After spending way to much time getting ready, we punched, stamped and signed out of Turkey and headed to Rhodes, Greece. The winds were perfect for the first poking of our nose out of the marina and we managed to get up to over 12 knots on our way to this medieval island city. I have been to Rhodes several times before and always love visiting.
We planned a few days to take care of the paperwork to enter Greece and do a little stocking up of fresh local fruits and veggies. And of course, we have to visit our favorite Gyro hangout. What can I say, I love Greek Gyros. Gyros are shaved meat usually chicken, pork or lamb that have been stacked on a long skewer and cooked by roasting against vertical burners. The cooked meet is then shaved in thin slices and wrapped in pita bread with hot French fries, tomatoes, a cucumber sauce that can only be described as the secret ingredient. Hummm so good. I miss them.
Our first charter guests of the summer arrive and spend a day wandering around the city crusading knights once ruled and defended. It is a beautiful city where it is easy to transport yourself back centuries ago when stone walls and valiant knights kept the population safe from danger. Not a lot has changed. Somehow I think even back then storekeepers were hawking their latest wares to newly arrived visitors. Though most of it was probably not made in China.
