Kiotari is in the south of Rhodes and became popular when new hotels in the resort sprung up. Kiotari does not have an actual resort shopping area it is made up of large all inclusive hotels situated on the beach, ideal for those looking for an all inclusive holiday and are not looking for anything out side of the hotel they are staying in.
All though there are a great deal of water sports on offer these are not included as they a run privately. If you are staying in Kiotari it might be worth while hiring a car for the day to explore the real Rhodes island as it has so much to offer.
