Overview
This day trip is the ultimate experience for those who want to live a traditional Greek experience on the island of Rhodes.
During our trip we will visit 3 destinations.
1) Apollona village
Apollona village of Rhodes is located on the southeastern side of the hill of Prophet Elias, only 50km from the capital of the island, the homonymous Rhodes and very close to the highest mountain of the island Attavyros!
In an evergreen area surrounded by wild pines, cypresses and the local olive groves that give unique olive oil every year, Apollona emerges with an area of about 71 square kilometers, an altitude of 330 meters and a total population of 1005 inhabitants.
According to the most prevalent interpretation, the name of the village seems to come from the ancient greek god Apollon.
There we will visit the traditional cafe “Stou Plastira“. Apart from a traditional cafe, this place is also a museum and belongs to the historical cafes of Greece.
There you can enjoy a Greek coffee or a Frappe-Greek iced coffee (coffee & table water – INCLUDED in the price) and admire the exhibits that exist in this unique building. (There is no entrance fee).
2) Village of Embonas
Embonas may not have any picturesque architectural features. However, it is one of the most popular suggestions for a trip inland in Rhodes that combines folklore, a lively atmosphere and good food.
Embonas is a village full of life all year round with several tavernas serving people who come here from all over the island to taste the delicious local meat. It is the most important grape-producing village on Rhodes, and produces some of the best wines on the island.
