Lothiarika Beach is about 1 km long, sandy to sandy-pebble beach (small pebbles cover mainly the entrance to the sea) with crystal clear water. The beach has also been awarded the Blue Flag for cleanliness several times. Lothiarika belongs to the organised beaches, with sunbeds and umbrellas available for visitors to rent, as well as plenty of excellent taverns, restaurants, cafes and bars. For a more relaxing beach holiday, visitors can also try one of the water sports on offer or go on a sightseeing cruise in a small boat.

Lothiarika Beach is located near one of Rhodes' most beautiful ancient towns, the archaeological site of Lindos, which has also secured a firm place on UNESCO's list of historical monuments. The distance from the beach to the bustling resort of Lindos is about 8 km and the area is really much quieter, which is why Lothiarika Beach sometimes serves as a kind of refuge from the crowded beaches of Lindos. Other nearby beaches such as Lardos, Makris Tichos or Pefki have a similar position.

The nearest village to Lothiarika Beach is Lardos, which lies about 3 km inland. In close proximity to the beach, a development of modern and rather smaller hotels, beautiful family villas and apartments has gradually grown up, but they blend in beautifully with the surrounding environment. The area is one of the most environmentally friendly regions on Rhodes and local organisations are trying to ensure that the lives of locals and tourists are as harmonious as possible with the local nature. For example, there is a bicycle rental service and during the main summer season there also are various environmental events aimed at involving children and young people in nature conservation (drawing competitions, beach cleanliness campaigns, etc.).
