Learn about the Lighthouse Kiotari

From our family to yours

The Lighthouse Kiotari began in 1992 with a simple idea, to share a beautiful stretch of Rhodes coastline with people who would appreciate it.

What started as a small, family-run seaside spot has grown into one of South Rhodes’ most loved beachfront destinations. Through every season, every summer sunset and every celebration, one thing has remained the same, it has always been run with heart.

From the beginning, the family behind The Lighthouse believed that hospitality is not just about food and drinks. It is about how people feel when they arrive. Relaxed. Welcome. At home.

From a Dream to a Destination.

What started as a modest beachfront escape has evolved into one of Southern Rhodes’ most beloved landmarks. Founded by the family, The Lighthouse was built on the values of authenticity, quality, and a deep respect for our local landscape.

While the island has changed around us, our commitment to providing a private, soulful experience remains exactly as it was on our first day in 1992.

We now hold some of the most beautiful wedding ceremonies n Rhodes Greece and have built a stunning venue for you and your guests to share and treasure forever.

The Heart of the Venue

We believe that the best memories are made around a table or with sand between your toes. Whether you are visiting us for a quiet morning coffee under the palms, a sunset dinner of fresh-caught seafood, or the most important day of your life, you are part of our story.

As a family-run business, we don’t just provide a venue; we provide a home. Our team is an extension of our family, dedicated to ensuring every guest feels the true “Filoxenia”—the ancient Greek art of making a stranger feel like a friend.
