Golden sand below the monastery

One of Rhodes’s few true golden-sand beaches (the island is mostly pebble), with shallow, warm water, below a steep ~300 m hill crowned by the monastery of Panagia Tsambika.

By tradition, childless women climb the ~300 steps barefoot to pray for a child, who by custom is then named Tsambikos/Tsambika. The beach is highly organised in summer, with watersports.
