In this final post about my week in Rhodes in Greece I will share lots of photos from my excursion to Rhodes City Centre. Now to get to Rhodes City Center from the little Greek village of Kiotari, where we lived on the island, we had to take the local bus. And because there were a lot of people on the bus and many stops along the way, it took about two hours to get there (one way). But the bus had good air conditioning and I got to sit down all the way, so luckily it was quite a good bus ride.
Now the main events of our excursion to Rhodes City Center was the lovely walk along the beach and the absolutely breathtaking ocean there, eating the traditional Greek food Gyros and our visit to the beautiful Old Town of Rhodes. Of course I had my camera ready in my hand to take photos with all day long! And I definitely used that camera!! Yikes. So after having gone through quite a massive editing process, below are some of the photos I took on My Excursion To Rhodes City Center In Greece.
The bus stop outside the hotel we stayed at in Kiotari, we were not the only ones in excursion mode. ;p
Arrived in Rhodes City Center.
A typical street in Rhodes.
Gas prices in Rhodes. I always think it is interesting to see how much gas costs in different countries, these prices are in Euros.
Another street in Rhodes.
Which lead to this statue...
... and this magnificent ocean!
Such a stunning beach! I so fell in love with these colours!
Ahhh!!! I could have sat here forever.
The beach going north.
The beach going south, which is where we went.
There were lots of people soaking up the sun in Rhodes.
Many felt a bit adventurous in the ocean, while others had second thoughts there...
After a little while we reached the port in Rhodes.
Where there were lots of boats.
So another lovely place to stroll at.
You could actually go on excursions to Turkey with some boats. Or, why not jump on the Love Boat?
But in case you did not feel like going on a boat, you could go on this bus for a ride around Rhodes.
After all this walking though, we got a bit hungry. So we went to a restaurant in the yellow building.
And had the classic Greek dish Gyros, which is sort of like a kebab. I had chicken Gyros in pita with another Greek classic - tzatziki and fries. It was really yummy, though I was not prepared to get two pitas on one plate. Lol! So I certainly got very full. :p
Gyros. A very common sight in Rhodes, you could buy Gyros pretty much everywhere.
Entrance to Old Town in Rhodes.
Entered.
Map over the Old Town in Rhodes, which was a lot bigger than I thought.
And of course the Old Town had guards all over the place. ;-)
There were also lots of charming, narrow streets there.
As well as a bit more modern, wide streets.
Lots of people enjoyed a visit in Old Town.
I even saw a Swedish flag there.
And this place - Swedish Ice Bakery.
Yum! The funny thing is that I actually bought an ice cream here before I noticed that the shop was called "Swedish Ice Bakery".
And the reason I bought an ice cream here was this - Macaroon Ice Cream. Wow! I had never seen that before, and it was super delicious! I especially loved the macaroons in there, not sure what was Swedish about it though? Hehe.
A cute square.
View from the opposite side of the square.
The center piece of the square was this friendly looking fountain.
Where lots of birds hung out and had a drink and chat with each other. :-)
Part of the wall which surround the Old Town in Rhodes, seen from the outside.
Because unfortunately we had to leave the Old Town of Rhodes eventually, and Greece too. So Bye Bye.
I truly did have a great week in Rhodes, beautiful beaches, perfect weather and many charming places to see. It is definitely a place I can see myself returning to in the future. But for now I have been back in, the somewhat more and more fall like, Sweden for over a week. Though it took a few days for me to realize that flip flops were no longer suitable to wear here at home, a bit too cold for my toes, I have now adapted to the weather here. Which has actually been quite nice lately. And of course I reunited with my beloved dog Lisen the same day I returned home, who, yet again, had survived my absence. Hehe.
So it is back to life in Sweden with Lisen and me in my next post - ahhh! It is actually going to be quite nice to return to the present again. Lol. ;-)
But in case you did not feel like going on a boat, you could go on this bus for a ride around Rhodes.
