Ramblings from Rhodes: Where Are You Monte?

Where Are You Monte?

Staggered as I am that quite a few of my friends and readers have as yet never visited the Rhodes Acropolis, formerly known as Monte Smith (see previous post "Alas Poor Doric" and some of the comments on it), maybe this will help.

Monte Smith and the stadium are both clearly marked...

Great, John, that's helpful. No excuse for putting off a visit any longer!

Hi John! No idea where you got that map from. The "Hospital" on Papalouka really baffled me. I presume it relates to a structure long gone? I would recommend "Google Earth". Using your map the structure of the ancient stadium is easily located on the GE picture. In reality I guess a lot of people will be going by taxi anyway so it is not a problem. There is a MAP of Rhodes in a green cover with the magic letters GPS on it. All other maps are so inaccurate as to be hazardous. I have lost count of the tourists in cars and on quadbikes I have seen looking at "Rhodos Gold" in puzzlement. That "map" in particular is a disaster!
(Just a tip for those hiring a car.)

Having Rhodean Withdrawal symptoms?

The perpetrator

I was born in Bath UK in the 1950's and married a half-Greek girl many moons ago. We re-located to Rhodes in August 2005. My wife's mother was from Athens and married a British Serviceman whilst still there just after WW2. Following the birth of my sister-in-law, they re-located to the UK in the early 1950s.

I have always been interested in the arts and creativity, which is why I enjoy writing and making music (albeit with dubious results!).

Further down this column you'll find a section entitled "Browse thru older posts...", where you'll find anecdotes and experiences, plus loads of photographs of Rhodes [many taken during wintertime] and other parts of Greece that we've visited over the years.

The Pages:

Home: Read the latest post or any of those that have gone before.

News and Stuff: Odds and sods which I think the reader may be interested in. Not long enough to become a "post".

Stay: A list of links and info about places to stay on Rhodes for the independent holidaymaker.

Play, Eat, Visit: Where to find activities, plus a list of tavernas and bars here on Rhodes which I've reviewed elsewhere on the blog, together with links to those posts where the reviews appear, as well as to external links about the places listed. At the bottom a section with info about other more far-flung Greek islands (with links where possible) that we've visited during the past four decades or so to give the reader ideas as to where else to go to find the real Greece.

Nearby Islands: If you'd like to visit one or more of those islands whilst holidaying on Rhodes, or to use Rhodes as a base from which to "hop" to smaller islands in the area. There's a brief resumé of each island with some helpful links.

Links: A selection of links to loads of other Greek and Rhodean sites. Other stuff too that may interest ageing hippies. Plus some ideas for things to do or places to go in the UK.

Attractions: Tourist attractions here on Rhodes, packed with links to other sites where you can learn more about each of them.

Rhodes Τrivia: Lots of stuff you always wanted to know about the island of Rhodes, from statistics to name-meanings, to stuff about places to the climate in wintertime.

Thanks for your visit. I hope you'll be back again.
