In Kallithea? We looked at that.
But the resort looked barren when it came to places to eat out, venture to in a drunken stupor.

It was a short walk to Faliraki
which wasn't spectacular but I did score some weed and the missus found somewhere that sold Strongbow

Faliraki was kinda fun when I was into blur and chlamydia.
Glad you enjoyed it, I love the Greek Islands, if I could retire early and move somewhere a Greek island would be a potential destination.

I went Indiana Jonesing off the beaten path in the caves beneath the Lindos Acropolis
...though the best thing I found was a rock on the beach, with YIUX carved into it, which my friend identified as a shot from one of the Rhodian slingers (from between 400-100BC) - YIUX translates as "Look out!" so it's the ancient world's equivalent of writing "Have a nice day" on the side of a bomb :)

If that's true that's excellent. I hope you still have it.
We did the whole Lindos Acropolis thing. Walking up it in that heat was pretty harsh though, walking down it was even worse. The bay there is lovely for a bit of a dip though.

I didn't even know there were any caves there if I had I would have had a mooch.

If you look back at the acropolis from the bay they're right there - some of them go really deep as well

The slingshot is in my friend's collection of antiquities, accompanied by a little card with my name and "Rhodes expedition, 2014".

Weed and Strongbow?
That's some exotic shit, right there! Must have been a real disappointment when you got back to boring old Britain.

Oh I know, crazy times
The missus only really likes Strongbow for some reason - I can only assume it's because she grew up outside the UK and so never got sick off it as a teenager. It makes holidays a bit of a pain though because we always have to find some expat bar that sells the stuff, while I'm happy with whatever beer the locals drink.
