Pallas Beach

Pallas Beach is a sandy bay below Lindos village on Rhodes, with clear swimming water and views across the Mediterranean towards the Acropolis. It is smaller and often quieter than Lindos’s main beach, with sunbeds and umbrellas for rent, space to spread out on the sand, and tavernas close to the shore. A small dock is a departure point for boat trips. The route down from the village is steep, but the beach is a good choice for a relaxed swim or a slower day by the water.

The beach and its setting

Pallas Beach lies below Lindos village, in a sandy bay with views across the Mediterranean. It is smaller than Lindos’s main beach and is often a quieter place to swim or spend time on the sand. The Acropolis is visible from the beach, giving the bay a distinctive backdrop.

Sunbeds and umbrellas are available to rent, while visitors who prefer not to use them can find space on the sand. The beach has a cluster of tavernas close to the water, so you can stop for a meal or a drink without leaving the shore.

Swimming and getting around

The walk down from the village follows steep paved paths and steps. Allow for the descent when planning your visit, especially if you are carrying beach gear. Parking can become difficult later in the day, so an early arrival is useful if you are driving.

The water is clear, and the rocky edges of the bay are worth exploring if you want to swim beyond the sandy area. Water shoes can help on rocks that may be sharp or slippery. Take care near the rocks and caves, where it is easy to bump into the stone. A small dock by the beach is used for boat trips.
