Ammoudes Beach - Kallithea, Rhodes, Greece

Rhodes’ east coast faces the sunrise, so here the sun comes up straight out of the Aegean.

A short way up the coast are the Kallithea Springs. People have bathed in the water there since at least the 7th century BC. In 1929, while Italy ruled the island, architect Pietro Lombardi built a spa on the spot, with white domes, colonnades and pebble mosaics.

The spa closed in 1967, but Hollywood found it first, and you can spot it in The Guns of Navarone and Escape to Athena. It has since been restored, and visitors can walk through it again.

Did You Know? Italy held Rhodes from 1912 to 1943. That’s why a Greek island has an Art Deco spa and Italian-style buildings.
