Dive-site story
Set inside a sheltered cove beneath the historic thermal spa on Rhodes, Kallithea features sculpted limestone channels, small caverns, and open sandy channels. Natural skylights illuminate several shallow swim-throughs where marine life shelters during midday sun. Posidonia seagrass beds fringe the rocky outcrops, providing habitat for juvenile fish and invertebrates in calm, clear water.
