Afandou

Let’s visit local family owned ceramicworkshop. The term ‘ceramic’ comes from the Greek word meaning ‘pottery’. Do you know that pottery has magic in it. Why? Because it comes from nature as a meeting of 3 elements: earth, water & fire. Earth and water are the raw materials, fire gives the objects colour and durability while human hearts and hands give them shape. Glay is the symbol of creativity, many myths describe it to be the material out of which the first men, plants and animals come to be. Every hand-made object is unique, like in life, no two are perfectly identical. Perfection is boring, there is no room to boredom in the world of Greek pottery

Monastery Tsambika

The legend has it that women facing difficulties in conceiving should climb the hill barefooted to pray in the church for fertility and that most of the times, faith is compensated and wishes fulfilled. If so, the male child to be born to such mother is to be named «Tsampikos» whereas the girl «Tsampika». For those still skeptical on the veracity of this lore, we recommend that you experiment by merely calling the name in a busy street anywhere in Rhodes: just count the number of heads turning to you for cognizance!
