Paradeissi is a modern tourist resort at the southwestern coast of the island, extended along the public coastal road leading from the town of Rhodes to the villages and resorts of the western coast. It is situated at a distance of 15 kilometers far from the capital town of Rhodes and counts some 2.500 permanent residents. As it is very close to the International Airport of Rhodes, which is found only 1-2 kilometers at the East, the place receives numerous visitors and tourists.

Paradeissi is a very well developed tourist resort, offering any kind of facilities, along with an excellent sandy beach and crystal clear blue sea. At the same time, it is very close both to the airport and to the town of Rhodes. Apart from strolling around for shopping, it is worth seeing the traditional houses of the settlement, many of them restored. One of the best buildings is the one that used to house the High School of the village. You will be impressed by the hospitality and the open-hearted character of the locals, who preserve many of the characteristics they had when the, now, tourist resort was a traditional village.

Several alternatives for accommodation, food and drink, shopping and amusement are available in the settlement and in the area around.

You will enjoy swimming and sunbathing at the nice, well organized beach in front of the settlement, which is part of the 10-kilometers long sandy beach, starting from Kremasti at the Northeast, and continuing along the western coast up to Theologos, southwestern to Paradeissi.

A local feast (“panighyri”) takes place on the 17th of July, on the feast of Aghia Marina (St. Marina). The feast attracts many people, both locals and Greek and foreign visitors.

Health services are available in the resort, where you will also find a Police Station. A Post office is available at the nearby town of Kremasti, some 3 kilometers northeastern to Paradeissi.
