Gennadi Holidays

If your idea of a holiday is all about slowing the pace, Gennadi is a brilliant choice. Tucked away on Rhodes' unspoilt south-east coast, this traditional village swaps bustling promenades for peaceful beaches, family-run tavernas and an easy-going atmosphere that invites you to settle in from day one. At its heart, you'll find a pretty village square where locals gather over coffee, while narrow streets lined with whitewashed houses give the resort plenty of authentic Greek character. The beach stretches for miles, offering crystal-clear water and plenty of space to unwind, whether you're topping up your tan, cooling off with a swim or lingering over lunch at a laid-back beachfront taverna. 

Although Gennadi feels wonderfully tucked away, you're still well placed for exploring more of Rhodes. The whitewashed village of Lindos, with its ancient Acropolis and rooftop restaurants, is around 30 minutes away by car, while adventurous types can head south to Prasonisi, where the Aegean and Mediterranean meet in one of Europe's top windsurfing and kitesurfing spots. Back in Gennadi, though, life moves at a gentler rhythm. Long lunches, sunset strolls along the shore and evenings spent dining under the stars are all part of the experience, making this peaceful coastal village an ideal escape for couples, families and anyone looking to experience a more authentic side of Rhodes.
