Yesterday we visited Rhodes town and walked the walls. Luckily it was not a hot day today. We were told the walk would take 20minutes, which it might. But for us it took longer as it was very interesting we kept stopping to look at the views and the defensive structure. It was well worth the effort. It also leads you into a less touristy part of the town too. Which was also good to see.

We were so surprised to find very little information about this site. It is truly amazing and well worth a visit. We got a taxi up to the Acropolis and spent a little over an hour exploring the site. Our kids (aged 7 & 10) loved it as well. The stadium in particular is fabulous. We then slowly walked back down to our hotel stopping en-route for refreshments. It was a lovely way to spend a morning.

Built by the Knights in the 15th century and strategically positioned at the end of a mole guarding the harbour, is this imposing old fortress - now a lighthouse. The fort is closed to the public, although one of the old fishermen did tell me that the fort is open at certain times during the summer when special tours take place. Nevertheless, it’s a beautiful structure and well worth visiting. Early morning, just as the sun comes up and sets off its beautiful earth tones, is probably best time to visit. Fewer people around as well.

In my opinion the old Stadium is one of the best thing in Rhodes city till now. It’s about 200m long track that I think was used for chariot races,fights and other games. The stadium is about 27min walk from the central bus station. You would think it’s only archeaogical site but the place is much more than a site in fact it’s like a small community where people use it as place to relax where they drink coffee, talk to each other, have fun, even Training some people run around for 5 rounds or more. There daily training. It’s in a nice location surrounded with trees and on a hill there is a very refreshing breeze. Worth going to even if you don’t stay in Rhodes city.

Alexander Diakos was a Greek military commander during the Greek War of Independence . The Greeks love him .....It looks down on the Harbour - as Staues go it is not overly wonderful BUT that's not the point . He is treated with respect .... I liked to sit on a bench near him and watch the world go by and I get the feeling that if it wasn't for people like him I wouldn't be able to sit there in peace without some Fascist kicking me and asking me for my papers ... Good for him ....I loved sitting down there ....
