Arrived at Rhodes harbour and met by a wonderful young lady whose English was impeccable.
Can't pronounce her Greek name but the sponge shop lads call her " Nancy " .
She showed us around the port area and we all had a meal and a good shop .
The only problem it was far to hot and theres hardly no shade .
The island is picture postcard quality . Really Beautiful and un spoilt .
Ive sunbathed in 46° , but then there was a breeze on Symi there is none , so be warned .
Met a couple of unhappy greek gentlemen on our travels . 5% of the nearly 3000 occupants are all expats from all over Europe including the UK .
This is the island that Tv Doctor Michael Mosley died on in 2024 !.
Could of gone for a paddle to cool down . We looked forward to getting back on the boat and hopefully cooler conditions we were wrong .
