The unknown mystical village of the Dwarfs in Rhodes

In Rhodes, in the middle of the 15th century, a large number of Alchemists arrivals was observed. It is speculated that the reason for their arrival was the search for Mandragora, a plant with anthropomorphic toxic root, which was widely used in medicine at the time.
But Mandragora of Rhodes is the only species in the world that produces purple flowers and its fruit looks like a small golden-red apple.
 

That is why it was also called “Satan’s Apple”.

The Order of the Knights of St.John, collaborated with the Alchemists and was influenced by their philosophy, as evidenced by the various alchemical and occult symbols in their tombs. For this reason they hosted one of the most important alchemists, the Englishman George Ripley, but they let him go soon because his experiments disturbed the abbot of the palace and other clergy. It is very likely that the dwarves did not arrive on the island by luck at all.
 

The time of their appearance shows that it coincides with the time of the arrival of the alchemists for whom we know very well that in those years they went around the western courtyards of the palaces, to demonstrate their abilities.

So, perhaps, the dwarves followed these alchemists (many times each alchemist on his travels was accompanied by a dwarf) who arrived in Rhodes to impress the Grand Master of the order and to collect the famous Mandragora of Rhodes

The remains of their village stands between the villages Embona and Salakos and not far you can find the Lake of the Dwarves, a small physical lake in the woods.

The lake, with an area of about 10 acres, is home to carp fish and the unique gizani. The surrounding crops are also irrigated with its water. This place is also known for its rich vegetation with rare species of plants, since around the lake there is a natural fence of trees and plants. It is also noteworthy that this place is also a refuge for migratory birds!
