Attaviros mountain

 this    is  how  the rest of the    world look  from up  here...where  i  am?  i  am  in the  highest ground in  Rodos..This  is the mountain Attaviros . the mountain is 1240m  high..its  a  lot  for a small  island like  Rodos
 over   here    you   will  find ancient parts from a Zeus  temple.. which  blands in so perfectly  with the  sinery and  guess  what no  tourist  ever    comes   here

  you  all  know  that  the  symbol of  rodos  is a dear

  its  the only   place  were   for  sure   you  ll   see one living   free
 always  near the water in  summer  time..

its   called  platoni  dear and  there  are  a lot

suma ..pure greek alcohol

 yesterday   was   a  great  day  off  and  i  wanna   share  it    ...
In   greece   there  is  a  drink  called  suma which is  similar  to  ouzo but its more  pure  its made  mostly  from  grapes  but  other  fruits can be used  like figs ..
 its  really  simple to  make  your   own  but  you ll need   machinery  which  you  can  rent  if   you really   want  to  have  your  own..
  september here in   rodos  they  collect  the grapes  .. it  can   be  done   earlier  or  at the   end  of the  month..if it  rains  once ( its not so  often in rodos  during the summer)
it  will  be  a  great   gathering... Once the  grapes are   selected   they  put  them  in barels  and mixed  them  up  for 12  -15  days
the prositure  starts now  in octomber  were on  by  one the barrels  are opened  the grapes  are  hited and  then  what its   collected is   alcohol  vol 60- 40  its   really  high  so   the  usually   mixed  it   until  its  42 vol
  this    is   done   without  any prosthetics and  the  result its amazing

you  can  drink  a  lot  ...but  quess    what  you  ll never  get  a  headache ...
if  you   are    planning to  visit   rodos    go  to Empona    or  Siana   there is  where the magic is done!
