Tsampika BEACH
26 Km from Rhodes town
The golden shore
One of the most
Beautiful beaches ,located before the village of
Archangelos
golden sand and dozens of
colorful
little flags marking out the various eating establishments.
Water sports are
available at the centre. Apart from these, and a mini-market next to the bus
station ,there is absolutely nothing else here-nothing except crowds of people
of all ages and nationalities, who come to swim in the emerald crystal-
clear water and admire the imposing rock with the Monastery of the Virgin of Tsampika, from which the beach has taken its name.

The Virgin of Tsampika is said
to work miracles and young women having difficulty in conceiving often
pray for her aid. If their prayers are answered, they name the child after
the Virgin.
The hilltop
monastery takes the name from the sparks which lit up the sky when an icon
from the church on CYPRUS miraculously materialized in Rhodes
