Rhodes, Greece
July 24, 2018
Today we met a friendly taxi driver named Michael (his business card is down below) who took us around the beautiful island of Rhodes. Michael took us to a beautiful place to have lunch in Haraki Bay then we drove to around to a few different beaches.
The best one we saw was called Anthony Quinn Bay. If we had a chance, we would’ve spent a few hours there.  After a brief stop, we then drove to the old town where he dropped us off in one spot, and we walked through this fantastic place and met him at the main square where he picked us up to continue our tour.
Our last stop before heading back to the ship was this ceramic shop where they handmade and handpainted pottery. There’s a video of a man making something down below.
Follow us on our journey the next destination is Valletta, Malta.
