About this tour
This session covers Prasonisi, the narrow sand spit joining Rhodes to a small islet at the island's southern tip. Rodanthi walks the strip, showing how one side stays rough with wind and waves while the other remains almost completely calm. She explains the geography behind this unusual contrast between the two coasts.
Rodanthi checks her connection at the start of the spit before walking across, holding the camera steady in the wind on the rougher side. She answers questions about the windsurfing scene and the geography as she goes. A short list of what was seen follows the call.
This suits travellers interested in wind sports or unusual coastal geography. It also works well as a scenic session for anyone exploring the quieter southern end of the island.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Rhodes before heading out.
-
The sand spit 21 min
Rodanthi walks the narrow strip of sand connecting Rhodes to the small islet of Prasonisi, the camera catching waves crashing on one side while the other stays glassy calm.
-
The islet side 21 min
Crossing to the calmer side, windsurfers and kitesurfers come into view on the windier beach nearby, and Rodanthi explains why the two sides of the same spit behave so differently.
-

Time to ask anything about Rhodes: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Pitaroudia (chickpea fritters) and Old Town (Medieval City), worth a slower look.
