I'm currently in London and it has been raining non-stop all day and man do I need some sun! The least I can do is take my memory back to somewhere hot and rain free, Rhodes perhaps.
I visited Rhodes, Greece in late September 2018. Rhodes is my second visit to Greece after Crete and I have totally fallen in love and will be returning for sure. I love the culture, food and the history of Greece and Antient Greece. During my trip to Rhodes I stayed along Ixia Beach with a view of Turkey across the horizon, I also visited other places during my stay. Here are my three favourite things I did in Greece other than soaking up the sun!
Rhodes Old Town is what it is called, it is the oldest town in Rhodes. Filled with old architecture with beautiful restaurants and shops there was so much to explore and take in. After snooping around all the small roads in the Old Town we ate lunch outside at a small restaurant that I didn't catch the name of unfortunately. In the shade covered by an enormous tree we ate fresh calamari and salads with a street musician playing Greek music on his guitar. It was pure bliss. After a long day exploring, gift shopping and enjoying the sea from the port we discussed going on a boat day out. So we booked one!
A few days later setting off from Rhodes Old Town in a small ferry the journey to St George's Bay and Symi began. Breezing through the Mediterranean Sea we reached St Georges Bay. It was beautiful crystal-clear blue sea and I jumped right into it from the ferry. After an hour of swimming in the bay and sun bathing the last leg to Symi was on the way and we arrived. Symi was stunning nothing like I had ever seen before, different coloured houses all on top of each other, it looked like something out of a movie and was so happy to spend a few hours roaming around the place!
On the last full night we went to a Greek restuarant called Hippocampus. One where they smash plates and damn did I have a good time! Greek dancing, music, food and smashing plates, I don't think I could have got anymore of a typical Greek experience if I tried.
