Lindian Gulf Lindos

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

... 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. <br>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 ...

Hi Everybody !- We are having a great time! So far EVERYTHING has been perfect flights weather people food!!! The food is beyond wonderful!!! I told Phil I've never seen blue or tasted tomatoes before this trip. The water here is mesmerizing. I can't even read a book I just stare at the sea!! I'm so glad I've been able to meet Georgia she's wonderful and also Foula also she's so sweet!!! We're staying in the Old City in ...

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 ...

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

I already miss Mykonos. <br><br>Thursday, Sammy and I went to this very exclusive beach with our Canadian friends called psaru ( i know that's not how u spell it). <br><br>You couldn't even get a beach lounge if you paid them but was amazing to see, beautiful people and amazing bodies!<br><br>On the way we saw a bike accident and thought twice about if we wanted to get back on our bike. We did however go and get bike helmets. <br><br>Friday we started celebrating ...

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>

... as we can figure out the word for coffee, we will survive! The island is quaint, comfy and the streets of old town are like taking a scene out of Robin Hood Men of Thieves, which we wouldn't mind seeing Kevin Costner drawing his sword out from around the corner right now. Unreal, truly unreal. We had a few tears saying good bye to our loved friends, and stepping foot off Turkey, but each new place we arrive at is just another chance to make new friends and see ...

... will stand. The difference between the two is that the churches are still functional and the mosques, on the whole, are falling to pieces. One mosque that we saw was being steadied by timber supports and, were it not for these, I think it would have fallen down. One gets the feeling that the Greeks would be quite happy to let it fall down, were it not for the city being declared a World Heritage Site. I bought a guidebook from a souvenir shop and of the Ottoman occupation it starts "The ...
