Hotel Luca Cypria 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.

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

... But they were our first ruins, so we enjoyed them anyway. The best part about the area was that we were all the way on top of the island, and could see for miles down the coast in either direction.
We zig-zagged our way down the hill and back into town, rewarded ourselves with a glass of wine at a local cafe. We were excited to try our first greek restaurant, and even ...

... built in the 1300's we wanna stay. Foula's looking for a place for us! :) It's like something you would think Disney made but it's REAL!! We spent 2 days in Athens with Georgia in her apt. went on a day trip to Cape Sunyo. Spent yesterday on the beach. Back to the beach today not sure what we'll be doing the rest of the week. We decide when we wake up. Gotta go miss you all . More soon... :) will send pictures soon.

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 ...

After a quick breakfast, we headed off to the port to catch our 9am ferry to Rhodes, but it looked like everyone else in Fethiye had the same idea. The boat was full of those annoying package holiday makers on a day trip to Rhodes.

After a rough ride, we bought our tickets to Athens (Rhodes to Athens €53 each, one way) and had the whole day to spend in Rhodes before our next ferry departed.

Rhodes was famous worldwide in the ancient world for the Colossus of Rhodes ...

it was my first time to Rhodes island!. thats new for me!! actually
only done a day excursion in 2007. so my flight from London Gatwick to
Rhodes was a late evening flight. I traveled with two of my friends Ben
and Neil!. but it was a late flight 22:50hrs Saturday 5th September .
the flight was good. we arrived in Greece at 5:30am Greek time. by the
time we got to our ...

... y Bday. We went to this lovely beach during the day and then again with our Canadians went to this sunset party at a bar which was up the top of this hill ( and yes we had to hike up). It was amazing, the view was just beautiful and you watched as the sun set into the water. As soon as the sun went down there a drag show and go go boy dancing. It was so much fun, although I do think we were nearly the only girls up there ( real ones at least) they were all gay and ...

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.

... tunnel. We had to go out a small window-like hole to get out. I found that whole thing quite exciting. The rest of the day we spent walking around the old medieval town. The streets were all cobblestone and the walls were lined with crests of knights. It was really nice to have a free day and just walk around and explore on our own. The castle was interesting and fun to see without a tour guide anyway.

August 28th - Rhodes, Greece

I awoke at half past three. We were docked at some large town - and had been for some time. Was this Rhodes ? I ran down to the lower deck looking for someone to ask, anyone. But the ship was deserted. I caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror. I looked like the Wild man of Borneo, I thought. Eventually I found a man in a blue suit who dismissed my worries and told me to go back to sleep. I went back to my snug spot on the oily deck and dreamed I was ...
