Prasonisi, place which you WONT fell in LOVE with for the FIRST TIME

Prasonisi located on the island of Rhodes and is the most southern point of the island. It is about 90 km from the city of Rhodes and the nearest larger town of Lindos is about 40 km away.

When you arrive (moor) on the island, so you are welcome by sandy coast, bars, hotels and various shops. A paradise for those who like a typical vacation that does not involve anything more than relax on a sun lounger by the pool and from time to time to bathe in the sea and in the evening, head to one of the many taverns in and try a typical Greek specialties. Alternatively, go to have fun in a bar, where they party until the early hours.

However, if you are among those that have the "typical" tired of vacation, and you do not mind "a little bit" of wind, so you should definitely visit peninsula Prasonisi.

Vacation on Prasonisi you can spend either in apartments, caravan (flat car), or in a tent. As way of accommodation suggests, it's definitely not a holiday for those who want to spend their leisure time at the pool and sip a drink at the bar.

When you will get closer to the peninsula along the main approach road and the large hotel resorts will start becoming smaller apartments and bars and shops begin to dissapear  and vice versa wind begins to add. This is a sign that you are approaching Prasonisi. After about an hour and a half away from Rhodes arrive at the village of Katavia, and in the beginning you will see Prasonisi indicator, turn left and you will experience 10km, during which time asking yourself "Where do I go to hell?" As for the 10 km you meet no more than a chapel and a small fruit stand. But when you finally reach almost to the end of the road, so you spread a unique, breathtaking view of the peninsula Prasonisi, which is connected to the mainland by a sandy beach, which is lined on two sides sea. The west side the Mediterranean Sea and the east side Aegean Sea.

 The Prasonisi you can watch from different angles. Be a tourist who arrives there for a day, or as a kiter / surfer who goes there for wind or other variant of it as a person who is not there as a tourist, but it is not an enthusiast kitesurfing or windsurfing. It is the person who got there somehow by accident.

When I first time got there, I had the opportunity to see the reaction of all three groups of tourists after kitesurfer. And I myself was also the one who got there somehow by accident. And believe it or not, but when I saw the first Prasonisi so my first thought was definitely not a "wow, that's great." Rather, the questions went through my head, "And here I like to spend three weeks? Is crazy? What do I do here? 'Cause when I passed the "center" so I only saw 2 surfmarkets, 2 restaurants and about 3 apartments. The scary concept for most people who like to walk by the sea along the waterfront and all around them is full of bars and restaurants.

On the other side team "kiters" was thrilled. Strong, steady winds, wide beach and two spots in one. On one side of the wave on the other beautifully smooth water. In addition, if you choose to spend your stay in a camper, so no hitting cops here. Just great :)).

I had two options. Just condemn this place or look at it from another perspective. After two days, when  I took place from the perspective of classical tourist who likes a quiet beach, bars and walks along the promenade, I began to understand what I had seen and normal tourist seldom sees.

Even when you wake up and get out of the tent, caravan or apartment so you can see the positive and relaxed atmosphere all around you.

About beautiful sunsets not mention.


If you like fun,  hang out with friends, or meeting new people and you will like it there because of meeting new people there really is not an emergency.

For those who do not surf and kite: Start to do it or pretend that those sports you understand :).

And then you definitely will not miss any party. Though not every night, but from time to time it happens that some surf / kite school any such party in the open air and hold it then it is worth it.

(The following morning with a hangover is already worse :)) ).

Someone  during stay  realizes that  for enjoying summer by the sea, really needs just a little. All you have to do is stop waiting for the best and you will get experience a summer full of experiences and moments that you will remember for a lifetime.
