Old Town Rhodes

May 27, 2016

Today we leave Crete and head for Rhodes. As we walked the boardwalk one more time and had a full English Breakfast I commented that it was like saying good-bye to an old friend. Our decision to stay on Crete for another week was a good one, but now we are ready for another adventure.

After a 45 minute flight and a quick winding taxi ride we arrived in the old city of Rhodes. As we walked through the cobblestone alleyways to our very, very, small accommodations, we realized we had just entered another world.

This island, with the mountains of Turkey in the background, has a more Turkish feel to it then Greek. As was our experience in 2005, they try to get you into their shops in whatever way they can and it gets tiresome.

After a short rest, we head out for dinner: just at the right time 9 pm. We were getting tired of being the only one in the room by going too early.

Tomorrow we explore the Old Town.
