Rhodes (Rhodos) is situated between the Black Sea and Egypt and is one of the most popular destinations in the Greek Isles apparently. Rhodes is perhaps most famous for one of the Seven Wonders of the World - The Colossus ...

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 ...

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.

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.

... out where in Turkey we were going and how to get there. I'm really getting used to Daniels motto "On the Fly." Now that we had 7 hours to kill we had plenty of time to wander the streets of old Rhodes and see this medieval town. Leaving our bags at the port I found the entrance through the fortress walls of Old Rhodes. Being so early in the morning the streets were almost bare. All around there were remains of old churches, towers, castle ...

... siege, the Turks won it under Suleman the Magnificent. This was the state of affairs until Turkey's disastrous backing of the wrong horse in the First World War, when the Italians, with the help of the Greeks, won it back. Then Italy went bad on them when fascism became popular and it wasn't until the end of the Second World War when British soldiers marched in, giving it back to Greece.

I asked the woman at the entrance to a watchtower where I could find the museum. She had ...
