Embonas

This guide to Embonas in Rhodes finds a quiet mountain square that becomes, come late August, the standard every other village's dancers measure themselves against. You'll hear about the Rhodian sousta chain dance, the hand-embroidered poukamiso chemise that takes a needle countless evenings to finish, and how that costume shaped the wider look now called Rhodian dress. It follows what the whole village smells of by the end of August, when the grape harvest comes in.
