The village of Fanes is along the west coast road of Rhodes, just after the village of Soroni. It features a picturesque harbor and a long flat beach with tamarisk (salt cedar) trees for shade. Windsurfing & kite-surfing are hugely popular here. Located about 30km from Rhodes city and 13 km southwest of Rhodes airport, Fanes is also known as the village of colours, where the local artist Lukas has created his art work which can be seen all around. It is a true inspiration to walk through.
