Rhodes was another stop on our cruise around the Greek islands.  We docked right outside the city walls of Rhodes, but spent the morning exploring Lindos before going into the Old Town of Rhodes.

Colder weather always has me thinking back to past summer travel.  Last summer, I started off a wonderful trip to Greece with a short stay in Athens.  I ended up liking it so much, I can't wait to return for a longer visit.  With only a brief bit of time there before boarding a cruise, we made sure to prioritize visits to the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum.

Over the summer I went on a  week long cruise around the Greek Islands on the Silver Whisper.  One stop that I just loved was Paros, Greece.  Paros is a fairly popular island for tourists and religious pilgrims.   There is regular ferry service from Athens and neighboring islands, as well as a small airport, making Paros quite accessible.  I wandered around the town of Parikia for a bit before visiting a famous church and the beach.  The town is full of brightly colored flowers set against white washed houses and stone alleys.
