The Basics

Ladiko Bay is a small but well-maintained beach with essential amenities such as sunbeds, umbrellas, and a few local tavernas serving fresh seafood and refreshing drinks. The beach is family-friendly, with calm waters ideal for kids to play safely. It’s also a popular spot for divers and snorkelers due to its clear visibility and rocky seabed. Keep in mind that there are limited facilities, so it’s wise to bring your essentials, including water and sunscreen.

Things to Know Before You Go

Before heading to Ladiko Bay, it’s important to know that it can get busy during peak hours, especially in high season (July and August). Arriving early ensures you get a good spot. Parking is available but can be limited, so plan accordingly. Also, bring some cash as not all establishments accept credit cards. If you enjoy snorkeling, don’t forget your gear, as the underwater world here is fascinating.

How to Get There

Getting to Ladiko Bay from Rhodes Town is straightforward. By car, it’s a 20-minute drive following the main coastal road toward Faliraki. There is a small parking area near the beach. Alternatively, you can take a local bus from Rhodes Town to Faliraki and then walk or take a short taxi ride to the bay. Renting a car or scooter is the most convenient option if you plan to explore other nearby attractions.

When to Get There

The best time to visit Ladiko Bay is early in the morning or late in the afternoon when it’s less crowded, and the temperatures are more pleasant. For those seeking a quieter experience, visiting during the shoulder seasons (May, June, September, and October) is highly recommended. The water remains warm, and the beach is far less crowded.

Day Trips from Rhodes

Ladiko Bay is close to several must-visit sites, making it an excellent base for a day trip. Just a short drive away is Anthony Quinn Bay, another beautiful spot known for its picturesque setting and clear waters. You can also visit Faliraki, a lively resort town with a wide range of restaurants, shops, and entertainment. For a cultural touch, consider heading to the ancient acropolis of Lindos or the medieval Old Town of Rhodes, both within easy reach by car. Combining relaxation at Ladiko with exploration of nearby attractions makes for a perfect holiday experience.
