The bandit of the Robber in Profylia

Η Profiles is a semi-mountainous village on the pine-covered south side Rhodes, built on the slope of Mount Gerakas at an altitude of 382 meters above sea level. It is about 80 km away from the city of Rhodes - which are done in one and a half hours depending on the traffic - and yet the distance, although far for a trip with the sole purpose of food does not discourage the friends of good Rhodesian cuisine. Because everyone in Rhodes, locals and visitors, go there in the middle of nowhere, to a small village that did not even have a cafe, to enjoy the tavern "To limeri tou Robis". The tavern on the public, next to an old 16th century chapel and under a giant fig tree, which gives its thick shade in the hot summers, the Savvas and Constantina they made with their hands a gastronomic oasis.

Ο Savvas Papasavvas he finished school in Profylia and when the school teacher wrestled him to cut a vegetable from a box, he playfully called him a robber, and he was nicknamed, for the rest of his life. The years passed, he saw and swore in the city of Rhodes with his catering and night work, he said to return to the village, after of course convincing the beautiful Konstantina, and to turn his nickname into a brand name! He said it and he did it. Out of 400 reviews on a well-known international social network, 90% rate it as excellent and 7% as very good.

Many of his meals are cooked and local recipes. Flowers stuffed with cream cheese, pitaroudia, leaves (dolmades), rooster drunk with noodles, reddened goat (says the wedding), pork knuckle in the hull, lamb stealing in the oven and natural lacana (goat with oatmeal).

All the products are local, the portions are very exuberant and Savvas and Konstantina take care of themselves their visitors, winter summer (how much I appreciate the shops that give life to the place on difficult winter days).

In Profilia, the village a pole of attraction for summer nature lovers and the deer Dama dama, we felt great joy that we crossed with the "platoon of Rhodes" (that is what the Rhodians call the deer) and the same wild joy We felt, when we tried so many magical local delicacies in the tavern "To limeri tou Robis", seasoned and sprinkled among others with large doses of dignity and open heart.
