Emponas Rhodes
Embonas is located 52 km SW. of Rhodes (city) on the slopes of Attaviros of the highest mountain of the island (1,250 meters). The inhabitants are mainly engaged in animal husbandry and viticulture, which is why there are many modern and traditional wineries. The area is famous for its wines and is known for the local varieties ``Athiri`` and ``Amorgiano``. The wine festival takes place in Embonas and is celebrated in August.
