My very first visit to Rhodes was on a Mediterranean Cruise back in 2010, but 3 years later we spent a two week holiday there staying in a cheap 2 * Hotel a few miles from Rhodes Old Town. On this particular day we decided to take a coach trip to explore inside the famous Rhodes Castle. The coach climbed the old hilly road up to the main Car Park where we left the coach to begin walking across the long stone bridge to the main entrance.
You can see me here sitting on my stone balls, so to speak 😂
Notice the stone bridge in the background that we walked across. Where I am now sitting is the original moat area that at one time would of been completely filled with water. The moat continues around the entire Castle and would take at least a couple of hours to complete. We walked some of it, but in hot heat and a very stoney path, it would take some endurance to walk the whole way round it.
As we wondered further around the inside of the old castle I noticed this ancient doorway that seemed to lead to a "Secret Garden" beyond. The exit at the bottom looked intriguing to us both, so we walked down the pathway and through the archway, only to be greeted by a guy who wanted to shine our shoes for money 🤣 What made it more funny was the fact that we were wearing trainers & "Flip-Flops", but he was so insistent that we eventually conceded defeat and just paid him to do his work. Then we just walked away laughing to ourselves 😀
