The small museum Ladomilos in the center of the village of Sianna is a sure stop when you explore the island by car! Already the trip going there is worthwhile, driving through the mountains and nature of Rhodes. The village of Sianna is situated on the westcoast of the island. The museum is a nice stop,(no entrance fees) we received a warm welcome there by Anastasia and Despina, who.told us all about the process of making oil out of the olives. And of course the tasting part is very nice! All together a great experience in a friendly and warm Greek environment! Thank you Anastasia & Despina for your warm.welcome and interesting info you shared with us.We will.pass again...????

Spyros is an incredibly enthusiastic, kind and proud owner of his collection of antiquities, geological stones and minerals and artifacts depicting Greek mythology and Greek gods! The paintings on the ceilings we found especially beautiful! Spyros gave us a personal and enthusiastic tour and told us about his findings with a lot of wit. We would definitely recommend going here! It is a good way to see a broad spectrum historical Greek treasures!

I ahev visisted the museum many times since I come to Rodhes every year and I also came across some of the major representatives of this Jewish community. The museum tells you a lot about the life on the island before the Olocaust and also you can find a memorial in the courtyard to rmember all the many, too many, people taken away by the nazis. The visit is touching and culturally significand. If you go in summertime and you are lucky you could be welcomed by Sami Modiano in person who is always ready and pleased to introduce you to the tour of the Sinagoge and museum; this is a person worth meeting in life as he is also one of the few survivors from Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. They normally hold a commemoration every July.

The Folklore House of Soroni was created in 1992. It is set in an old stone-built residence and formed in the fashion of the traditional houses of the village, decorated with textiles, embroideries, utensils as well as the traditional costumes of Soroni. Upon entering the door, the visitor is transferred in another era and the simple everyday life of those times unfolds before his eyes, having left its mark on every corner of the house and every single one of the dozens of exhibits in display. A visit that will definitely be memorable! Open daily except Sundays, from 10:00 until 13:00 & from 16:00 until 19:00. Entrance fee 1 euros.
