Plimmiri is located on the southeastern coast of the island at a distance of about 76 km SW from Rhodes. To the northwest are Kattavia and Agios Pavlos, while to the north is Lachania. In the area there is the archeological site of the same name (divided into two zones) which includes:
– the fortified Hellenistic settlement and the necropolis on the hill of Plimmirio.
– the temple of Zoodochos Pigi and the early Christian settlement that stretches along the entire length of the beach.
– the archaic settlement and the ancient tombs preserved at the “Germatas” site.
Plimmiri is considered a place of significant ecological importance since it is a breeding ground for the sea turtle Caretta Caretta. It is a natural bay and the coastal zone of the beach (1,700 meters long and average width 25) is covered with sand and pebbles as well as its seabed.
In the area around the coast there are scattered houses while the land is covered by reedbeds, sand dunes, meadows, agricultural lands with significant percentages of natural vegetation as well as non-irrigated arable lands.
To its northeast there is a shelter for fishing boats.
