✓ Manually calibrated shoreline

The orientation of the shore and the shelter of the bay were checked one by one on the map for every beach — they are not derived automatically.

Tsampika is one of the most famous beaches on Rhodes, with golden sand and shallow waters that make it ideal for families. It lies beneath the monastery of Panagia, in a bay with partial natural protection. The sea view is southeast, and the beach is organized with umbrellas and sunbeds.

Wind & waves: when to go

Real shoreline from OpenStreetMap at a fixed scale so the diagrams are comparable with one another — the dot marks the beach.

The beach faces east. With westerly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with easterly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The shape of the coastline offers partial shelter, cutting down part of the swell.
