Kattavia
Located at Rhodes' southern edge, Kattavia is affectionately known as “the last village.” Once a quiet farming hub named for local leader Kattavos, it now combines friendly village life with intriguing traces of its Italian past.
Colonia San Marco
Step into history at the old Italian-era school and church compound. Today, a cozy café and mini-museum display black-and-white photos and artifacts from as early as 1929—offering a window into Kattavia’s story.
Old Silk Factory
On the village outskirts, the brick-and-stone shell of the former silk-weaving factory recalls a time when Kattavia thrived on local craftsmanship. Its arched doors and weathered walls make for a striking photo stop.
Agios Georgios Bay
Drive beyond St. Marcus church to discover this quiet sand and pebble beach. With crystal-clear water, it’s perfect for a lazy morning and afternoon swim.
Pano Gialos Beach
On Kattavia’s western side, a scrub-fringed pebble beach dotted with old boat remains offers a wilder, more secluded spot to wade, explore and soak up the afternoon sun.
