In February 2009, the riders of the Oxbow team went to Greece for a rather unusual snow trip. Tourism in the country is often limited to its archaeological sites and its sun-drenched islands and beaches, but we often forget that the continental part of Greece is actually the extension of the Balkan’s range, which is the southern end of The Alps. Despite the weather tantrums caused by the local gods, here is a little visit to the mountainous and wintry part of the country.

Entry from: Rhodes, Greece
Entry Title: “Greek Isles”

The next few blogs are of separate trips that we did: Sue to Rhodes in the Greek Isles (on her list of “must-do’s!” for many, many years) and The Hague in the Netherlands (something she didn’t DARE hope she could one day do), and John to Istanbul and Gallipoli in Turkey, a place I have always wanted to visit to acknowlege the great sacrifice given by so many there.
We both flew out from London Heathrow and the 16th of November and returned to Heathrow on the 22nd of November so we have had to fiddle the dates in between to get details of both trips into the same blog. So Sue flew London-Athens-Rhodes/Rhodos-Athens-Amsterdam (train to and from The Hague)-London.

Rhodes (Rhodos) is situated between the Black Sea and Egypt and is one of the most popular destinations in the Greek Isles apparently. Rhodes is perhaps most famous for one of the Seven Wonders of the World – The Colossus of Rhodes. The island of Rhodes (Rhodes city is on the northernmost tip) is at the crossroads between Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and because of its position in major sea routes, is rich in history. It has four harbours! – and has been inhabited since 4000BC.
The taxi driver told me that most of the tourist places on the island were closed from the end of the September till next May, and indeed they were – he pointed out all the buildings in darkness as we drove by. Everyone was exhausted and needed a break too, he said. I was the only tourist he knew of that was here. I think there were people from places nearby, but not from further afield. I was beginning to wonder at the wisdom of coming here at this time of the year…. but I was happy to be able to meet the locals rather than vie for standing room among hordes of tourists. He said none of the locals swim this time of year as it’s too cold – around 16/19 degrees during the day.
The hotel was right on the beach and my room had a ninety degree view of the ocean and it was wonderful to be able to hear the waves break onto the shore and smell the lovely salty air again. The taxi driver assured me that crime was non-existent and it was safe to walk around at any time of the day and night on my own. I certainly took advantage of that and enjoyed my evening walks along the beach pathways before and after dinner! I got lost a few times but I needed the exercise, so all was well.
The next day I quickly made my way through the New Town (more modern part – which is just like any other town in any other country) and then spent the rest of the day discovering the Old City (the Old Town as the locals now call it). It was fascinating!! I could have spent a week there! I made friends with a lovely old dog on the way, and to my surprise, found he faithfully followed me for the next couple of hours!! He knew his way around, obviously…. and I was quite chuffed to have found a ‘friend’ but the cobbled streets eventually defeated him.
The Old Town is the largest preserved medieval settlement in Europe and has been inhabited without interruption down to the present time and is completely enclosed in a thick, 6km long wall. No doubt bits of the wall have been built/repaired at different times, by whoever was “holding fort” at the time, but the earlier Byzantine city was extended and the walls fortified by the Knights of St John in the 14th and 15th centuries, creating the medieval city we see today.
The Old Town is included in UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. I grinned my way around the cobbled streets, magnificent buildings of the Knights of St John, a moat and walls with their ramparts, the Byzantine churches and mosques, the squares, the gardens and the courtyards of the houses, The Grand Masters Palace and a Museum and Art Gallery…. and lots and lots of stalls/shops. I was lucky that a large ship had brought in some tourists for the day so, by arrangement, a select number of shops and restaurants were open. Otherwise, it would have been all shut.
The next day I went to Lindos by bus (about an hour’s trip) and everything there WAS …”
