Resort Plimmiri

The resort is based on a tiny, original Greek farmhouse with an Orthodox church of Virgin Zoodochos Pigi ("Life-giving Spring"), a few outhouses and small fields around. The village is famous for its excellent fish tavern, which is right by the beach and next to the local church.

Plimmiri (sometimes also spelled Plimiri or Plimmyri) lies in a deserted area in the southeast of Rhodes, far from the touristy resorts of the north. And if a large and luxurious hotel resort hadn't sprung up here a few years ago, you probably wouldn't have found this village. Today, large directional signs point to it. If you drive from Lachania to the village of Kattavia, you will see a left turn towards the coast.

Coast and beach of Plimmiri

The resort of Plimmiri is situated in a small natural bay with large sand dunes, lush vegetation and a long stone pier that marks the beginning of the beach. Plimmiri Beach is sandy to sandy-pebbly and except for the part belonging to the large hotel, the beach is not organised.

For whom Plimiri is suitable

The resort of Plimiri is situated at the foot of the mountains that stretch across the interior of the island and it is indeed a very quiet, almost deserted area. If you spend your holiday at the hotel resort here, you will be perfectly looked after and will certainly have a wonderful time. However, you won't be able to go for many walks around the area or to the nearby centres. Beyond the gates of the hotel complex, there is only wild nature. Therefore, we would recommend the resort especially to those who want their holiday to be purely relaxing, hotel and beach.

Accommodation in Plimiri is also popular with surfers heading to the very south of the island, to Prasonisi Beach, which is not far from here and is definitely a good tip for a trip if you are staying in this area (the road through the village of Kattavia is about 20 km long). The local beaches of Agios Georgios (Saint George) and Mavros Kavos, beautiful romantic beaches with sand dunes and a slow entry into the sea, are also popular destinations.

Thus, renting a car is a must in the case of Plimiri. Although bus services are reliable and plentiful on Rhodes, you need to get to one of the larger resorts, at least to Gennadi (about 15 km north along the coast).
