Old dogs of Rhodes


Go to any bookshop in the world and you are likely to see a "Cats of Greece" photo book or calendar. I thought I would start my own calender, with old dogs of Greece.

Rhodes must be the place where old dogs come to retire as there are plenty of them, laying about, doing nothing much.

Football Pitch - Rhodes Old Town


Everywhere in Europe you see kids playing football in the most unusual locations due to the lack of urban space. Here the space between two fortified walls has been put to good use as a football ground.

Rhodes - A colossal tourist destination


Rhodes is one of the most visited places in the Mediterranean. During the holiday season there is a different cruiseship in the harbour every day, and a steady stream of charter flights.

The Old Town is a big attraction for visitors, but most come to relax in the 300 plus days of sunshine on one of the many beaches. The Island is big enough to handle the crowds as well.

Old Town Rhodes


The Island of Rhodes in the Dodecanese Islands of Greece if one of the most popular places to visit in all of Greece, and for good reason. The Old Town of Rhodes is one of the best preserved medieval town in Europe. The entire city wall still intact and much of the Old Town is still paved with cobbled stones. The town with its maze like streets are filled with buildings representing all of the historical periods of the Island.

Rhodes is best known for the Colossus of Rhodes, even though there are no remnants to view and its original location is disputed.

Many of the buildings from the Knights' period are still intact, and the Ippoton (Avenue of the Knights) remains relatively unchanged. What makes the Ippoton even more remarkable is that for such a popular tourist spot, there are no trinket shops cluttering the view.
