The rich breakfast buffet gives emphasis to Rhodian products and authentic local recipes.
Bakery products include “ladokouloura” made from yeast with herbs, “lazarous”, a unique bread with raisins, figs and dried nuts, the well known “fanouropita” cake and cookies like “anevata”, “zacharenia”, among others. Milk and local yoghurt are paired with spoon sweets or the famous Rhodian thyme honey. Some famous local sweets are “Mantinades” from Lindos, “takakia”, “marmarites”, “moschopoughia”, “kserotigana”, and the “Katimeria”, in countless variations with honey, cheese, olive oil etc. Worth mentioning are the “Poughia” or “Poughies” -pies made with various wild greens, with just salt and spicy peppers, then wrapped in phyllo and baked in a traditional “Klivani” oven. An old local recipe is “Vilanoviatiki Krommyder”, made with lots of onions and eggs. Eggs can also be scrambled with tomato “Kagianas” style or beaten with zucchini, in an omelet known as “Sfouggato.” Another unique local dish is “matsogalo” which resembles rice pudding but instead of rice it is made with “matsa” pasta. The traditional “melekouni” from Rhodes, made with honey, sesame and almonds. is the perfect ending to this Greek breakfast.
