Rhodes, Greece
A bunch of signs have caught my eye lately, so today's page
is mostly signspotting, with emphasis on the variety of languages
that show up in public here..
Lindos is a popular destination for day trips from Rhodes Town.
Rightly so; Lindos was one of the three ancient city-states that founded
Rhodes as the capital of their union in the 408 B.C.
This cruise boat pitches to Germans and Anglophones.
LINDOS, Kallithea, Anthony Quinn, and stuff I don't understand.
This nearby sign isn't in Greek - they are pitching to Russians. I don't
remember whether it is for the same boat. Mandraki harbor is full of
charter yachts offering cruises to Lindos and other destinations in the
Dodecanese islands.
Yes, there is a beach on this island named for Anthony
Quinn!
If you don't care where you go, as long as there is booze and
the opposite sex, you too can be accommodated.
These are two separate, adjacent boats.
I have no idea what this monument represents. The text is hard enough
to read that I have never made the effort. To paraphrase John Lennon,
"Got to be profound, 'cause he's so hard to read."
At the very northern tip of the island!
Finns to the left ...
Finns to the right
(With apologies to Jimmy Buffett)
The buffet may be Greek, but the flags are Danish and Norwegian...
... as befits the name of the establishment.
Finnish without finish, so to speak.
A place to go that's just like home!
Garrison Keillor would be
proud!
Less than a week left here, and I am sitting on well over a hundred
photos, among which are several pages worth that I want to post.
You may be seeing Rhodes pages during slow periods, well after I am gone
from here.
Time will tell!
