Prasonisi (or Prassonisi) is Greek for "green island". During the summer when water levels are low, this island is a pensinsula attached to Rhodes. During the winter when water levels are high, Prasonisi becomes an island. The southern-most tip of Prasonisi contains a lighthouse. The closest Greek village is Kattavia, however there is a purpose-built settlement on at Prasonisi that contains motels, convenience stores, restaurants, and windsurf rentals. Near Prasonisi is Vroulia, an ancient settlement that contains an old mosaic tiled floor.

Rhodes & especially Prasonisi is a good place for windsurf & kitesurf. From one side of the cape there is the Aegean Sea with good waves and views for advanced surfers.
