As Rhodes and nearly all of its most popular tourist resorts have been already described let me to acquaint you with a new one, only now developing southwards from Lindos, along a beach.
There are different types of tourist resorts in Rhodes: those that have always been popular among tourists, since historical times. Those that grew up from fishing villages, and there are plenty of them, build at such a speed that it can really take your breath away even now. Such places more often than not do not beckon tourists with original stylish architecture, nor with that typical atmosphere of a lazy, southern resort.
Kiotari is yet another example. This place has been changing dramatically in previous years. Once a small fishing village in 2008 it is now an astonishingly fast developing tourist resort. Plan was to build hotels in a typical Greek style so that they would melt with the island’s architecture and restore it’s once cosy atmosphere damaged by commercial resorts not paying attention to aesthetical values. All the new hotels are be modern, beautifully decorated and furnished with taste. Equipped with every possible facility they also offer somethig for every pocket.
Though the village is far away from the capital of the island (about 60 km) as well away from Lindos ( 18 km) there is a good transport connection between the town and the rest of the island. Kiotari boasts one of the most beautiful beaches in Rhodes, also the widest one (in some places over 40m !)
