Rhodes, as a popular tourist destination, owes its fame both to the atmosphere given by the glamour of its medieval city and to Lindos, which surprises as it appears as a small Cycladic island. However, far from the Northern Tourist Triangle of the island there is the other Rhodes that faces the East, from Lindos to Prasonisi, a place with vast pebble and sandy beaches, hidden bays, traditional villages with hospitable residents, such as Lachania, Asklepieio, Mesanagros, Apolakkia, Kattavia and finally the border island, Prasonisi, where lovers of sea boarding and flying kites meet. In the village of Lachania, in the small square, centuries-old plane trees, four troughs that receive the icy gurgling 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 complemented by the white doll-like houses around with the blue doors and windows and the carved stone gates. Flowers, flowers, bougainvillea, pomegranates, jasmine, smiles, carefreeness, wine, friends, parties, music
love. The most beautiful village of 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 for the local architecture and with care 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 several 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 throughout you will find small monasteries of the 18th and 19th centuries with beautiful courtyards and deafening silence such as Zoodochos Pigi, Agia Irini, Agios Loukas and Agios Georgios.
