The landscape on the west is not commercial or developed, and you can stop in small villages like Embonas (famous for their wine) and Sianna (great for carpets) on the way.

Keep a look out for a caravan parked on the side of the road (before you get to Sianna) which looks as if its going to slide down the mountain. Stop here and have a coffee (or a suma) sit and contemplate the breathtaking view.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11708 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11593
Orginially built as a HQ for Mussolini it has been restored by local craftsmen and offers a complete change from the beach.

You can have lunch (food is excellent), stay the night or even get married here - there's even a childrens play area. It's relaxing, peaceful and well worth the visit.

The drive is about an hour from Rhodes Town or Lindos.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11593 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7197 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7197
