Greece is a very safe country, and Kiotari is a calm, family-friendly resort where visitors feel comfortable and relaxed. Crime is low, and the laid-back atmosphere adds to the sense of ease. Use normal precautions with valuables, and take care on the beach, where the seabed can drop quickly and parts are rocky, so swim shoes help. Summer sun is strong, so stay hydrated and protected.
Kiotari is a fairly flat, modern resort, so the coastal strip and beachfront areas are reasonably manageable for strollers and wheelchairs, though the beach itself has pebbly, sometimes rocky patches, and swim shoes are recommended. The resort is spread out along the road, so a car or taxi is useful for reaching shops, tavernas and nearby sights, especially the hilltop village of Lindos.
Tipping is appreciated but not obligatory in Greece. In tavernas and restaurants, it is common to round up the bill or leave around 5 to 10 percent for good service. Small tips for hotel staff, drivers and helpful locals are also welcome. Leaving a little cash, even when paying by card, is the easiest way to tip and is always a kind gesture.
Kiotari is all about relaxing on its long Blue Flag beach, swimming in clear waters and trying water sports like jet skiing and windsurfing. Visit the historic Metamorphosis Sotiros church, then take an easy trip to the iconic hilltop village of Lindos with its ancient Acropolis. Explore nearby beaches, the southern tip at Prassonisi, and charming inland villages like Asklipio.
Greece uses the euro (EUR). In Kiotari, cards are accepted at most hotels, restaurants and larger shops, but it is handy to carry some cash for small tavernas, beach kiosks, local markets and tips. You will find ATMs and mini markets along the resort's coastal road. Having a mix of cash and card ensures you are covered wherever you go on the island.
The official language is Greek. In Kiotari and across Rhodes, a well-loved holiday island, English is widely spoken in hotels, restaurants and shops that welcome visitors, so communicating is easy. Learning a few Greek words is warmly appreciated by locals and adds a friendly, personal touch to your trip.
Greek cuisine is fresh and satisfying. In Kiotari's tavernas, try souvlaki and gyros, grilled meats, plus moussaka, a baked layered dish, and fresh Greek salad with feta. Sample seafood straight from the Aegean, creamy tzatziki and warm pita bread. On Rhodes, look for local specialties and honey-sweet desserts like baklava, paired with local wine or a glass of ouzo.
Late spring and early autumn, roughly May to June and September to October, are the best times to visit Kiotari, with warm, sunny weather, calm seas and fewer crowds, ideal for the beach and exploring. July and August are hot and the busiest, perfect for sun seekers. Many resorts and businesses wind down in winter, so the main season runs spring through autumn.

So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.
