Giverny Monet house
Welcome to Normandy, a French province in the north full of greenery, good cheese, and wine that also houses a few towns not to be missed along with Giverny Monet house. It takes a two-hour train ride from Paris to get to the town that became popular as the place where Joan of Arc was […]
Places to visit in Paris
If you are looking for places to visit in Paris that are not the usual attractions, you are in the right place. Especially if you like the work of Baudelaire and Sartre or any other artist that was spending time in the city during the 19th and 20th centuries. Why? Because when I visited for […]
Things to see in Paris
So, let me begin with things to see in Paris. The first memory of my first journey to France in 2003 is related to the unusual heat. Sure, it was August, but that part of Europe was actually hit by a tropical wave that made the weather – unbearable. That could not slow me down, […]
My first trip to France
Every time I remember my first trip to France, I always smile and feel a bit proud. Sure, I did see all the landmarks and fell in love with the country, but I also had such an alluring itinerary (made one myself!), that I would probably do all over again if I were to visit […]

If you are into vacations with a lot of things to explore, interested in falling in love with yet another wonderfully […]
Things to do in Symi
Here are the things to do in Symi that one shouldn’t miss when coming to Rhodes due to its proximity. The island of Symi was on my list when I came to Rhodes Greece right next to all those places to visit on the island like Lindos, Prassonissi, and Kamiros. I booked a boat trip […]
Kamiros Rhodes and more
Ancient Kamiros Rhodes is another stunning site that I was about to see after driving from the capital to Prassonissi along the east coast and heading back along the west side of the island. I didn’t really know what to expect since everybody was always praising the other, the eastern coast, because of the calmer […]
Tsampika Monastery and more
Tsampika Monastery is one of the things to see in Rhodes Greece and I was planning on taking a road trip around the island. I did a couple of lovely trips and walking tours – through Rhodes city and to Lindos (Things to do in Lindos), but I wanted to see more. It was when […]
Top things to do in Lindos
Here are things to do in Lindos, an extremely important town on this Greek island. I loved rushing around its narrow alleys among white-washed houses; climbing up to Lindos Acropolis; plunging into the turquoise sea at the very cove where, they say, Apostle Paul disembarked once; and entering the 14th-century church. So, here are my […]
Best beaches in Rhodes
It’s time to head over to some of the best beaches in Rhodes. We visited a few historical locations so far and learned a couple of myths in previous posts, but even though there is still a lot to come, it’s time to take a break. I am sure you will agree after checking out […]
The knights of Rhodes
After so many things I already read and heard about the knights of Rhodes, I was impatient to take a tour around the Old Town of the capital city, the fortified town they built centuries ago. Our walk began at the small Mandraki Harbor, a nice pedestrian path next to the sea and a bustling […]
Colossus of Rhodes, things to know
If you ever wondered about the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the seven ancient wonders of the world, here are a few things that I learned about it on this Greek island. “Look, there, you see those two pillars with a deer and a roe deer on the top, on opposite sides of the harbor […]
Rhodes weather: When to go
Here are a few details you need to know about the Rhodes weather. I had a day or two to relax upon coming to the island and decided to spend it on the beach and stroll around the town’s narrow streets. They say that on the eastern part of the island the Mediterranean Sea is […]
Mythology of Rhodes Greece
The moment you step onto the soil of Rhodes, it’s immediately clear why they call it the Island of the Sun. The clear sky, the unreal sea color that ranges from turquoise to dark blue, high waves that seem to send out the message that you have come to the place so alive, where nature […]
Let’s go to Rhodes Greece
I have been exploring Rhodes Greece for a couple of days before I started this new series of travel glimpses that will make you want to discover the island yourself. The summer was almost there (I was writing this at the beginning of June) and it was already 28 degrees Celsius on Rhodes Greece. But, do […]
