Eco-Tour on the Island of Rodos
TRANSPORT
It is possible to get to Rodos either by air or by sea. The local airport
“Diagoras” which is 16 km off the capital handles not only domestic but
also international flights. Ferries and other sea boats provide the neces-
sary communication with the mainland and other neighbouring islands.
There is also a good public bus system on the island. Municipal RODA
buses serve the capital and its suburbs. KTEL buses serve remote set-
tlements and Western coast resorts.
Bus tickets can vary depending on the distance from € 1 or € 2 and
higher.
ENTERTAINMENT
The cosmopolitan and international atmosphere of the island provides
numerous possibilities to spend an enjoyable time on the island. Bars,
restaurants, clubs, discos and other entertainment centers are open
for you days and nights suggesting not only modern parties but also
traditional music and dances.
Besides, there is a big choice of different sport activities, such as tennis,
golf, diving, etc. If you wish you can also visit local cinemas or casino.
CUISINE
Generally speaking local cuisine is another sample of the well-known
Mediterranean cuisine. But, as it usually is, there are dishes characteris-
tic only for this very place. Take, for example, “pitaroudia” («πιταρούδια»)
that look like meat-balls with the only difference that “”pitaroudia
are made from chickpea. It you wish you can also try “kapamas”
(«καπαμάς»), goat cooked in the oven with beans or chickpeas. “Sala-
mogia” («σαλαμόγια»), in fact, is traditional myzithra cheese in brine
with peppercorns. For desert you may order local sweets with syrup and
honey, such as “melekouni” («μελεκούνι»). “Melekouni” are made from
honey, sesame, almond and are flavoured with spices. The recipe is kept
unchanged for generations. These traditional sweets accompany all
important events.
SOUVENIRS AND SHOPPING
Rodos is famous for its leather goods and jewelry, ceramics and wooden
items. Such villages as Afandou, Archangelos and other are known for
their handmade carpets. You can also take local honey, liquor or olive oil.
