More Terrible Hotels
Actually paid to sleep somewhere that turned out to be less compfy, private or clean than the bench in the park outside? Tell us all about it.
Or perhaps you'd like to boast about getting upgraded to a sea-view suite next door to Stevie Wonder, like my colleague keeps doing? Over and over...

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".
