Prasonisi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prasonisi cape is a part of Rhodes island. It is located 92 km from Rhodes town; 40 Km from Lindos, in southern-west part of Rhodes island.

Prasonisi is Greek for green island. During the summer when water levels are low, this island is a pensinsula attached to Rhodes. During the winter when water levels are high, Prasonisi becomes an island. The southern-most tip of Prasonisi contains a lighthouse. The closest Greek village is Kattavia, however there is a purpose-built settlement on at Prasonisi that contains motels, convenience stores, restaurants, and windsurf rentals. Near Prasonisi is Vroulia, an ancient settlement that contains an old mosaic tiled floor.
