thumb|right|200px|Prasonisi Lighthouse Prasonisi (also Prassoníssi) cape is a part of the island of Rhodes. It is located 92 km from Rhodes town; 40 kilometers from Lindos, at the southern part of Rhodes.

==Overview== Prasonisi is the Greek word for "green island". During the summer, and when water levels are low enough, this island is a peninsula attached to Rhodes by a tombolo. During the winter time, and when water levels are high enough, Prasonisi becomes an island. The southernmost tip of Prasonisi contains the Prasonisi Lighthouse. The closest Greek village is Katavia; however, there is a purpose-built settlement on Prasonisi that contains motels, convenience stores, restaurants, and windsurf rentals which are open seasonally. Near Prasonisi is Vroulia, an ancient settlement that contains an old mosaic tiled floor.
