Now, I grew up in boats, even got a huge salmon the first time I put out a fishing line at 3! With some help of course, and unfortunately its one of the few things I cannot recall from back then...
So of course I have been watching the ferries come & go during these improvised days, by far preferring that way off than any flight!
The main ferry going to Athens & some random guy swimming
The previous day I had walked all the way to the pier, but then ended up buying the ticket at a travel agent close to the room. Far less hassle than not so easy to figure out websites.
Last morning
I have had a good time, extending day by day was not a problem really, and that is good since I needed a few days to get better.
Turns out doing this Greek, strong liquor on an empty stomach has consequences, but it was free & I got that interesting talk about Northern Greece, how to survive with a couple of sheep and so on.
It was fun, and promising, I could have used that restaurant as a bridehead to get established. But then even Greece is super expensive now...

I feel that I should know who this is, maybe someone can help?
One of the gates of the fortress
I did set aside some time to explore the huge castle a bit, it was interesting using the fisheye for this, some of these hallways and so on suited the extreme rendering well.
Another gate, closer to the ferry pier

Scenes like these work well with a fisheye I think, it both exaggerates but also gives the right impression of the size. It is a massive fortress!
Tourists in the shopping area
It was a busy place with lots of elements to work with, but I did not have the time to work that way. So this will be it from Rhodes itself!
From the harbour
This is of course just a sightseeing ferry, the one I will be on is the main one going all the way to Athens. Not only that, but I booked the one taking longer, which means I will be at sea for at least 23 hours! 😀
That's it for now, next up is lots of Greek islands! #monomad
