Alexia Hotel And Studios Rhodes

Another beautiful day. Sunny 78 degrees on the island of Rhodes. We travel to Lindos half way down the island. To see the Acropolis were Paul spoke to the Greeks. A long climb to the top with a view to forever. Just outstanding. Back to the boat early to catch some sun by the pool.<br><br>I am going to upload a couple of pics from yesterday on Myconos to give you an idea of the beauty here.<br><br>Davo and Janet

There's Medieval castles in Greece? Who knew! We stopped in Rhodes enroute from Fethiye to Santorini, and got to enjoy the day in Rhodes town before catching the overnight ferry out. Coming into the port, there's a great view of their old castle, and we spent a lot of the day inside the "old town", exploring the Knight's Quarter, along with all the tourist shops.<br>After ...

What a difference a day makes. This place is absolutely beautiful. There are still lots of walls and castles that have been here for thousands of years, but it is nice and clean and friendly. We walked into the walled city and saw heaps more shops with locally made things and also lots of touristy rubbish, but no-one was hassling us to buy and we could just wander around looking and not fighting people off ...

After a quick breakfast, we headed off to the port to catch our 9am ferry to Rhodes, but it looked like everyone else in Fethiye had the same idea. The boat was full of those annoying package holiday makers on a day trip to Rhodes. <br><br>After a rough ride, we bought our tickets to Athens (Rhodes to Athens &#8364;53 each, one way) and had the whole day to spend in Rhodes before our next ferry departed. <br><br>Rhodes was famous worldwide in the ancient world for the Colossus of Rhodes ...

it was my first time to Rhodes island!. thats new for me!! actually<br>only done a day excursion in 2007. so my flight from London Gatwick to<br>Rhodes was a late evening flight. I traveled with two of my friends Ben<br>and Neil!. but it was a late flight 22:50hrs Saturday 5th September .<br>the flight was good. we arrived in Greece at 5:30am Greek time. by the<br>time we got to our ...

... sign a confirmation form. One day at sea and I'm thinking I should have done what Barbara is doing -- disembark at Safaga, Egypt and fly to Goa and start our tours. We have 14 days at sea to get to Goa, and I'm already tired of reading! TV consists of one channel, BBC, plus some Star Clipper advertising channels. So like little Katherine Howard in "The Boleyn Inheritance", I ask myself "What do I have?" I have my MP3 ...

... faithful and the tourists to do this. It was an extreme step class workout!!! However the views at the top were magnificent - and after eventually getting our breath back, worth the climb (although if Tina does get miraculously pregnant we will definitely be reversing this opinion!!!!). We went down to one of the nearby beaches, which boasts one of only 2 golf courses in the Greek Islands. Chris's verdict - the cost of the rounds is cheap enough, but it could hardly be ...

... is less than magnificent. It's brewed with the grounds in the coffee, so when you first get your coffee, you have to let it sit so you're not drinking grounds. And then you still end up drinking it down enough to get a bit of grit before you stop, with about two millimetres left in your cup. Not my favourite coffee experience, I much prefer Italian. All in all Rhodes was nice, and it was nice to just hang around with my dad and sister for a few days.

... name, coming on to do the show (lol i wasn't kidding when i said it was a cruise for the old folks). i didn't get a chance to go into Rhodes because it was my turn to stay on the ship but next time we are here i will definately go. I did take pictures from the sun deck though. Finally got some time in the mediterranean sun yesterday...and i got burnt!! not too bad (just on my shoulders) hopefully it will turn into a nice tan though. Was finally ...

... deck of the ship, speeding away from the port. We seemed to be on the edge of a fortified citadel. As I had already said, we knew nothing of Rhodes, only that it has a bit of a reputation as a party place. But this place didn't seem to be anything like our expectations, however misinformed they may be. Curiosity drew us into the city through an arch in the giant wall and we felt we had suddenly come upon a place of romance and history. Narrow streets, not paved, but made up of patterned ...
