Pastida is a calm village with a tranquil atmosphere, an ideal destination to escape from the noisy crowds. With a small population, Pastida has restaurants and traditional taverns serving homemade dishes. Although it is easily accessible from the town of Rhodes and various beach resorts, it remains a peaceful destination. You will also find some nice accommodation options in the area.

The village is ideal for a short trip where you can wander the paved streets and the close nature, or for calm alternative holidays on the island. As it does not lie directly by the sea it does not have a beach. Visitors, therefore, tend to visit the nearby beaches of Kremasti and Ialyssos. There are local buses connecting Pastida to Rhodes Town and other surrounding places.
