Rhodes Gennadi

General information

Located 61 kilometers south of Rhodes Town, Gennadi is a small settlement with narrow alleys and whitewashed traditional houses. Its defining characteristic is the high outer walls that enclose the old houses, a feature that used to afford protection from pirate raids. Being quite close to Prassonisi, it is a great base for windsurfing enthusiasts.

Gennadi also stands out for the lovely Gennadi Beach, while the wider area boasts some of the most pristine beaches on the entire island. Along the seafront, visitors will find nice taverns and cafes, as well as small hotels, apartments and villas. Moreover, there are various local shops with great souvenirs and handmade objects of folklore art.

Wandering around the village, one can see the magnificent Byzantine churches of Agios Georgios, Agios Ioannis the Theologian, and Agia Anastasia, where it is still possible to see the built-in materials from the previous early Christian churches they replaced. If you enjoy being out in the open, you can also visit the old oil mill and the nearby forest, or hike along the Mala Gorge, with its small yet magnificent waterfalls. A walk to the Skolonitis reservoir and the Gennadi Dam with its small lakes is another refreshing experience that will allow you to unwind and reconnect with nature.
