Holy Monastery of the Virgin Mary Tsambika (Kyra Psili)

"The walk, or should I say hike up to the monastery is certainly worth every breath once you get up there. Yeah, you might be a little sozzled if you do this in the midday heat but I promise you it’s worth it! Just make sure to pack lots of water and sunblock. The tiny Byzantine church is totally gorgeous to see and one of the best things to do in Rhodes. Best of all, you can reward yourself with a refreshing dip in the nearby Tsambika beach when you’re done."

"Towering high above the beautiful Tsambika beach, the monastery provides its visitors with stunning panoramic views of Rhodes and the deep blue of the Mediterranean. If you are willing to ascend the 300 steps you will be rewarded with picture perfect views."
