Glystra Beach

Glystra is a compact sandy bay with an easy-looking entry and seasonal organisation, best approached early because parking and shore space are limited.

Our take

A smaller sandy stop on Rhodes's southeast coast

Glystra lies between the larger resort zones of Lardos and Kiotari. Low rock arms frame a pocket of sand, creating a more intimate beach day than the long hotel-backed shores nearby.

Recent storms and coastal works can alter the amount of usable sand, so judge the beach as you find it rather than relying on old photographs. Park only in signed areas, leave access clear for emergency vehicles and watch for rock underfoot at both ends.

Good to know

Small bay, Sandy beach, Limited parking, and Southeast Rhodes
