Lindos – May 21, 2023 We had heard that the harbor at Lindos was an excellent stop along the coast of the island of Rhodes so one of our many plans was to stop there for a night and explore the Acropolis of Lindos. As always, plans must remain fluid and with our purchase of a new dinghy and waiting for the delivery of it until Monday, we found that there was a bus that we could take to Lindos. This now gave us the flexibility of being able to sail past Lindos and get further down the island when we leave the Rhodes marina. With this in mind we had a new plan. When we checked the bus schedule, we found that there was a bus that would leave Rhodes at 6:45AM and get us ... read more

A long Eid break and I was certainly not going to spend a single day in hot Kuwait. I packed my bags and planned a trip to two places in Turkey and 2 places in Greece which became a delightful three. Here is a story of my Mediterranean summer trip. The pre booked taxi was late and it was my good fortune because I hailed a taxi at half the cost! I took Pegasus flight to Istanbul. I got out and took a visa on arrival; an air-conditioned Havas bus to Taksim and voila! I was in the trendy European side of Istanbul. The free walking tour started at Hippodrome, covering Hagia Sofia (church turned mosque turned museum), an Egyptian oblique transported by Constantine from Egypt, a fountain donated by German king, Topkapi Sarayi (the palace ... read more

Gün 04 günlerden Pazar : Stegna'ya biraz erken varmışız... temizliğin tamamlanmasını beklerken, millet denizi denedi . Bugün Stegna denizi felaket …önce kirli sonra hafif dalgalı .. Kızlar çıkmakta zorlanıyor .. Öğlen zili çalınca lokantaya kurulduk .. Bu arada Stegna sahipleri ve ahçıbaşı sökün etti ..sarıldık sarmalandık ..yemek hizmet kalitesinde gözle görülür bir hız sağlandı.. Müthiş yemekler ısmarladık . Bugün Rodos ta son günümüz giderek açılıyoruz.. Öğleden sonra Stegna’da hiç rastlamadığım bir kalabalığa tanık oluyorum.. Anladığım kadarı ile Kozas bayağı ünlenmiş.... artık gelecek gelişlerde, yeni yerler bulmak şart oldu galiba .. Son derece ,neşeli yemekten sonra ,otele dönmenin zamanı geldi. Bu akşam yemeğe çıkılmayacağı deklare edilince, bizi bir hüzün kapladı ..neredeyse zafiy... read more

Issy says that we need some exercise, so we decide to walk into Lindos which is about two kilometres from the hotel. If yesterday was anything to go by I think Issy's heart would get more exercise if we drove. It's very hot. The only way from the hotel to Lindos is along the main coast road. It's very busy and there are no footpaths. We start walking on the narrow strip of road between the edge of the traffic lane and the crash barrier. There are lots of buses on the road, and they don't seem all that keen on sharing the bitumen with us. Issy soon decides that this is too dangerous so we cross to the other side of the road where we can walk along the bottom of a concrete drain outside ... read more

The hotel's full, but we're just about the only people at breakfast. It seems that the hotel's rich and famous guests either aren't into breakfast, or don't mind forking out for room service. A very fit looking middle aged German lady is doing laps of the pool next to where we're sitting. I think she might be trying to make us feel guilty. We've booked a taxi to take us in to Rhodes Town, where we've booked a half day walking tour. It's good to see the road in daylight. It's also good to see it when we don't have our hearts in our mouths as we did when we came here two nights ago with our lunatic taxi driver. We meet our contact, who introduces himself as George Papadopolous, which I think is the Greek ... read more

Issy's been reading the blog. She asks me if I'm going to write that this morning I slept in. I remind her of author's prerogative. We sleep in. We move into our downgraded room. It's only slightly smaller than the suite, and the only other noticeable difference is that it has a chair instead of a couch. It is however higher on the hill, and has a better balcony and view. Issy says she likes it, so I think I may have narrowly escaped divorce yet again. I ask Issy if she notices any differences between our downgraded room and the suite. She says that the toilet door opens outwards instead of inwards. I hope this isn't going to be a big issue. The hotel looks very new and much posher than we're used to, and ... read more

Issy hasn't slept well. She says she was kept awake by the noise of the lift doors. The lift doors are certainly very annoying. They're right outside our room and they've been opening and closing all night every night we've been here, even when there's seemingly no one around to press any of the buttons. We've been trying to get around this by sending the lift back to the ground floor every night just before we go to sleep. This works for a while until someone else on our floor comes back to their room, and it seems that a resident of our floor is always the last guest back to the hotel every night. Issy says that if the next hotel has bad wifi, no bar fridge, and a noisy lift, she'll be divorcing me. ... read more

LINDOS, RHODES, 21.10.14. Beautiful weather. Today we took the public bus to Lindos, the most historic site on Rhodes. It is renown for its Acropolis built to honour the Goddess Athenia. Built BC., it is largely in ruins, however a few columns have been reconstructed to evidence the structures that stood there over 2000 years ago. It is also said to have the best islands' view, clearly a subjective opinion of the guide book author, although it was exceptionally scenic. Pleased we took the bus rather than hired a vehicle, as the distance wasn't long, although it took 90 minutes, the road was narrow, and at times even narrower due to the haphazard nature of the vehicle parking. The route showed very barren land, a few olive plantations, goats and some mediocre construction. Lindos is also ... read more
