Look for the abandoned but still-dominant Italian sanatorium and the also-Italian water canal above the village. Once the fresh air and walking have worked up an appetite, you can stop at one of the local restaurants and try cheese-stuffed pumpkin blossoms, pittaroudia (with pumpkin, tomato and onion) or braised goat with beans.
The square of Eleusis is surrounded by imposing buildings. The largest of these, with its arches and small curved balconies, was the market. The prison was directly across the street (it now serves as a school). At one end of the square was the sanatorium and at the other was the church of Agios Charalambos (Agios Charalambos), which was once a Catholic church and is now an Orthodox church.
A few hundred meters beyond the square of Eleusis there is a large round tank filled with the waters of the nearby Koskinisti spring. There lives a fairly large population of the extremely rare Gizáni freshwater fish, a local fish species.
Eleousa is easily accessible by car, situated approximately 24 kilometers southeast of Rhodes Town. Visitors can also opt for local buses or taxis to reach the village.
Eleousa is known for its traditional architecture, including stone houses and cobblestone streets. The village square, surrounded by tavernas and cafes, is a focal point. Additionally, the Church of Agios Nikolaos and the Italian military memorial are notable landmarks.
Yes, visitors can explore local shops that offer handmade crafts, traditional souvenirs, and local products. It's a great place to purchase authentic Greek goods and support local artisans.
Yes, the ruins of the ancient city of Kamiros are located nearby, providing a fascinating glimpse into Rhodes' ancient history. It's recommended to include a visit to Kamiros when exploring Eleousa.
