Located at the southern tip of Rhodes, Prasonisi Beach is a rare natural wonder where the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas meet, creating two distinct coastlines on either side of a sandy isthmus. Depending on the season and sea levels, the sandbar may connect or separate the mainland from the small Prasonisi Peninsula.
What makes this beach truly unique is its perfect wind conditions, attracting windsurfers and kitesurfers from around the world. The Aegean side is typically windier and wavier — ideal for adrenaline seekers — while the Mediterranean side offers calmer waters for swimming and sunbathing.
There are no large resorts, giving it a more untouched, natural vibe. However, nearby rental shops, cafés, and accommodation options cater to active travelers and nature lovers.
Best time to visit: Summer months (June to early October) offer the most reliable winds for water sports and the full beach layout.
Getting there: It takes about 1.5 to 2 hours by car from Rhodes Town. Driving is the easiest and most flexible option.
Travel tip: If you're not into water sports, early morning or late afternoon visits provide a quieter, cooler atmosphere for relaxing and taking in the unique scenery.
Prasonisi is more than a beach — it’s a rare natural meeting point of elements, offering a dramatic backdrop for adventure, photography, and unforgettable sunsets.
