... through - houses and business - were flat-roofed, and most of the hills/mountains I saw looked plateaued as well.

The weather was amazing while I was on Rhodes and the last day was absolutely magnificent. I went crazy with my camera and sat for quite a while watching the pinks and blues in the sky, and the silvery shimmer on the water until the day slowly disappeared.

I found the locals wonderfully friendly and eager to please any tourist who ...

... of the point, the old site of the Colossus of Rhodes that guarded the entrance to the harbour. The huge fort with massive towers encircled Old Town and dominated the vista as we looked out from the 15th storey of the ship. The fort is made of a coarse block stone that is a mix between limestone and sandstone which provides that warm golden hue when the sun hits it, a rare occasion today. As the rain continued during the morning we ate a leisurely breakfast sitting on ...

I was really overdue my holidays, finally getting to take it in October and I just signed up to two weeks of not doing much in Turkey with a couple of friends in a group. For me though not doing much isn't my cup of tea so I took every chance to re-live my old Turkey memories, from food, sights, sea, dancing and ahem, yes the men, again :)

Please come back soon as I update all the stories from the two weeks. Thanks.

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.

I am going to upload a couple of pics from yesterday on Myconos to give you an idea of the beauty here.

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.
After ...

... 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.

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.

... for "authentic Greece" that they will never be far away from the same facilities that they are used to back home and boastingly adds that "some 150 night clubs have been built in the last ten years alone". For those nice souls who enjoy killing animals whilst on holiday it claims that Rhodes is a "hunters paradise" and lists species that are perennial favourites before regretfully adding that some of these have become threatened and that if you want to hunt them you will need a licence ...
