 Rhodes Emponas
Village.
The
cute fertile mountainous village of Emponas is situated at a
distance of 52 kilometers southwestern to the town of Rhodes at an
altitude of some 450 meters, at the foot of Attavyros mountain, the highest
mountain of the island. The high location of the village has kept it
almost untouched by tourism and completely unspoiled. That's why Emponas
Village have still secrets that even local people don't know about
it, one of them is the secret waterfall.
Embonas
Village is known for its wonderful
grilled meat tavernas as the area is fortunate in being able to
provide excellent fresh meats,
the village is famous for its wine, maybe the best wine of the
island. The name of the village is a false pronunciation of the
ancient word “ambon”, which means “mountainside”.
For those intrepid enough to want to
“take to the hills”, there is a path that leads right to the top of
the 1 215m tall Attavyros
mountain.
 At a small artificial plateau on the top, you will see the ruins of
the temple of Attavyrios Zeus, which, according to the myth had been
built by the hero Athamenes, the founder of the ancient city of
Kamiros. The place is mentioned in several ancient works, as
well as in the works of more
recent travelers, who came here to enjoy the excellent view of
almost the whole complex of the Dodecanese, even of Crete, when the
weather permits it.
