Our next visitors, Roy and Jackie, were due to arrive in Rhodes, so we continued south to Rhodes to await their arrival. I’d been concerned at stories of how difficult it is to get a berth in Rhodes and so we had engaged an agent who made it all very easy - for a fee of course! But the actual mooring fee is very low, so perhaps the inability to get a berth without an agent is just a way of ensuring that a proper fee is earned - its just that the agent gets the money not the town! Rhodes turned out to be a wonderful site - great buildings and fortifications from the time of the Knights of St John and naturally quite similar to Malta (as they were based in Rhodes until forced out by Suleiman the Magnificent and then found their way in 1530 to Malta). We also enjoyed some lovely restaurants and drove to Lindos which is also a very pretty town.
