Driving around the Island of Rhodes
We spent a day with a rental car driving the west coast of Rhodes (Ρόδος), all the way down to Prasonisi (Πρασονήσι).
Rhodes
Palace of the Grand Master
The Palace of the Grand Master is an imposing structure with some beautiful mosaic tile floors, among other things. I don’t know why I didn’t come here the first time I was on Rhodes.
Rhodes Town
Staying in the old town was so much more interesting than staying in the new town like I did last time I was here. Much more atmosphere and down at the south end where we stayed it was pretty peaceful. We spent four nights here.
Lindos Acropolis
It’s not THE acropolis in Athens but it is old and beautiful and has beautiful views from the top. And the climb was not as bad as we feared.
Lindos
Lindos was a nice way to get through jet lag. An acropolis to climb to and a beach for relaxing. There were more people than I expected in the village after dark — I thought there would be more day trippers — but not mobbed. We should have made dinner reservations though. We spent three nights here.
