Salakos

Salakos is a traditional mountain village on the western side of Rhodes, located on the slopes of Mount Attavyros. It is surrounded by rich natural scenery, pine forests, and olive groves, offering a quiet and authentic atmosphere away from the island's main tourist areas. The village maintains its traditional character with stone houses, narrow streets, and a central square that serves as the heart of local life.

Salakos has a strong connection to rural life and local traditions on Rhodes. The main activities in the area include agriculture and beekeeping, while local festivals and religious celebrations play an important role in preserving the village's cultural identity. Near the village lies the well-known natural site of the Seven Springs (Epta Piges), one of the most popular nature attractions on the island.

Today, Salakos is an ideal destination for visitors seeking peace, nature, and an authentic experience of inland Rhodes. It offers opportunities for hiking, enjoying traditional cuisine, and exploring the natural landscape, making it a great place to discover a more traditional and unspoiled side of the island.
