Rhodes was incredible! It is a beautiful example of the preservation of the old. The city is still very much intact and walking the street of the Knights is walking on the oldest stretch of cobblestone in maybe the world. (It is said to beJ) The stones stand on their edge and are very difficult to walk on. The city still bustles inside and the hardest work of the day is to sit at a café with coffee and watch the people or one of the many cats.
We love this Island, the views, the pace and the wonderful way the old did not feel absorbed into the new. We visited a city and old port site and in its ruins one felt very close to the life that must have been. Walking the steps and even entering their courtyards and houses. The Olive trees line the fields and blue morning glories climb the walls.
Our ship seemed somehow out of place in this place.
