Rhodes was an interim step between the hustle of the Rick Steves tour and the next week of leisure on our own. Took a large chunk of time to get here Saturday, a two hour taxi ride, a 50 minute ferry to Kos, a 4 hour layover in Kos, a 2.5 hour ferry to Rhodes. In the evening we strolled inside the old city walls amongst the cruise ship oriented shops. Next morning after a rough night in a hot hotel room on a noisy street we walked the old town again, and in the light, relative coolness and lack of commercial hawking going on, we really enjoyed the fortress and its interior. Towards the end of the day we flew to Chania via Athens. It was funny to watch the airline crews trying to serve beverages and nuts to all passengers and then collect the garbage, all within the 35 minute flights. They have to hustle.
