Lindos Star

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 ...

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 ...

... our day over it was time to catch our ferry to Athens. On our budget we chose the cheapest ticket available. Which means "Deck." But unfortunately for us what we didn't realise was that this means it is the only place on board were you can smoke. So the rest of the night with the lights on and us trying to get a nights sleep on our hard plastic benches, we breathed in the refreshing air of smoke. Shona has now got a smokers cough. <br><br>This is going to be a tough couple of days.

... good looking. <br><br>After dinner we came back to our room for a quick pit stop and were greeting by a b day cake !<br><br>After singing happy birthday we then attempted at 1:30am to go the ministry of sound party at paradise club. 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 ...

... ride was an experience mainly because of the sheer cliff faces that seemed like only inches off the side of the road. Once at Oia we had to have lunch with that spectacular view. For 20 Euros we experienced something we will never forget. The same situation back home would have cost at least $200AUD. All in all I'd say my favourite place. On the way back down the hill we took the Cable Car. The best 4 Euros I think I've ever spent.

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>

... br>After eating breakfast at the cafe we knew that this place was far too nice to just skip past. We were supposed to be going to Marmaris in Turkey, which would entail at least a one night stay. But we had been to poor old Marmaris two years ago on our honeymoon. It was the port where we had hopped onto a wooden Turkish gullet and sailed along the southern Mediterranean coast. But Marmaris has little to offer other than cheap tourist developments, tacky discos and ingratiating 'Tomy ...
