Hotels near Kalithea Springs (Terme di Calitea)

The Kallithea Springs is one of the most architecturally striking landmarks on the island. This art deco thermal spa complex, built in the 1920s by Italian architect Pietro Lombardi, sits dramatically on the coast. The restored rotunda, colonnaded terraces, mosaic floors, and palm-lined gardens make it one of the most photogenic spots on Rhodes. Admission is EUR 3. The complex also hosts a small exhibition on the history of the springs and their therapeutic reputation, which dates back to antiquity.

Pro Tip: The small pebble beach beside the springs is excellent for swimming and far less crowded than Faliraki. Bring snorkelling gear - the rocky coastline here has some of the clearest water on the east coast.
