prasonisi rodos

Prasonisi is the Greek word for "green island".

 During summer time, and when water levels are low  this island is a peninsula attached to Rhodes. During the winter time, and when water levels are high enough,it  becomes an island.

The southernmost tip of it contains a  beautiful lighthouse.
 The closest rodian village is  Kattavia  if you are  planning a  visit!

 Prasonisi is noted to be a good place for windsurfing and kitesurfing due to predictable and reliable winds with certain qualities (not gusty, constant direction and during particular times of the day). From one side of the cape there is the Aegean sea with good waves and views for advanced surfers. From the other side, there is the Mediteranian sea with flat water which is better suited for beginners. The area has its high season for tourists in July and August and the flat side of the water becomes very busy.

 The protected turtle known as caretta carettaused to hide its eggs at the specific region but this rarely happens anymore due to the lack of environmental management of the territory

 there is a purpose-built settlement on Prasonisi that contains motels, convenience stores, restaurants, and windsurf rentals which are open seasonally
