Elli Beach

Located at the northern tip of Rhodes, Elli Beach is a vibrant and cosmopolitan destination, offering the perfect seaside escape for both locals and visitors alike.

A Spacious and Well-Organized Beach

Stretching from the famous casino to the Rhodes Aquarium (Enidrio), Elli Beach is an expansive sandy coastline consisting of multiple sections, each often named after the hotel or bar in front of it. Due to its proximity to the aquarium, locals sometimes refer to it simply as "Enidrio Beach."

Lining the bustling city of Rhodes, this well-equipped beach provides all the amenities necessary for a comfortable and enjoyable seaside experience.

The Heart of Rhodes’ Beach Scene

The section of the beach to the right of the aquarium is known as Elli Beach, the city’s main beach, boasting extensive facilities and a well-developed tourism infrastructure. Spanning 400 meters in length and 35 meters in width, this beach offers visitors the opportunity to soak up the sun and swim in the typically calm, crystal-clear waters. Its prime location, just a 5–10 minute walk from the city center, the Medieval Town of Rhodes, and the main harbor, makes it an easily accessible retreat.

At Elli Beach, visitors will find everything they need for a day by the sea — umbrellas, sun loungers, water sports facilities, and convenient snack bars. Numerous restaurants and tavernas serve both local and international cuisine, while nearby hotels, apartments, shops, bars, and cafés provide endless options for relaxation and refreshment.

A Beach of Timeless Beauty

Many consider Elli Beach one of the most beautiful in the Mediterranean. The renowned British writer Lawrence Durrell once described it as the most stunning beach in the region, a reputation that persists today. Its scenic beauty, combined with its accessibility and excellent facilities, makes it a favorite among photographers, whose images of the beach often appear on postcards and travel brochures.

Remarkably, Elli Beach has retained its cosmopolitan charm from the 1970s, maintaining its status as a stylish and sought-after destination.

Activities and Attractions

Beach volleyball courts near the aquarium add a sporty touch to the area, while a diving platform in the sea invites thrill-seekers to take the plunge from a height.

For those who prefer a leisurely stroll, the promenade along the beachfront offers breathtaking sea views, with the dazzling sand and colorful beach umbrellas creating a picturesque scene under the radiant sun.
