A short October trip to the Island of Rhodes (Greece)

[Flutterby]

Nice train!

Such beautiful views...and you saw a cuckoo!!

We've been on one of those cruises and I have to say I loved it!!

[Lisbeth]

As I said....to each her own! You are not the only one, probably there are fewer of my opinion. Luckily we do not all think it alike

[Richprins]

Loving this!


Still can't find any litter?

Agreed on local flights, BC...a couple of dops before you leave, and one on board and before you know it it's over!

I could do a cruise ship, I think? Some privacy, fresh air, and apparently fascinating food pics to be had...just saying...

Regarding KTP/Addo TR's, Lis...fair question!

I simply don't have the time? Kruger is my first love, and I can't even get to all of those!

Will try better!

[Richprins]

Are these "naughty" beaches? Thought I saw something?

[Lisbeth]

No they are not There is one somewhere, I think.

Love the train Lisbeth

Some great views of the town and the harbour guarded by the antelope

I am enjoying this very different TT

Yes you are right about people not reading 'other' TT

I must admit I try very hard to get around to most items, then if I am away for a while
to catch up is very difficult for me. I don't have time to sit on the Forum for hours

[Lisbeth]

Pooky, I have seen how you are moving around My lament was certainly not aimed at you

[Lisbeth]

The hot springs of Kalithea is known since antiquity for its beneficial health red water that gushes from the rocks.
The unique architecture and monumental grandeur of space with its unique mosaics, the Hall Rotunda where once you could see the thermal waters gushing, the Terrace and every corner of Kalithea Springs nostalgically refer us to another era.
Today Kallithea Springs is a UNESCO unparalleled beauty and unique architecture, unique natural beauty, with a presence in the community, high level events and conferences intense cultural activity (artistic exhibitions etc.). (Must be a Google translation )

Old abandoned thermal building



The Terrace



Unfortunately the SPA and the Hall Rotunda were being renovated when we were there, but the restaurant and the beach were open

The entrance





We only paid an entrance fee of €2.00 (R25). The very comfortable sunbeds, umbrellas etc. were free. You were only asked to drink or eat something. I had a delicious fruit shake with lots of tiny fruit pieces. Fa had an ice cream.....it was still morning



We had the first two sun beds in the first row. The weather had been slightly covered in the early morning and we were very lucky to find something still free. At least that was what we were told.

The restaurant



I found a friend of Toko’s among the stones and a beautiful hibiscus, when I went for a small walk





View from my sun bed......it would have been better without the “beauty” in the foreground



"The bar"



A boat coming in for a swim





The "bar" from another viewpoint

[Lisbeth]

It was getting later and more people had turned up. No more sun beds around.

On the left you can see one of the springs that runs into the bay. The ones with the red water are closed or do not exist any more





After a nice swim we had a toast and a glass of the local “cold ones”. Their beer is nothing special, but they have a delicious white wine, or did I already tell you



It had been a very nice relaxing day

Coming up next some more very old stones
