Afandou Beach, Shingle beach on Rhodes, Greece
Afandou Beach is a shingle and sand shoreline on Rhodes' eastern coast that stretches for about 2.5 kilometers with gently deepening waters. The wide beach has designated areas for water sports, umbrella rentals, and changing facilities distributed along its length.
The beach developed alongside the traditional village of Afandou, which has roots in early settlements on Rhodes dating back centuries. The connection between village and shore remained largely unchanged, allowing both to grow at a natural pace.
Local tavernas along the shore serve fresh seafood and traditional Greek meals, where you can sit and watch both the water and the daily rhythm of the neighboring village.
The beach is easy to reach and offers amenities such as umbrella rentals and changing facilities distributed along its entire length. Its wide expanse means you can find quieter spots away from areas where water sports are most active.
A golf course designed in the 1970s sits directly behind the beach, creating an unusual pairing of seaside relaxation and sporting play. This blend of water and sport makes the location distinctive for visitors seeking both beach time and fairway time.
