Overview

Plimiri is a kitesurfing spot at the extreme south of Rhodes, a few kilometers east of Prasonisi. This small fishing village offers a wild and authentic setting with a sand and pebble beach facing south. In strong Meltemi, the NW wind wraps around the island tip and creates cross-shore to side-onshore conditions. Plimiri is a less crowded alternative to Prasonisi, ideal for riders seeking tranquility in southern Rhodes.

On the water

Southern Rhodes waters between Aegean and Mediterranean, 23-27°C in summer. 2mm shorty or lycra. Sand/pebble bottom. Moderate chop to waves depending on wind strength. Current possible near the south tip.

Parking

Small parking near Plimiri village. Decent access road from the south coast road. A few tavernas in the village. Car essential — about 1h30 from Rhodes Town.

Wind specificities

Plimiri receives the NW Meltemi after it wraps around the southern tip of Rhodes. Wind arrives mainly from NW/W, cross-shore to side-onshore on this south coast. When the Meltemi is strong to very strong (25+ knots), the wind wraps effectively and Plimiri offers solid conditions of 15-22 knots. In light to moderate Meltemi, the spot can lack wind. Works best in midsummer (July-August) when the Meltemi is at its peak.

Hazards

Potentially strong current near the south tip of Rhodes. Isolated spot — sail with a partner. Wind can be gusty (island wrap-around). Rocky bottom in some areas. Strong sun exposure. Little rescue nearby.
