Last week I came back from a holiday in Greece. We went to Rhodes and stayed in the Rodos Village in Kiotari. The Rodos Village is a 5 star all-inclusive resort which is situated in the east west coast of the island.
We took a taxi from the airport to the hotel (this was a pre-paid transfer from our holiday provider) The taxi took around an hour to get to the hotel. Since our flight was overnight, we arrived at the airport at 4.45am, so it was great to hop into a taxi and get to the hotel quicker than the coach would have taken.
We got to the hotel at around 6am. There are not only steps up to the hotel, but also a ramp. It was quite steep but it meant that I could wheel my bag up instead of carrying up the steps (always good if you're tired!)
Check in was quick. No one was around at that time since it was so early, there was ...
Advantages: Atmosphere. Well produced - Escapist Disadvantages: Story line too unrealistic for me
Last week I came across one of those special offers in HMV (4 DVds for £20). It was end of the season sale and I picked up a film called "The Village" just to make up the numbers. It struck me as being some sort of clichéd horror film from the blurb on the cover and I didn't expect to be watching it in the very near future. But it was one of those DVDs that keep popping up every time I looked through my shelf of dozens of other unwatched movies. Well the other evening, it popped up again and I just put it in the machine without giving it too much thought. As I wasn't in the mood for thinking anyway, it would probably be an ideal film.
As we got into the film, enter the monster, well, a glimpse of it. It was supposed to be scaring me but even my wife, who makes me jump out of my skin with her sudden screams in scary movies, remained ...

Advantages: Quiet ,friendly, a good touring centre. Disadvantages: Aircraft noise
☼ Rhodes the sun island is aptly named with its wonderful climate boasting 300 days of sun each year. It's the largest Island of the group called Dodecanese (twelve islands) and lies about eleven miles west of Turkey. The capitol is Rhodes town with its magnificent harbour, ancient buildings and fortifications well worth a visit. A short bus ride from Rhodes town brings you to the village of Kremasti, a much-overlooked little fishing village with a shingle beach and plenty of atmosphere. My partner Allan and I stayed here in 2001 in the Margarita Apartments close to the village centre and unfortunately rather near to the Airport but what we had saved by choosing a little-known resort was spent on touring the island.
☼The village itself is compact and unspoilt by too many tourists making it ideal for couples and older ...
