Afandou Beach

The Longest Stretch of Rhodes

Rhodes' Endless Shore

Afandou Beach (known also as Traounou Beach), located on the eastern coast of Rhodes, is renowned for its impressive length, making it one of the longest beaches on the island. This vast expanse of shoreline, characterized by smooth pebbles and clear, deep waters, offers ample space for visitors to spread out and enjoy the serene atmosphere. The beach's natural beauty, combined with its relative lack of intense commercial development, provides a tranquil escape from the bustling tourist areas.


A unique feature of Afandou Beach is its proximity to the Afandou Golf Course, a well-known 18-hole course. This combination of golfing and beach relaxation makes Afandou a distinctive destination, appealing to both sports enthusiasts and those seeking a peaceful seaside experience. The deep waters and pebbled terrain make it less ideal for young children, but perfect for adults who enjoy swimming and snorkeling.


While Afandou Beach offers basic amenities like sunbeds and umbrellas for rent, it maintains a more natural and less crowded ambiance. Several tavernas and cafes are scattered along the shoreline, providing refreshments and traditional Greek cuisine. The blend of natural beauty, ample space, and the unique golf course proximity makes Afandou Beach a compelling destination for those seeking a relaxing and distinctive Rhodes experience.
