GENERAL INFORMATION |
 |
| |
Kalithies is a coastal village, which is being inhabited since antiquity and a well known family vacation resort. During the period of the great flourish of Rhodes, Kalithies used to be one of the biggest and most important shipyards of the whole Mediterranean Sea. It is located 19 kilometres south of the capital of the island, also within a small distance from the famous summer resort of Faliraki.
In the area you will be able to visit the imposing acropolis of Sarantapihos and Erimokastro. Erimokastro is a big wall built in a high spot, from which no building have been preserved and that’s where its name comes from (“erimokastro” means “deserted castle” in Greek). There is yet another smaller ancient wall in the nearby village of Miniko, but not much has been saved from this one either. Some Neolithic findings have been discovered in the cave of Kalamonia, which is well worth a visit as well.
In the surrounding area of Kalithies there are lots of churches and monasteries. The most interesting of those is probably the monastery of Agia Elelousa and the church of Agios Georgios with their exquisite frescos. In the monastery of Agia Eleousa in particular, the frescos are dating back to the 17th century. |
