In the morning of October 28, 2006 we arrived at the island of
Rhodes the largest island in the Dodecanese Island Group.

Here are some other views that we
saw from our ship:
We disembarked from the ship and
boarded a bus that took us to the Ruins of Temple of Apollo.
Here are some pictures of what we saw along the bus route:
One of the tours offered
included a "train ride". We were glad we chose the bus.
The folks on board looked uncomfortable.

The rest of our tour was done on
foot. We walked through the gates of Old Town and headed
for the Palace of the Grand Masters. Here are some
pictures of what we saw along the way.
These maps are posted all over
Rhodes Old Town so you know where you are. They are
written in Greek and English.
