Quickie Visit to Rhodes
by doodybee
wow lucky you paul
qe2 & rhodes stop off
wish it were me
well the rhodes bit anyway
if i was you i would get the road train that skirts the old and new town of rhodes - leaves from outside the "town hall" i think just behind the harbour - you will get to see the acropolis and the views around rhodes harbour and its not very expensive go for 8-30 9oclock and then just head into the old town for a wander around - the palaceof the grandmasters will keep you occupied for a good while - there are other touristy type things you can do in there --shops bars etc and make sure you don't get too engrossed or the ship will leave without you
enjoy

Haraki's Castle
by sandysmith
In Haraki is a medieval castle, overlooking the pretty bay. This is Feraclos castle once used by pirates before the Knights ousted them and then reinforced the castle to use it as a prison. There is a path leading up to the castle ruins but I didn't make it up the hill - I was enjoying my sunbed and swimming far too much - perhaps the next time we visit as from the top of the hill there are good views onto Agathi beach another fine secluded beach.

Unbelievable Sunsets off the West Coast!
by M0B1US
We all know that the sun sets in the west, so where better to see a sunset than on the west coast!!?
Still, to my mind the sunset itself is not the only thing that makes for a great sunset, but the setting as well...
So this is why, if you have your own transport, I recommend a purpose-built refreshment stop for your sunset viewing needs on the road between Kritinia and Siana (I think it is south of the turn off to Emponas, but don't quote me!)...
You can't miss it, you'll be driving high up and then on the coastal side there will be a shack and a seating area on the side of the road - just time your drive-by to coincide with sundown and et voila!
The view is of the outlying islands off Rhodes including Alimia and far off Halki...
