Club Resort Select Maris Marmaris

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

... all we could of the castle, we ventured outside the walls to go check out some ancient ruins. On the map, there was a big green park with some old ruins labeled, and it didn't look too far away. What the map didn't show was that it was uphill, hard to find, and when we got there it wasn't a park at all, but just an ancient stadium and some old columns surrounded by ...

... of little alleyways again and you realized that you had come back to where you started. It was fun and we spent about 4 hours in there and then walked back to the ship. Had a late lunch on the ship and went to our cabin to have our afternoon siesta and watched Get Smart on tv. We decided to have a day off the grog so watched the ship leave from deck 7 and headed to the Casino for a short time and then came home.

... 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 hate coming to places that have been ruined by tourism. Marmaris in Turkey is one such place. I have absolutely loved Turkey - fantastic people, interesting cities and some of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The sole exception was Marmaris, which whilst not a bad experience can be used to explain the negative things that happen when an area goes too far into the tourist market place.<br><br>So is a touristy area a bad thing? Not ...

... downloaded the latest Clint Eastwood film "Gran Torino," which we watched. Enjoyable though it was, I thought the directing, acting and story line were all rather stiff.<br><br><br><br>On the second day they wanted to host me by assisting me to see some touristic sights of Konya. Well, I was already familiar with the museums and such. But I did want to revisit the archaeological site of Çatalhöyük, to which I had been about three times, the last being for the solar eclipse ...

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>

... Desperate for a shower, we rapped loudly on a door that was the one, in our opinion, most likely to contain the proprietor. We guessed that he was likely to be called Billy. After all the pension is called 'Billy's Pansion'.<br><br>After a few knocks we heard the sound a baby crying. Then a female voice and a male voice whispering urgently. Hoiking and spitting noises ensued and presently the door opened and a tattooed young man stared at us with bleary eyes. He said his name was ...
