 View from the airplane over
the Greek Islands by Fam.Rauca, 4 more photos
The sea with its diverse blue tones and the many islands with mountain and waters, which appear minutely under our eyes, create together a wonderful picture.
From approximately thousand Greek islands, only approximately hundred are lived constantly.
Here live just one million people.
The Greek Islands are pooled in groups:
East Aegean
Cyclades
Dodecanese
Ionian
Saronic

To go on this island is a very good opportunity to get to know the Greek world.
There, one can learn all about country and people, from tradition to history.
With a rented moped or car, one can view the whole island.
Our accommodation was in Faliraki, a station with a splendid, 4 kilometres beach, 15 kilometres far from the capital.
We rented a scooter for three days, and we have done very beautiful trips.
First day, we drove from Faliraki, to Rodos City.
From Faliraki we came to Kallithea, a station at the sea, with thermal springs.
On the East coast, to a distance of 5 kilometres south of Rodos City we come to Koskinou.
Then, we applied for to Rodos city. The capital is in Northeast of the Island.
This city is an open air museum, a collection of old and new, from tradition and modern, from history and present.
Because we found the city so super, we came again after a few days there, with the bus. Leave a Comment

Rhodes is the largest island of the Dodecanese and lies at the southern end of this archipelago.
It has an Area of 1400 sq. kilometres (78 kilometres in length and 38 kilometres in width).
The coastline of Rhodes with a length of 220 kilometres has large strands and natural harbours.
The interior of the Island is mountainous.
We saw these superb mountains and we were captivated about the whole landscape.
The highest mountains, Attavyros, are 1215 metres.
“The Island of the Sun”, has a Mediterranean climate, and 300 sunshine days per year.
Rhodes is an attraction for the tourists and an excellent habitat for more than 100,000 persons, which live here. Leave a Comment

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.

medieval years. Leave a Comment

 Good ice cream by gilabrand
The few vegetables sold in the shops all over the island were shriveled, half-rotten, and grossly overpriced. With much effort, I was able to pick up a few reasonable looking tomatoes. The buffet breakfast at our hotel did not offer anything remotely fresh. The closest to anything resembling fruit or vegetable were olives and sliced canned peaches.
On the other hand, a restaurant on the main street that runs through Kremasti (outside Rhodes Town) prepared a baked vegetable casserole for me. It consisted of layers of darkish looking vegetables. It was hard to tell, but I think it contained eggplant, zucchini, onion and peppers. Whatever it was, it was tasty. Anyhow, we were so charmed by the waitress and her answers to our questions about Rhodes history (October 28, 1944, when Rhodes stood up to the Nazis, was the “day of the Big No,” she said) that food really played a secondary role.
All in all, I did not go hungry in Rhodes. The salty feta cheese and plump Greek olives were nice, the pizza was fine, and I adored the ice cream. Leave a Comment
