Sunshine 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 ...

... I am particularly fascinated with the greek army uniforms with the tights and pom-poms!! It just doesn´t fit with the male image of the greek adonis!!! We visited two other monasteries - Varlaam and Aghia Trias. They did not contain such wonderful icons but were special for the view and the entry steps which were very steep and often narrow and cut out of rock. However, I was ...

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>

... around. I walked down a narrow passageway to a cosy courtyard. Some of the doors to the rooms were open and I looked in. I coughed but nobody stirred. I stomped up some crooked stone stairs and found a small roof terrace with views of the cobbled street, and at the end of the street a thin patch of blue sea below the mountains of Western Turkey. The ambience was just right. I made up my mind that we were staying here.<br><br>We fetched our stuff up from the square and sat on the roof ...
