The settlement of Kremasti is situated at a distance of 12 kilometres southwestern to the capital town of Rhodes, at the northwestern coast of the island. This is a beautiful resort village, nicely combining the modern tourist area with the traditional Rhodian village.
The place is very popular and receives numerous visitors, partly thanks to its vicinity to the international airport of the island, situated at a distance of less than 3 kilometers far away, and to the vicinity to the Valley of Butterflies.
It is worth seeing the ruins of the Medieval Castle overlooking the area, dated in the Knights’ period, with the church of Aghios Nicolaos inside it. Don’t miss to visit the impressive church of Panaghia Kremasti, dedicated to Virgin Mary, with the large courtyard floor made of pebbles and the huge cypress trees.
