Rhodos rundt i bil

I går besluttede vi os for at køre lidt rundt på Rhodos på egen hånd. Vi besluttede også at gøre det modsatte af Apollo guidernes anbefaling (vi er vel rebeller!) og kontaktede en lokal biludlejer, Speedway Rent-a-Car. Hel-dags leje fra €35 for den mindste bil, en Huyndai Atos, men vi valgte at gå efter noget …

Going bilingual/flere sprog på vej

Rhodes Road Trip

Yesterday, we had decided to do a little touring of Rhodes ourselves.

Rhodes Road Trip – Kalithea Springs – *****

Kalithea Springs, Municipality of Kalithea, 85100 Kalithea, Rhodes, Greece Visited on May 10th, 2013. Rating 5 out of 5 The quite big entrance to Kalithea Springs does not give much away about what is hidden inside.

Rhodes Road Trip – Lindos – ****.

Visited on May 10th, 2013, rating 4 out of 5 Lindos town poses a postcard perfect opposite to the battered down part of southern Rhodes.

Rhodes Road Trip – Monolithos Castle – *****

Visited on May 10th, 2013. Rating 5 out of 5 Get ready for some mountain climbing as you head through the woods for the Monolithos Castle. It was built in the 1480ies by the Knights of St John as a protective fortification, a very effective fortification one might say, as the castle was never conquered. …

Rhodes Road Trip – Ancient Kamiros – *****

Visited on May 10th, 2013. Rating 5 out of 5 The site outside of ancient Kamiros itself, oozes of the simple and yet wonderful scenario, founding the everyday life of the common Kamirosean(?) thousands of years ago. Lush green mountains and hills on one side, and the blue ocean on the other. Who would not …
