Prasonissi

Conquer the Winds of Rhodes

Prasonisi, at Rhodes' southern tip, is a remarkable natural wonder. A sandbar connects a small islet to the mainland, creating a meeting point for the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas. This dynamic landscape, with its contrasting sea colors and tide-dependent sandbar, offers a stunning visual experience.

Known as a world-class watersports destination, Prasonisi attracts windsurfers and kitesurfers from around the globe. The consistent, strong winds and differing sea conditions cater to all skill levels. The Aegean side provides challenging waves, while the Mediterranean side offers calmer waters for beginners. The beach itself, a mix of sand and pebbles, provides space for relaxation.

Despite its popularity, Prasonisi retains its natural, unspoiled charm. Its remote location and minimal development enhance its beauty. Panoramic views, a small lighthouse, and the unique meeting of two seas make Prasonisi a must-see for a truly unforgettable Rhodes experience.
