Rhodes is one of the most developed islands in the Mediterranean in terms of tourism. However many villages and settlements within Rhodes Island maintain their traditional rural flair. So, it’s only natural that many local dishes include meat, like goat (cooked in a clay pot), chicken (with pasta) and pork.

Two distinctive local delicacies are cheese grilled in red wine, called Kokkinotyri, and Pitaridia, which are locally made lasagna. Also, there is another type of local pasta, called “koulouria”, which is usually served in weddings, as well as many types of bread, like the wedding’s bread, olive oil bread, sesame bread and “ladopsyhia”, which is based on stale bread.
