Rhodes, as a popular tourist destination, owes its fame both to the atmosphere given to it by the glamor of its medieval city and to Lindos, which surprises as it appears as a small Cycladic island. However, away from the Northern Tourist Triangle of the island there is the other Rhodes that faces to the East, from Lindos to Prasonisi, a place with vast pebbled and sandy beaches, hidden bays, traditional villages with hospitable inhabitants, such as Lachania, Asklipieio, Messanagros, Apolakkia, Kattavia and finally the border island, Prasonisi, where wind and kite surfers meet. In the village of Lachania, in the small square, big plane trees, water from springs, a few tables, and an incredible peace and quiet. Right above stands the bell tower of the small and beautiful church of the village while the scenery is completed by the white doll houses all around with the blue doors and windows and carved stone gates. Flowers, flowers, bougainvillea, pomegranates, jasmine, smiles, carefreeness, wine, friends, feasts, music
love. The most beautiful village on the island, which has remained almost untouched by the ever-growing tourism, is built at the foot of a hill and offers panoramic views of a valley that ends in the sea. Most of the houses have been renovated with respect to the local architecture and with passion by their owners who are now foreigners, mainly German and Greek residents of the city of Rhodes. It is famous as the village of artists since its beauty has forever enslaved many painters, musicians, painters and craftsmen who with their attitude to life contribute to the special atmosphere of this unexpectedly enchanting place. The surrounding area is ideal for walking and cycling. The view of the sea is excellent while scattered you will find small monasteries of the 18th and 19th century with beautiful courtyards and deafening silence such as Zoodochos Pigi, Agia Irini, Agios Loukas and Agios Georgios.
