North-West Rhodes...
...from the coast to the magic of inland Rhodes.
There are many surprises awaiting the visitor to this part of
Rhodes. As you drop down towards
the south, in the Kalamonas area you can visit
the Valley of The Butterflies, the unique habitat of the butterfly Panaxia Quadripunctaria. Among
the ruins of Ancient Kamiros you can listen to the sounds of the troubled, but glorious, past of
the island. Changing mood, you can enjoy fresh fish and shellfish in one of the little tavernas
at Skala Kamirou, or try traditional appetisers at Embona, a large village famed for the quality
of its wine, in the shadow of Attavyros, the island's highest mountain.
From there, following an
enchanting route through a dense pine wood, you reach Profitis Ilias, with all embracing views
out to sea. It is also well worth visiting the folklore museums in the villages of Apollona and
Kritinia and calling in at Aghios Isidoros and Sianna, villages well known for the souma drink
and their herbs.
