In with the new
Keep the old
It won’t spoil the view
Even if not gold

A church from the past
Should be quite the blast
It was built to last
Alas
It may be run down
But hey, this is the old town!

For a renaissance fair
You need proper attire to wear
Don’t get in a despair
If you cannot fix your hair
Just put on a red dress
And you will be quite the success
Without too much stress!

Old versus new
Both a little askew
But like the leaning tower
They both are left, to flower

Behind rickety doors
Inside even worse floors
But tearing them down
Would cause much emotion
So just call it, history in motion

In the old town
Listen, to the sound

Driving a Lada-car
Will probably not get you very far
But most likely
To the nearest bar
Where you are always, the star!

Narrow alleyways
And painted windows
The old town is full of
Perfect hideaways

Ye Olde Town: The Harbour

Gun’s travel log, stardate 10.08.2015, 03.00 PM (GMT +3)

Mandraki Harbour

harbour-2

This, the largest of the islands in the Dodecanese, is a popular tourist destination. It is also a large charter base, so visiting mid-week provides a better chance of finding a berth. The main harbour for yachts is Mandraki on the north east tip of the island.

Position 36° 27.1’N, 28° 13.4’E. (Mandraki yacht harbour)

Rhodes town is very congested with crowds from cruise ships, ferries, holiday package groups, etc. and has thousands of shops and restaurants. Many cruisers prefer to moor in Lindos and take the bus up to Rhodes for the day

You can travel near or far from the Mandraki harbour. Pick up a ride for the day or join a cruiser and set sail for the distant lands. Or you may simply enjoy watching the very fine yahts docked at the piers and dream of a life of luxury…
