The Greek people were very friendly and we enjoyed meeting many of them. We stayed in Rhodes Old town at The Spot Hotel, which was an excellent location and good, clean accomodation. Old Town is very cool, although more commercial, crowded and loud at night (from the bars) than we expected. We enjoyed walking/running in the moat. In May, the wildflowers were in bloom in
Rhodes and it was a great time to be in Greece. It was pretty cool at night and hot and breezy during the day. Bring some clothing to keep you warm at the outdoor cafes. We liked the city beach with the diving platform and found many good places to eat.
We spent 2 days in Lindos which was really lovely and had fantastic beaches. Lindos was expensive, crowded, and noisy too (especially the night life, which had music blaring from most of the bars). Despite the noise and busyiness, we loved the beach at Lindos so much that it was a highlight of our trip. Local food was very good and for the most part, reasonably priced. We loved the yogurt and honey in Greece. We also loved dining outside and ate a lot of fish. Since I don't eat red meat, I had a harder time finding non-fish protein than my meat-eating counterparts. Favorite restaurants were Mandala in Rhodes Old Town and Mavrikos in Lindos.
