The beach of Soroni is situated at the western coast of the island, at a distance of some 25 kilometers southwestern to the town of Rhodes. It is a pebbly beach and the sea is usually wavy and deepens brusquely. The beach is not much organized and only few visitors come here as, due to the vicinity to the airport, the aircrafts make enough noise. However, if you choose this beach you will have enough space for water games and games on the sand. In autumn the sea is somehow cold here. Those preferring to stay in the area will find accommodation facilities, food and drink and stores for shopping, in the homonymous village, only one kilometer far from the beach. In fact, staying in Soroni is a good choice if you prefer to be far from the noisy, cosmopolitan resorts of the island. Once at Soroni you have several things to do and see. At a distance of 3 kilometers southeastern to the beach, after a short drive within a pine wood, you will arrive at the tiny, cute church of Aghios Soulas. A local feast (“panighyri”) takes place here on the 29th and 30th of July in honor of the saint. The feast is one of the greatest of the island and many people attend it. During the panighyri horse and … donkey races are organized. As the event is very popular, extra public buses departing from the town of Rhodes, get the people to the church. For health problems you should address to the local Medical Centers of Kremasti (some 12 kilometers to the Northeast) and of Paradeissi (some 8 kilometers also to the Northeast). At Paradeissi you will also find a Police Station. Access to the beach of Soroni is easy by public buses from the town of Rhodes, by taxi and, of course by rented or private car and motorbikes.

Being one of the most popular Greek beaches among photographers, the beach of Rhodes still offers something of its cosmopolitan aspect from the 70’s, and is one of the most visited beaches on the island. Hundreds of tourists and locals visit the beach daily. It defies one’s powers of imagination to conceive what this beach must have seen in all the years since the English writer Lawrence Durrell described it as the finest beach in the Mediterranean. The multi-coloured umbrellas, the blonde Scandinavian beauties lounging on their sun beds, the towering hotels, the Casino and the Aquarium in the background, all of them once a favourite subject for photographers, are now the theme of cult postcards. Hundreds of foreign visitors descend on the beach every day, as well as local people enjoying their midday break.

Cretan Dairy Products
Crete leads the word in cheese consumption. Cretans love cheese rather than milk. Many dishes of the traditional Cretan cuisine are based on local dairy products; however, in Crete cheese is eaten alone throughout the day either as accompaniment or as appetizer, main meze or desert, while the Cretan graviera topped with honey is everyone’s favourite breakfast or supper.
Traditional farming methods rely on centuries-long experience. The only basic difference from the past is that nowadays milk processing is not carried out at the sheep hut next door but in modern facilities.
The most significant products of the Cretan land are olives and olive oil, grapes, citrus and fruits in general, wine and tsikoudia – the Cretan fire water-, dairy products, apaki (pork coated in aromatic herbs, marinated for 2-3 days in vinegar and wine before it is slowly smoked over a fire of olive and cypress branches), vinegar-tinged sausages, bread and rusks, thyme honey, stamnagathi (a wild green with a bitter and sweet flavour and an exquisite aftertaste), wild greens and vegetables, sultanas, locust beans, herbs and aromatic plants.
