... and their layout allows the imagination to flow while providing the necessary historical background for our education. The story is that the Cyclops built these amazing structures for Perseus and it is easy to believe when you walk through the massive Lion's Gates. The same gates Alexander the Great once walked through in 350 BCE. The great greece king Agamemnon the Trojan war and of Homers Iliad and Oddessy originated here. His mask was found in the 1920's and is proudly displayed in ...

... ice cream cone and another gyro, and called it an early night. The following day, I was planning on taking a longer trip to visit Mystra, one of the best-preserved Byzantine sites in the Peloponnese. But after chatting with a Brazilian guy on the bus to Mycanae, I found out that he'd just been there and most of the site was closed for restoration, so I decided to postpone my visit there until my next trip to Greece (which means I have to come back ...

... in Rhodes. I spent my time in Rhodes getting lost in Old Town, relaxing on another beach, and at Trinton Holiday agency where it took some time booking my next hotel in Kos but I was rewarded with some great service from the workers there. After a short ferry to Kos, I arrive at the hotel and began my stay in Kos Town. I rented a bike one of the days and peddled around island (it ıs described as a smaller version of Rhodes ...

We took many photos of the boat at that stage, since there's not much to see or do in Kimi in mid-september, let's be honnest. A few are displayed here, among others you will appreciate the original 1964 life raft, one we're happy we didn't have to use ;-) (we were close twice though). Also, I remember we had a party that night and I still excpect your pictures, Tony ! No censorship accepted !
