Here's a holiday snap from a week spent on Rhodes.
The day we got to our luxury coastal hotel (Atrium Palace at Kalathos - very nice: lots of pools, lots of marble) it had a perfectly tidy sign at the entrance. The following evening, out for a look around, we discovered it had been modified in the manner shown above.
Greeks always seem to have been very enthusiastic drivers.
For the benefit of anyone thinking of going to Rhodes, here is my considered opinion:
Overall, there are more attractive Greek islands. However... in terms of history it's fantastic. On what other island would you be able to see something like the acropolis at Lindos and the medieval fortified town of Rhodes itself?
As a footnote, 36 hours or so after getting back, I am still wondering: the idea of a holiday as something from which you return refreshed... where did that come from?
Presumably it pre-dates air travel, and certainly charter flights that get in at three or four in the morning.
As a second footnote: if you have been to Greece before, but not for a few years, forget the idea of Greece as a cheap holiday destination when it comes to food, drink and all the rest. It isn't any more.
