This is my personal story told with some photos of my experience visiting a beautiful Greek Island known as "Rhodes". There was also a funny incident that happened while exploring the Castle. Which I hope you will find amusing if you read to the end of this article...😀
I will now begin my story... ✍️
My very first visit to Rhodes was on a Mediterranean Cruise back in 2010, but 3 years later we spent a two week holiday there staying in a cheap 2 * Hotel a few miles from Rhodes Old Town. On this particular day we decided to take a coach trip to explore inside the famous Rhodes Castle. The coach climbed the old hilly road up to the main Car Park where we left the coach to begin walking across the long stone bridge to the main entrance.
You can see me here sitting on my stone balls, so to speak 😂
Notice the stone bridge in the background that we walked across. Where I am now sitting is the original moat area that at one time would of been completely filled with water. The moat continues around the entire Castle and would take at least a couple of hours to complete. We walked some of it, but in hot heat and a very stony pathway, it would take some endurance to walk the whole way around it.
As we wondered further around the inside of the old castle I noticed this ancient doorway that seemed to lead to a "Secret Garden" beyond. The exit at the bottom looked intriguing to us both, so we walked down the pathway and through the archway, only to be greeted by a guy who wanted to shine our shoes for money 🤣
What made it more funny was the fact that we were wearing trainers & "Flip-Flops", but he was so insistent that we eventually conceded defeat and just paid him to do his work. Then we just walked away laughing to ourselves 😀
I am not a professional photographer, but I try my best to make my Travel photographs as interesting & attractive as possible 👍
All the Photos were shot with my old Sony DSC-W17 Camera
