About the Resort
To reach Prasonisi you have to drive to the most southern part of the island. Once you pass Katavia a further 8 kilometres through the hills, Prasonisi comes into sight. As you roll over the top of the hill towards Prasonisi you see the huge waves over to the right, calm sea and shelter from the wind to the left - and surfers everywhere, it really is paradise.
The beach is one of the most impressive beaches on the island. There are two sandy coves that end in an island, which can be reached on foot or by swimming, depending on the weather and water level. The strong winds on Prasonisi beach make it a surfer’s paradise. On one side of the cape there is the Mediterranean Sea with good waves and views for advanced surfers and on the other side, the Aegean Sea with flatter water, which is better suited for beginners.
The surfing season on Prasonisi begins in May and finishes by October. The wind conditions throughout the season are perfect allowing people to make a lot of progress with there surfing. The wind can vary in strength from day to day but generally picks up as the day goes by. Just offshore there is a tiny ‘Green Island’ and sandbar dividing the clear shallow water, which creates a superb and unique wave break on Prasonisi. Prasonisi is used as a practice area by some of the best wind surfers in the world including Olympic teams from various countries and is host to many top international competitions.
During the summer months on Prasonisi the strong ‘Meltemi’ wind combines with and is accelerated by the ‘Venturi’ system, which creates very powerful results. The result of this combination allows for both strong offshore flat-water speed sailing and radical onshore wave sailing over the sandbank.

The Water State On Prasonisi
There are two areas to surf on Prasonisi, the Cross-Off side and the onshore side.
Cross-Off Side: Flat as a pancake on the inside with a very slight chop on the outside when it is 5m or less weather, sandy bottom.
Hazards - Other windsurfers. It is quite a big bay and a long beach but we all like to sail at full speed into one area to show off our latest tricks 6ft from the shoreline. Do watch out for full power, windsurfers sailing on slalom kit with total disregard for other water users.
Suitability levels - Perfect for every level from beginner to freestyle master to slalom guru.
Onshore Side: Onshore to cross onshore with rolling swell outside the breaking waves. Average size of waves is waist to head high. The onshore conditions require more work to get big air but it is a great training ground for onshore wave riding and a real change from the super flat waters on the other side of the peninsula.
Hazards - The waves break onto a sand bar and can be quite steep and punchy on a windy day so be careful of kit and body breakage. If you are really unlucky you will step on a sand eel whilst walking your kit over the shallow channel between the two beaches. This can hurt like hell and ruin your day’s sailing. Kite surfers tend to favour this side and it can get quite hectic.
Suitability levels – You need to be fairly confident in waves if it is head high, good practice area for sailing in chop, water start essential.
If you are not a wind or kite surf fan you can still find something to do on Prasonisi, there are only two shops and 5 small hotels on Prasonisi allowing the area to keep a traditional atmosphere rather than that of a bustling tourist area. On the beach are two taverns serving traditional Greek food, where you can taste specialities such as Mousaka, Octopus from the grill, Humus, Suflaki and many other different dishes, that will let you get a feel for the Greek Spirit. You can swim, scuba dive, bike ride or take a walk through the hills where you will discover tiny beaches hidden on the “Green Island” where there is also a lighthouse, a symbol of Prasonisi. If you simply want to relax you can sunbath on the beach or hire a sun bed and take a siesta.
Do not expect you will be lonely in Prasonisi, during the surfing season people from around the world come here in there camper vans and stay for the summer. When the sun goes down and people finish surfing for the day the fires get lit, the guitars come out and the family atmosphere begins to shine. People from around the world who have come to Prasonisi for the love of their sport come together and create an amazing atmosphere in this tiny place, once you have been you will want to stay.
Prasonisi is not an area of Rhodes with big nightclubs and big busy shopping areas, but it is a fun, relaxed area for surfing and chilling out, good for families as well.
- For those of you that would really like to do something special on holiday, why not treat yourself to a tour with a difference - The ultimate mix of culture and 4x4 fun on the Rhodes Land Rover Safari.
This is a lush green Valley, with a small river running through it. The site is beautifully arranged with little wooden bridges, stepping-stones and an uphill path, which leads to the Monastery of the Virgin of Kalopetra. The Valley of the butterflies is a unique natural park where each year thousands of multicoloured butterflies appear. The park is a nice place to walk around under the shade of the trees. The characteristic scent of the pine resin, which attracts the butterflies and the coolness from the abundantly flowing waters, make this a small paradise even during hot summer days. The valley of the butterflies is a must see attraction, nature lovers or not, the valley is breathtaking.
The Prasonisi Center offer a variety of wind-surfing lessons and rental options, and arrange pick up and drop off from/back to your hotel in the morning/evenings etc.
