subject: There Are No Yellow Brick Rhodes [print this page] Rhodes definitely comes under the category of something that you may wish upon a star, a place where you look to when a rainbow forms after another dismal shower back in the UK. The thing with the rain in the UK is that it will occur as and when it pleases, no sky is too sunny or cloudless for it to come along and ruin our day. Over on the Island of Rhodes the sun tends weather tends to be that much kinder. Rain? No sign of it. That goes for most of the year too, impeccable all round. Whether its spring, summer, autumn or winter there will be plenty of sunshine on offer in Rhodes.
Greece is blessed with various picturesque views and stunning scenery which alone tends to draw in tourists just like Sirens did according to ancient Greek Mythology. History lesson over. Did you know that Spain has long been at the top of the charts for tourism numbers in the Mediterranean and indeed Europe? Probably, but did you know that Greece can be much cheaper and more fun? If you've basking on the various mainland and island shores of Spain the last few years, then I'm guessing not. Greece tends to come second best to many people but it's strange to see whys, this overlooking takes more pounds out of your pocket and more smiles of your face.
Sure Spain and Turkey have their qualities, but Greece is a very special place and is rarely made tacky by the influx of tourism like other places. No matter what resort you stay in you will always find that there is some ancient ruins lurking nearby which played an integral part in some epic story that you may have once heard as a child. Perhaps Odysseus slain some evil foe or a historic battle was fought, you will find history and intrigue is never too far no matter where you stay in Greece. Rhodes is a classic example of this, from Rhodes Town itself through to the various resorts which line the islands coast.
The island of Rhodes has always been a popular destination since the boom of tourism back in the 70's and 80's. As the years went by Rhodes has always adapted itself to remain an appealing destination to a younger market, though the truth is that many people still return to the island for its natural, culture and historical appeal, something which it will never lose.
