Γεια σας!
Pronounced "yassas," this is both the most common Greek greeting and the most important word I learned. It can mean hello, goodbye, bless you, and more. So Γεια σας, and welcome to the blog I never thought I'd have, a summary of my months spent on the island of Rhodes!

Walking Over the Moat



No, that's not just an expression. Most of the bars and nightlife in pre-tourist season Rhodes are in the Old Town of the city. To get to Old Town, you literally must cross over the medieval moat. Very cool. 


The bars themselves are beautiful. The buildings in Old Town (the facades, at least) are all either original or restored stonework from 1309, before the Turkish invasion, so it's a far cry from the Boot. However, the bar culture is interesting. Loud music, open spaces, drinks, but no dancing. The point in the music being so loud you cannot think if there is no dancing? Not quite sure. Going out is a blast, though...partially because we've given up on not being the tacky Americans and dance anyway. Worth it? Yes.
