Blue Sea Beach Hotel-Kallithea Faliraki

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

... But they were our first ruins, so we enjoyed them anyway. The best part about the area was that we were all the way on top of the island, and could see for miles down the coast in either direction. <br>We zig-zagged our way down the hill and back into town, rewarded ourselves with a glass of wine at a local cafe. We were excited to try our first greek restaurant, and even ...

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 ...

... a magnificent bronze statue of Helios, a Greek God. It was one of the seven wonders of the Ancient world. The statue only stood for 56 years before an earthquake destroyed it in 226BC. <br><br>The medieval town of Rhodes has now been declared a world heritage site. And no wonder with its winding old lanes, ancient defensive walls and its beautiful clear sky and water. We couldn't have afforded a night here but we sure are glad we got to spend a day in this touristy little town. <br><br ...

I already miss Mykonos. <br><br>Thursday, Sammy and I went to this very exclusive beach with our Canadian friends called psaru ( i know that's not how u spell it). <br><br>You couldn't even get a beach lounge if you paid them but was amazing to see, beautiful people and amazing bodies!<br><br>On the way we saw a bike accident and thought twice about if we wanted to get back on our bike. We did however go and get bike helmets. <br><br>Friday we started celebrating ...

Next we were onto Rhodes, one of the most historically significant Greek Isles. We saw the medieval old town, the Acropolis (yes, Rhodes has one too), and the site where the Colossus of Rhodes presumably stood in ancient times. We also got in a little beach time and visited a neat pottery factory.<br>

... Or target practice? I don't know. Getting back to the Pension at around five I found Jenny, Gabby and co drinking beer in the courtyard so I joined them. After an hour we all decided to give it a rest till eight and then go out to dinner. After last night the old city was very quiet. At one point there was just us five, the wine, the cats and guy serenading us on the guitar. Afterwards we returned to our digs through quiet dark streets accompanied tonight by a ...

... the main area alight was the mountainous area that I had taken the scooter over three days ago. Peoples' houses had been burned and some old folk had perished within. I was somewhat shocked to read this and remembered going through villages where the locals had all been stood worriedly looking at the smoke coming from Mount Pantokratora. I had assumed that it was a seasonal thing and therefore not much cause for concern. A state of emergency has been declared in northern Corfu, the ...
