Embonas
Rhodes: This picturesque village
is the highest village of Rhodes,
south of the capital of the island,
at an altitude of 850 metres. The
high location of the village has
kept it almost untouched by tourism
and completely unspoiled; some of
its inhabitants still wear local
costumes and all are keeping the
local customs and tradition, passing
from a generation to another.
Fine multi-coloured embroideries
are produced in Embonas and are
part of the village’s traditions.
Almost all the houses of the village
are excellent examples of the traditional
architecture of Rhodes and are kept
in good condition.
A few rooms for rent can be found
in the picturesque Embonas, as well
as traditional cafes and taverns
serving some mouth-watering specialities.
