Within a couple of hours we found ourselves on the southern tip of the island, in a remote town
called Prasonisi. As well as a couple of amenities, the town has a long sandy beach that was
utterly deserted when we visited. If this wasn’t enough of a novelty, we also discovered that you
can actually walk across the sea to an island, also called Prasonisi.
An hour here was enough for us and we were soon hurtling across mountains as we made our
way to the west coast of the island. The clear open roads, wind in our hair and occasional
glimpses of sea through gaps in the mountains made for a delightful journey.
Once we’d navigated the mountains, we soon found ourselves in the town of Siana, famous for
its production of honey. However, thanks to the town’s off-the-beaten track location, miles from
the tourist traps of Rhodes Town and Lindos, it had remained refreshingly free of commercial
cynicism and ruthlessness.
There were no hard sells, no cheeky British catchphrases to make us feel relaxed. Just simple
people selling simple honey at simple prices. We were suitably charmed, and bought up a few
jars of the good stuff, as well as some tins of olive oil that I’ve been using for cooking every day
since I returned.

Our final venture was entirely unplanned. Whilst driving to the north of the
island, we were distracted by a sign that read “Paradise Beach”. Well, call
us gullible, but we were suitably intrigued to turn off and follow the path to
paradise.
Sometimes you are rewarded for taking a chance in life and this was one of
those occasions. A long and winding road descended towards the sea and
we finally found ourselves confronted by an idyllic setting. We parked up on
some gravel and went to explore.
Well, no sand was to be seen, and there was little by way of pebbles
either, so we had to question the “beach” part of the description. But
paradise was to be found with the sensational views, the kaleidoscope of
coloured rocks, and the sheer serenity of the place. We were the only
people for miles!
There was only one thing for it. We launched ourselves into the deep blue
waters of the Aegean Sea and savoured one of those rare moments of
unmitigated beauty. “This is what it’s all about,” we thought to ourselves,
unspoken, but unmistaken.
