Gennadi Sea Traditional House is located at the entrance of the charming village of Gennadi, in the south-eastern part of Rhodes. What makes this location so special is the perfect combination of authentic village life and the beautiful beach, which is only a ten-minute walk away.
Gennadi has preserved its traditional Greek character and offers a peaceful atmosphere, away from the crowds, while providing everything you need within walking distance. You’ll find traditional tavernas, cafés, restaurants, local shops, a bakery, pharmacy, ATM, medical centre, and the village square, where locals and visitors come together to enjoy the relaxed rhythm of everyday life.
Strolling through the narrow, stone-paved streets is one of the best ways to experience the village. You’ll discover charming traditional houses with flower-filled courtyards, visit the beautiful Church of Saint John with its impressive bell tower and traditional pebble mosaic courtyard, or follow the picturesque walking path through citrus and pomegranate groves to a natural spring and the peaceful Byzantine Church of Saint Anastasia, surrounded by majestic cypress trees.
For me, Gennadi is much more than a holiday destination—it’s part of my family’s history. My grandparents owned this house, and I spent many of my childhood summers here. Some of my happiest memories are playing in the garden and courtyard, exploring the quiet neighborhood, and swimming in the crystal-clear sea. Even today, whenever I have some free time, I return to Gennadi to enjoy its peaceful atmosphere and beautiful beach.
Gennadi is also an excellent base for exploring southern Rhodes. The famous village of Lindos is only 20 km away, while Prasonisi, one of Europe’s best-known windsurfing and kitesurfing destinations, is just 17 km away.
I hope you’ll enjoy Gennadi as much as my family and I have for generations.
