Esperos Palace (Half Board) 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

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 ...

... 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 ...

For two girls who were falling asleep on the bus there we did very well and ended up finishing at about 8am in the morning. And a certain friend of mine decided to have a dip in the beach before we left ( I have photos)<br><br>Let's ...

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>

... been buried within a human family plot with both respect and affection. One wonders why? They hazard a guess or two but I guess we will never really know. The second display that caught my eye was that for the Ghizani (Ladigesocypris ghigii), one of the 'little brown jobbies' of the freshwater fish world, but unique to Rhodes and of course, endangered. I like to think that I was properly raised. I am, for the most part polite and always say please and thank you. I have ...

... led us past freshly painted abodes and blossoming bourgainvillae. Yawning cats, healthy-looking after Corfu and Athens, sunned themselves and licked their fur. The light was clear and sharp and the banishment of motor vehicles gave the place a tranquility we had been missing so far on our journey. We came upon a square with a fountain in the shape of three sea-horses. A cafe was open and a few people were sat outside it sipping coffee and eating toast. We decided to join them.<br ...
