruled the city in the 14th and 15th centuries. There are ancient ruins here, too. The Temple of Aphrodite is just around the corner and dates back to the 3rd century BC.
