Every helping of food is served with a smile, Gennadi restaurants and bars are extremely friendly, as well as affordable. Its inviting ambience will tempt holidaymakers in to feast on octopus salads, fried zucchini and garlic soaked muscles.

Meanwhile Taverna Thalassa offers food with a view, the feta salads and sea bass are restaurant highlights. Hide away among the cobbles at Antika Cafe Bar, where a glass of Peloponnese Moschofilero, a white grape pinot grigio awaits. After all, Rhodes was once the biggest wine exporter.

Although pebbled, the beach in Gennadi has the clearest waters tempting you in for a swim. Its Blue Flag status makes it one of the cleanest stretches on the island, and the unspoilt scenery ensures sunbathing is an absolute pleasure. Relax with a beer in hand, as nearby you’ve got a collection of bars and restaurants at your disposal. And when you’re done sipping Pina Coladas, explore the colourful sea bed for unique marine life with a spot of snorkelling. For watersports, music and an upbeat atmosphere, Kiotari Beach is within easy reach. There’s also the Glystra sand spot, for those seeking soft sun-soaked grains of sand.

Although a quiet resort, Gennadi is close to the major attractions in Rhodes. Just 30 minutes from the Acropolis of Lindos and an hour to Rhodes Old Town, you’re in prime position to explore the entire island if you wish. That’s UNESCO-protected spots, Byzantine churches and boat rides to Turkey at your fingertips.

Dance at a beach party: Sunday nights in Gennadi are worth a mention, this is when the resort comes alive. Its famous beach parties see crowds of party-goers ready to dance the night away to top-quality DJ sets. Whether your jam is old-skool classics, 80s throwbacks or house anthems, you won’t stop moving. Your dancefloor is the sand, and the Sundance Beach Bar is where you’ll find the drinks. Experience it for yourself, this fun-filled beach extravaganza will have you up until the early hours and is one of the best clubbing spots on the island.

Discover Lindos: Delve deep into the historical past of Lindos, where each ruin has a story to tell and something fascinating to uncover. Although renowned for its hilltop acropolis, there’s more to its relics than meets the eye. There are spoils of ancient Greek and Roman temples, where you can wander through archaeological remains. This mesmerising landmark is protected by a medieval castle which was built in the 14th century by the Knights of St John, which is also worth visiting.
