Paradeisi (Greek: Παραδείσι) is a village on the northern coast of the island of Rhodes, Greece.
It has a population of 2,623 inhabitants (2021 census)[1] and is the second-largest town (after Kremasti) in the municipal unit of Petaloudes.
During the period of the Saint John Knights occupation of the island, the magister Villeneuve made a castle in order to protect the northeastern part of the island from pirate raids.
Later, Arab inhabitants brought exotic flowers and planted them along the village mountain making it look as paradise, hence the name Paradeisi.
After the Italian occupation, they renamed the village to Villanova only to be changed again to Paradeisi after it was reclaimed by Greece.
