The Aegean Islands region
Rhodes is the largest island in the group known as the Dodecanese. It is the 3rd largest island in Greece and is positioned south east of the mainland close to the coastline of Turkey. Its positioning makes it popular with sun worshipers as the island is said to enjoy more days of sunshine than any in the med. A testament to the sun god, helios who claimed the island for himself, Rhodes rose out of the sea more than 2000 years ago. With that life span you can only begin to imagine the history of this mountainous isle. One thing is for sure, if you love the sun and you love Greece, Rhodes will not disappoint.
Rhodes / Malona area
Malona is situated on the east coast of Rhodes where many beautiful sandy beaches can be found. The nearest is the glorious beach of Agathi, a sheltered beach with gently shelving water great for children, however the aqua blue waters won't disappoint anyone. Agathi is approx. 10 km from Malona, about 5 mins by car or moped. There is an 18 hole golf course at Afandou approximately 15 minute drive from Malona. There are eateries to be found in Malona and the neighbouring village of Masari. Close by is popular resort of Haraki with cafeterias, bars and tavernas. The village of Malona itself has several small minimarkets, a chemist and a butchers. The local post office runs from one of the cafes in the square and fresh fruit and fish are sold from vans visiting daily. Horse riding also available nearby. Visit the miniature horse sanctuary of Archangelos, a native breed to Rhodes. Visit the historic old town of Rhodes, picturesque Lindos, sample wines in Embona or take one of the many boats to neighbouring islands. Turkey is just a 1 hour boat ride away too!
