Overview

Soroni Beach is a kitesurfing spot on the west coast of Rhodes, between Theologos and Kalavarda. This long, open beach benefits from the NW/W Meltemi side-onshore. Soroni offers a less touristy setting than spots in the north of the island, with a more authentic atmosphere. Soroni village is known for its annual festival (Souma feast) and uncrowded beaches. The spot suits intermediate riders seeking west coast conditions in a quiet environment.
