We’ve lost count of the amount of times we’ve been to beautiful Rhodes Town; the largest town on the Greek island of its namesake, Rhodes. An easy day trip (or longer stay) by catamaran from Fethiye or Marmaris in southwest Turkey, the maze of narrow streets that make up the medieval city of the old …
A recent visit to the Greek island of Rhodes took us up to the wonderfully picturesque village of Koskinou… For years, we’ve been making the short hop across to Rhodes from Fethiye by boat. In days gone by, it once served the purpose of renewing our tourist visa. We would alternate between a day on …
Finally! How many years have we arrived by boat from Kaş to the Greek island of Meis (Kastellorizo) and gazed across to the vertical cliff face that frames the main harbour?

For the traveller craving tranquility, idylls are still very much in existence and Kastellorizo ticks all those …
We had to renew our visas yesterday and what a lovely pre-Christmas outing
