Tholos – Relaxed low-key Rhodes beach resort
Tholos is on the north-west coast of Rhodes, 5 miles from the resort of Kremasti, 12 miles from Rhodes Town and a convenient 4 miles from the airport. Tholos holidays offer visitors a relatively low-key and secluded beach resort combined with the charms of the original traditional hillside village of Theologos, less than a mile walk inland and set amid restful attractive scenery.
Tholos holidays – Simple Greek island pleasures
Tholos holidays appeal to those looking for a quieter Rhodes resort with low-key nightlife centred on a sprinkling of tavernas and bars. Tholos is a small resort dotted with accommodation, tavernas and local shops. Tholos holiday nightlife is much quieter than many Rhodes resorts with a selection of laid-back cafes, bars and tavernas and a single disco. Tholos beach is a quiet and uncrowded stretch of sand and pebbles with beach amenities and watersports on offer in season. The clear turquoise water is ideal for safe swimming and the cooling breeze found here makes windsurfing a popular Tholos holiday activity along with walking, horse riding and cycling in the surrounding countryside.
Holidays in Tholos – Must visit the old village of Theologos
A great place to visit while on holiday in Tholos is the old village of Theologos, beautifully placed on a hilltop and surrounded by rich agricultural land divided into small fields and olive groves. It is a fine example of a traditional Rhodian village with narrow lanes, tall shuttered buildings and a picturesque church. Take a look at the traditional way of life from the village taverna; an uncommercialised friendly and welcoming break from the resorts on the coast. Regular buses run along the coast to fascinating vibrant Rhodes Town, passing several more beach resorts like Trianda and Ixia on the way. Other favourite Tholos holiday excursions include the Valley of the Butterflies, ancient Ialyssos and Kamiros, Faliraki waterpark and unforgettable boat trips to the famously beautiful village of Lindos.
