Cafeinternet
How you´ll find this cafe:
Near bar street(famous in town) of Rhodes town you ll find hotel Esperia. Put your back to Esperia hotel main door direktion and look forward to left few hundred meters there is Cafe- in, restaurant's cafe.
phone 2241027784. This is not my fondest, but for reason I wrote here,
please here you have........
In Rhodes they don't use so much net than some other countries yet and they are so good facility that they aren´t addicted to daily net. I am not sure if in business should need more also there.
This Internet cafe have several in good conditions pcs.
They worked as well as this lines there could do it.
Use of this cafe´s net was also moderate to compared our hotels one computer.
So , my recommendation.
Don't remember tasty pastries which there are also and my thanks will come to good espresso coffee of this Internet cafe.
Toilet figures downstairs are realistic. See my pics.

Ps. In cafe is free WLAN network.
High Parrot Count
by SallyM
One thing that surprised me about Rhodes was the number of parrots we saw, mostly outside restaurants (perhaps they weren't allowed in...!).
We ended up keeping a daily parrot count for the holiday.
THE DONKEY STATION IN LINDOS
by VikingHarald
Lindos is small, beautiful, historical village in Rhodes islands. Down in village locate donkey station, where are donkeys ready to serve tourists. Donkeys duty is carry tourist up to old castle and Acropolis near Lindos .
When we visited in Lindos 2007 in July was really hot. In the evening we saw after donkeys work day, when they went to rest to their home. Two donkeys came up from donkey station together without control to hill and from there they continued to street and down to their stable and home.
In street was by bike one person leading their street run and gallop to down cooler place.
This was amazing to see when two donkeys galloped happy on the asphalt road ( hope so) down to home.

As you pass a market or corner grocer, how can you resist the many olives, pickles, dried meats and fish, cracked wheat and other grains or the nuts, beans, dried fruits (especialy figs, Raisins and apricots), Herbs, spices and chocolate, Ouzo drenched fig cake wrapped in vine leaves? Honey to add to some greek Yoghurt or some of that delicious Greek Delight. .

Hire a Car!
by M0B1US
The only way to truly experience everything Rhodes has to offer is by car. Without transport, your travel options are severely limited if you want to go anywhere other than the tourist hotspots...
We hired through Holiday Autos on the internet for a cost of just over £10 a day, which is excellent value.
Even though our flight arrived at 1am, for a small extra fee someone was there to meet me at the airport.
The car we got was a small Hyundai Atos WITH AIRCON (you would be insane not to have aircon in Rhodes), which if there are only a couple of you is plenty big enough - in fact plenty small for all those tiny parking opportunities and negotiating Greek traffic jams!
Everything was fine with the car except the flat tyre we suffered!
All I can say is that I'm glad it was a slow puncture and that the tyre went flat after we got back to the apartment!
Normally a flat would be no big deal, but our car was missing the jack ('tire iron!'). So you're thinking, silly boy didn't check everything when he hired the car... Well OK I didn't - but we'd just flown over 3hrs and arrived in a sweltering airport at 1am! The spare tyre was there and pumped but to check for the jack you had to unscrew the tyre from the boot (trunk) first - like [insert rude word here] was I going to do that then! Oh well...
Now, a slight concern is that the 'emergency number' didn't appear to work and we had to wait till the staff at Holiday Autos crawled into work after 10am to get a response. That said, they were round within 15 mins by 'phoning a friend'... ;-)
We made sure we got the jack and a spare - lightning has a habit of striking at least twice I find...
So, make sure you have everything - even if it is 1am and you're tired and hot. And make sure you have that properly 24HR emergency number!
Still, no harm done and it meant we got some time on the beach after all - you could say a blessing in disguise... ;-)
