  After a two-day exploration, it's time for beach hours. Rhodes offers too many beaches with stunning scenery, from sandy to pebble. Families with young children can spend time at sandy Tsambika Beach, with shallow water, a variety of tavernas, refreshment stands, and umbrellas. Others would prefer Kallithea Beach to relax on a sunbed, snorkel around the rocky headland, and swim in a picturesque sheltered cove.
