🏖️ Beach Club Experience

Tambakio also functions as a beach club, offering various options for relaxation by the water:

1. Cabanas: Available for approximately €60 for the day, these offer a very comfy and mostly shaded spot. They are highly recommended for those looking for a luxurious beach day.
2. Sunbeds: Priced at around €20 for a single sunbed and €40 for two sunbeds per day. While many find this to be great value considering the prime location and perfect swimming conditions, one review mentioned that the €40 for two sunbeds did not include towels or a water bottle, leading to a feeling that they weren't entirely worth it. Getting there early is advisable to secure a spot.

Feedback on the staff at Tambakio is generally positive, though with some mixed experiences. Many guests found the staff to be "very helpful and friendly," with particular appreciation for the individual managing the sunbeds, who was described as "so kind and helpful" and "really cheerful." However, one reviewer noted a less welcoming experience, specifically mentioning feeling that staff were "thirsty for money" and requested immediate payment for food served to sunbeds, which detracted from their enjoyment.

💰 Value and Recommendation

Considering the prime location and high-quality food, many visitors found the pricing to be reasonable. For instance, a meal for two including main courses, fries, dessert, and two cokes cost around €58, which was deemed fair for the location. Overall, Tambakio comes with strong recommendations for those visiting Lindos, especially for its views and excellent food. It's a place to experience "paradise on earth" and enjoy a perfect day by the sea.

We came here for my girlfriend's birthday and it certainly didn't disappoint!I requested a candle to be put into her dessert, which they were happy to help with and the manager plus waiting staff came over to wish her a happy birthday.The food was excellent, I had the Tuna Steak which was incredibly fresh and the accompanying vegetables had been excellently prepared.

To be honest, worth the hype!!Stunning location, great service, and food was excellent!In particular I’d recommend the tuna steak.What I thought had no flavor was the Greek salad… despite this,the whole experience has been very good.(For the people complain about the price If you go to a restaurant in a unique location thinking it’s gonna be cheap it’s your problem…sorry!🤣)

I first visited Rhodes in 2014 and loved it. Me and my wife fell in love with Tambakio. I proposed to my wife in 2016 here. It’s the only restaurant within St Paul’s Bay and the staff hardly change. I’ve had several meals here, countless cocktails, the service has never faltered. The food has never been shy of perfect. The price is spot on. Smiley staff, great vibe, the best food in Lindos, the best views in Lindos. We absolutely adore this place.

The most amazing place with the most amazing staff. From the beach to the restaurant, this became my favourite place on the island! My friend and I tried half of the food and drinks on the menu and everything exceeded expectations, it was delicious and the views were stunning. A big part of our experience here was how friendly and lovely the staff were; we love everything about this place, and can’t wait to come back next year.

The best food I have truly ever eaten!! You definitely get your moneys worth and the view was gorgeous
