The Property — Med Blu Kremasti
Med Blu Kremasti is a straightforward, clean, sea-facing three-star on the west coast of Rhodes, just south of the airport. Its main draw is the long, sandy stretch of Kremasti Beach right across the road, and its simple, whitewashed rooms with blue accents give it a functional, no-fuss summer-holiday feel. The lobby is small, tiled, and smells faintly of sun cream and chlorine – more a handover point for keys and beach towels than a lounge-around space. It suits families and couples who want affordable beach access and don't need on-site pools or entertainment.
Chronicles of Rodos
Kremasti village grew around a 16th-century Genoese castle (the Castello di Kremasti), built to defend the coast from pirates. Its name comes from the Greek word for 'hanging' – likely referring to vines or the castle’s precarious cliff position. The modern resort expanded rapidly from the 1970s as charter flights landed at nearby Diagoras Airport, transforming a farming hamlet into a functional beach strip. Today, Kremasti retains a low-key local feel with a handful of tavernas and a working harbour, but it’s far quieter than Rhodes Town or Faliraki. The village's identity is caught between working fishing boats and rows of sun loungers.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
June and September: long, dry days with daily highs of 28-30°C (June) or 27-29°C (September), low humidity, and crowds present but tolerable. Sea water is warm (23-25°C) and the meltemi wind keeps things fresh.
Peak / festival surge
July–August are peak: temperatures hit 33-35°C, schools out across Europe, and Rhodes Town, Lindos, and Faliraki are jammed. Hotels like Med Blu charge full summer rates (around €80-120/night for a double). The big driver is the Rhodes International Sailing Week (mid-August) and general summer mass tourism.
Budget shoulder season
Late May (26-28°C) and early October (24-26°C) are the best budget windows: room rates drop 30-50% (€50-70/night), beaches are quieter, and you can still swim comfortably. May has more rain (3-4 days/month) but plenty of sun.
Weather & packing
Rhodes gets a sudden, strong meltemi wind in July and August – it can whip up sand and cool evenings fast. Pack a lightweight windbreaker or long-sleeved cardigan for evening beach walks, plus solid sandals that won’t blow off.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- Diagoras Airport (RHO) runway upgrades continue through summer 2026 – expect occasional flight delays, especially during afternoon meltemi gusts.
- Kremasti beach has been awarded Blue Flag status again for 2026, meaning lifeguards and basic facilities are in place from mid-May.
- The new coastal footpath from Kremasti to Ialysos is now fully paved, giving a flat 4km walk along the shore for early morning or sunset strolls – no road traffic.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Med Blu Kremasti, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (3rd or 4th) facing the inner courtyard or the quieter side street, away from the main road. These rooms get more natural light and less street noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground floor rooms—they can be noisier from lobby traffic and have less privacy. Also steer clear of rooms directly above the small reception area or near the lift shaft, as you'll hear clatter and conversation.
Best views
Ask for a high-floor room with a balcony facing the rear courtyard or the side alley (off the main road). You'll get a slice of the neighbourhood without the traffic rumble. If you want a sea glimpse, request a front-facing upper room, but brace for more noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4. The hotel appears to be 4 storeys high, so top floors are furthest from street-level noise.
🔊 Noise notes
This is a 3-star hotel on a main road in Kremasti—expect motorbike and bus noise, especially during day and early evening. The small lobby and single lift mean occasional guest chatter and lift mechanics can be heard if you're next to them.
Insider tips
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor with a courtyard view when booking. If arriving by car, ask reception about free street parking on the side street rather than the main road. Check-in can be slow at peak hours, so arrive after 14:00 to avoid queueing.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
