Holidays of your Dreams in Rhodes........

Holidays of your Dreams in Rhodes.A reality that makes you come back again……

First of all I would like to congratulate holiday makers who have made the decision to visit Rhodes island for their vacations and most of all those tourists who finally choose Rhodes island for 14 nights at least.Whatever the option,one week or two and more, what is left on tourists mind is the experiences and the emotions about Rhodes when coming back to their own reality at homes where they have to follow a routine, which is not easy or a nice feeling to come in touch with,but this is LIFE.We follow a system and based on that we need to prioritize our habits and set plans.It is vital then to plan holidays somewhere when the situations and circumstances allow us to act on that way,so we can charge our batteries.

By being in Rhodes for holidays you need to be generous about your self and estimate that money spent for holiday pleasure is priceless.To come on that point,money enough on your wallet is important to enjoy your holidays in the island and Rhodes gives  many choices about how much you should spend approximately.So have more money for your safety is important despite of the budget that each holiday maker has made for travel expenses.Whatever the budget that is low or high, and it depends from the Hotel facilities,flights rental cars and so on,all the other expenses is a personal choice and a combination of what is offered in Rhodes.They can choose expensive offers or low  and great value for their money offers.That doesn’t mean that a low offer choice gives them bad quality service but sometimes these offers are better than the expensive ones.Have a look at the market and choose carefully a tour guide in Rhodes through local travel agents and compare the prices, if you care about the money spent every time you plan to make visits in Rhodes on different places around.

So have this on mind and after you prioritize Holiday plan,tourists should of course get the full advantages of the comforts wherever they stay and they deserve to act like that, cause is something they want before coming here and have paid for this.So what about places to visit in Rhodes and with what kind of actions you should take and become a part of these as long you are in Rhodes?           

Well take it easy,enjoy the pristine beaches,the blue ocean,the comforts of the hotel and there will be unfolded as walking closed to your area or a walk in the city of Rhodes a variety of tour activities you can choose.The tour packages which are offered are organized and have a schedule and a plan, so these can give you the best impressions about the island of Rhodes and aim to take action and spend another tour around the island by visiting new attractions or propose to get a boat trip and visit one of smaller islands closed to.By doing so, you will see how beautiful the island is and the amazing combination between the villages,the hills or mountains and the view of the sea.The natural beauties in Rhodes gives the impression of a miracle as if these are very closed and harmonized and the small communities like villages gives the best quality when its mixed with the culture,good food and a glass of traditional wine in each village.Rhodes has more than 28 villages and each has something different to offer you as a reward for your visit and why not stay there.My opinion is that if a village attracted with a click your eyes and got a positive emotion, you should plan and ask an arrangement from your hotel to stay one at least day in a village and come in touch with local people around and become a part of their entertainment.Dance with them,share and express your feelings about coming here and one is for sure,that they will grant you as a  gold visitor and they will never forget you.Get and share photos with them and ask about traditional or handmade products they have.You will be amazed of the massive respond and the willingness to serve you and on many occasions they will give you for free,cause you are the person who gives first by deciding to make a visit and stay one at least day,and they feel thankful for that.

I hope and believe when making a plan and visit Rhodes island what is most important is the communication with village people,the culture that is expressed with songs and habits they have when living there and the respect about the natural miracle around the island.These attributes gives a picture why Rhodes is one the best places in the world and the top 5 destinations for your memorable holidays.

And do not forget,that you all deserve the Holiday of your Dreams and Rhodes has the benefits to give you this Dream experience of having memorable vacations and make you come back again and again…….I wish to everybody great holidays wherever in the world you are and keep traveling………

Lindos Rhodes is a picturesque village, ancient in history, located on the south east coast of the island. It is one of the most popular travel locations in Greece and the Mediterranean, because of the relaxed atmosphere, the friendly local inhabitants, and the pristine condition in which you find the town itself, and its well-kept beaches.Thousands of adventure travelers make their way to Lindos Rhodes each year seeking thrills and the many activities that are available. Whether you simply want to just relax on the beach, dive, snorkel, go on the Aegean Sea cruises, or simply explore the rich character of the old town and the Acropolis which dominates the area, it is a great location for a family holiday, or for a couple who simply want to get away from it all.

The old town itself is a maze of picturesque narrow streets with most of the small shops openly displaying wares from unique clothes and jewelry, to pottery, custom made sandals and leather goods, and regional crafts. It’s as shopaholics dream and you can spend hours browsing through the shops or taking a break in the villages many restaurants and ethnic bars.

In the evenings you can enjoy the many varied selections of cuisine available from the rooftop restaurants which offer spectacular views of the Acropolis at sunset, or participate in the lively nightlife of the village’s numerous bars and cafes. If you’re not into clubbing and the nightlife, you’ll be pleased to know that after 11pm the volume is turned down and everything closes down at respectable time. Additionally the bars and clubs into the town itself away from the majority of Lindos apartments, so if you have young children with you, you shouldn’t be disturbed.Crime is almost non-existent but of course normal precautions which should be taken because of something is stolen, look to other tourists not the locals. Not only are the local Greeks very friendly, but they have great pride in their village and watch out for other guests. If they think you need assistance they will be very quick in offering their help. Most local Greeks are fluent in several languages so you shouldn’t have a great deal of trouble in making yourself understood.

Lindos Rhodes is also a favoured place for weddings. Weddings take place frequently in the small picturesque chapel in St Pauls Bay and it’s not uncommon to see the wedding party led by an accordion player walking up from the beach into the town.

I recommend Lindos Rhodes highly as a wonderful location to relax and spend time with your family. The beaches and the weather especially are among the best in Greece.
