Sun Palace 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.<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'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 ...

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>

... direction we needed to be headed, but somehow got on the opposite side of the port. We eventually made it back to the boat and had a quick lunch. Mandy, Nathan and I went out shopping and exploring the rest of the city after lunch. I got a really neat pillow case/cover here thing and just relaxed. We got some really good ice cream and sat around and talked for a while. We went back to the boat around 4:00 and then set sail to Knossos.

... deck of the ship, speeding away from the port. We seemed to be on the edge of a fortified citadel. As I had already said, we knew nothing of Rhodes, only that it has a bit of a reputation as a party place. But this place didn't seem to be anything like our expectations, however misinformed they may be. Curiosity drew us into the city through an arch in the giant wall and we felt we had suddenly come upon a place of romance and history. Narrow streets, not paved, but made up of patterned ...
