The small museum Ladomilos in the center of the village of Sianna is a sure stop when you explore the island by car! Already the trip going there is worthwhile, driving through the mountains and nature of Rhodes. The village of Sianna is situated on the westcoast of the island. The museum is a nice stop,(no entrance fees) we received a warm welcome there by Anastasia and Despina, who.told us all about the process of making oil out of the olives. And of course the tasting part is very nice! All together a great experience in a friendly and warm Greek environment! Thank you Anastasia & Despina for your warm.welcome and interesting info you shared with us.We will.pass again...????

Spyros is an incredibly enthusiastic, kind and proud owner of his collection of antiquities, geological stones and minerals and artifacts depicting Greek mythology and Greek gods! The paintings on the ceilings we found especially beautiful! Spyros gave us a personal and enthusiastic tour and told us about his findings with a lot of wit. We would definitely recommend going here! It is a good way to see a broad spectrum historical Greek treasures!

If you are round the area I highly suggest visiting this lovely little museum, so much to see and cheap for what its worth. Great to go along with friends or family, owners will give you a full tour and explain anything needed to know. They also have a really nice little gift shop for you to take some lovely souvenir's home.

We were staying at the Blue Lagoon Village nearby and decided to get a taxi here. We didn't phone ahead, assuming it was still open (we were there at the end of October) It wasn't! It had closed the day before! Our taxi driver spoke with the owners, Anna and Michael who were busy decorating. They happily opened up the house for us and gave us a tour which was so interesting. They then said they were going to cook pizzas for themselves and would we like some? So we had beautiful fresh pizza, homemade juices and a traditional Greek coffee (something the posh resort we were staying at didn't even do!) in an idyllic setting. Michael even gave us fresh pomegranate picked straight from one of their trees! Added to our delightful visit, their cat had had kittens, so our young children were delighted playing with them. Anna and Michael were just so hospitable, our visit to the traditional house was one of the highlights of our whole holiday. At the end of our visit Anna offered to drive us back to our resort. I can't praise them highly enough. I just hope they get through this awful coronavirus period and continue to prosper.

Greece's unique Bee Museum was established in 2004 in Rhodes and quickly became one of the best in the world. It aims to present the tradition of Beekeeping in Greece as well as the marvelous world of Bees. When someone arrives at the Bee Museum we offer him Melekouni, the traditional sweet of Rhodes. Among other things, our visitors get the chance to watch bees producing honey in real time, get in touch with all of the bees' products, have fun playing interactive games and buy traditional products and sweet souvenirs.

I ahev visisted the museum many times since I come to Rodhes every year and I also came across some of the major representatives of this Jewish community. The museum tells you a lot about the life on the island before the Olocaust and also you can find a memorial in the courtyard to rmember all the many, too many, people taken away by the nazis. The visit is touching and culturally significand. If you go in summertime and you are lucky you could be welcomed by Sami Modiano in person who is always ready and pleased to introduce you to the tour of the Sinagoge and museum; this is a person worth meeting in life as he is also one of the few survivors from Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. They normally hold a commemoration every July.

Behind the impressive facade of Bellenis lie many interesting stories: war history, Lerian traditions, medical equipment from the 19th and 20th centuries, art made by the political prisoners held in Leros during the dictatorship 1967-1974 .The building from the 1920's itself is interesting enough.
