Rhodes Traditional Inland Villages

Soak up the rural atmosphere in several inland villages while sampling classic Greek specialties. While pausing at a bakery in the small farming community of Psinthos, you will see how Greek sourdough bread is made from scratch and baked in a wood-fired oven. You can expect the experience to be an enlightening and genuine look at traditional village life. Your time in Apollona will be similarly captivating. While walking through the village, you will visit a historical church and then pause at a café for a glass of ouzo and a meze. The village of Salakos is also traditional and incredibly scenic as it is surrounded by dense forests, ancient olive groves and vineyards with grape varieties such as athiri. The grape leaves are used for dolmades, which you will sample while the guide elaborates on their preparation. Grapes are also used to produce the aperitif souma, which you will sample with a traditional barbecue lunch.
