The rocky beach of Glyfada is situated at a distance of 72 kilometers southwestern to the town of Rhodes, at the center of the western coast of the island. It is a beach ideal for those looking for a clean sea far from the big crowds. The beach has large pebbles, covered with seaweeds, which are brought here by the winds blowing almost constantly. Entering the sea you have to step on rocks, which makes it a bit difficult. After all this, you may ask: “why to choose this beach?” Well, if you wish an easier life, you may go to Faliraki or to the other crowded, popular and…trendy beaches of the island. But, if you like to be alone, if you write a book, or if you are bored of the sandy organized beaches, then here is your place! You will enjoy a nice sea, without unwanted noise. Any way, this place is suitable for solitary souls only!

The only facilities offered at this beach are those of food and drink that offer a couple of small taverns, almost hidden by the rocks of the beach.

It is possible that your mobile phone does not work here. If it is imperative to phone somewhere when at this beach, you are obliged to use the card- operated telephone available. So don’t forget to buy phone-cards before arriving to the beach.
