PRASONISSI (92 km from Rhodes town) For those who love the aegean blue waters and seek for windsurfing adventure, Prasonissi, the southern seashore of the island is an ideal proposal. The west side beach is usually windy, in perfect contrast with the east which is usually calm. You may reach Prasonissi either from the east or the west side of the island. Try both routes, one to reach it and the other when leaving the area, so to ensure that you will drive through the magnificent countryside of the island.
