 If faced
with options to prefer the country for vacation, Greece would be a wonderful place
to visit year by year. You will never get tired of it, when you esteem and get
pleasure from the beauty of ancient Hellas, when the cool and smooth water of
salty Aegean Sea caresses your body. Greece offers places of interest to consider the
mythology we all know, thick cream-yogurt with berries, and you have the chance
to get the real olive oil and natural cosmetic products to use for the whole
year away from Greece.
Any of
hundred islands in Greece
has its own unique history, and the only problem is to choose one among them.
Therefore, attractive are Attica, Athenian Riviera and small islands as Cyclades
or Ionian Islands not for tourists and the primeval Athos, and the most Greek
island of all Greek islands is Rhodes.
Rhodes is somewhat
small and incredibly green Island. You may be
sure that once you decided to have your vacation here, on the island,
you will
be offered a hotel to any taste and budget, providing the best comfort
and
conveniences, though you never abuse of it since Rhodes is the place to
enjoy
the unique nature and traditional lifestyles as well as other Greek
islands
boast to offer. Fencing off the nature with the walls of faceless
modern hotel with
the regular comfortable services, you will not acquire a thing but
loose. The fascination
of unexpected relations in Greek taverns and shops, the pride of
stunning discoveries
like the ancient patio twined with roses or the boot-shaped glass mug
with the
coldest and tasteful Greek beer called so much expressively Mythos.
Relaxed, plain,
wholesome and at the same time vibrant and attractive village life will
seize you.
Join to the ancient history, and look at the small piece of remained
Аcropolis, the old amphitheatre, the
acoustic of which was arranged in the way for the speaker to speak loud
enough
to be heard by anyone without shouting. People of old times had to
think of many things that wesolve with the plain microphones now.
The old city
Rhodes is the place of brick and blocks and it
is ornate with endless open terraces of numerous cafes where waiters invite
visitors in all languages and silent but juicy expressive shrimps and langoustine.
You may taste international steak or the Greek meze: you will be offered dolma,
meatballs-kefkedes, the rabbit, moussaka with aubergine and tomatoes. In any case,
the process of choosing is the good prelude to the meal, and you may choose
from the menu that is at the entrance. If you order lobster and it is
immediately served, run away from the restaurant, it means only that the
lobster has been frozen.
The taverns
practice the right approach when they are ready to take the order 24 hours
before you get your meal with the purpose to take the freshest food products at
the morning fish market. As for the traditional Greek salad, be ready to see chopped
carrot or even the cabbage apart from feta, olives, greens and juicy tomatoes,
since the authentic name of the salad is «horiatiki», cottage salad which means
that all the best greens and vegetables will be combined in this salad.
After a meal,
take an active rest. Rhodes offers wonderful surfing
services at empty windy beaches, though there are silent sandy bays for the
comfort relaxation and rest with kids.
Car rent services
are common on the island, and you opt for the desirable model of vehicle to visit
the monastery in Lindos, the valleys of tropic butterflies, the busy and noisy «clubbing»
part Faliraki aka Greek Ibiza. You may take a small trip throughout the city Rhodes on the excursion train for 7 Euros within 45
minutes in the open wagon accompanied with remarks of the English speaking
guide. The amount of 7 Euros includes some water and fruit juice.
If you fall
to the category of citizens of megalopolis, who are ever busy and
benefit from
shopping only during the vacation, Rhodes is
more than the appropriate place for you. You will find expensive firm
stores
and many-coloured scattering of noname treasures, as bright bijouterie,
bags, purses,
kerchiefs and pareo, and light summer shoes. After the shopping you may
go andhave a rest in a Greek coffee house. Taking into account that
coffee is popular in Greece,
you will be offered approximately thirty kinds of coffee even in the
small house,
from cosmopolitan espresso to abundant frappe made with chocolate,
vanilla
cream and grinded biscuit.
If you gain
some weight while resting on the Rhodes, your
memories and the things you've seen and tried and tasted are more impressive to
come back here again and again.
