Do you ever have that fleeting moment of doubt when you open a travel brochure and see the pictures of those exotic locations with beautiful beaches, an azure sea and an unbelievably blue sky ? That can't possibly be real, can it ?
Well, we found out today that it is, at least here by the Aegean Sea. Crystal clear water so bouyant you can almost fall asleep floating on your back. The boardwalks are there to protect your feet from the hot sand, and sandals are required to get right to the water. The beach was not crowded and this is about as far away as you can get from 'hustle and bustle' - a phrase which is unknown here (except when it comes to driving !).
Away from the beach, the land is hot, and dry. I've read that there is a rainy season here, but the evidence for it is long gone.

Rick, you've found paradise and captured it so wonderfully well that I want to go and pack my bags right now!
Are you back home? And if you are I bet it was super hard to leave paradise!
Paradise is not far away, isn't it? :D
Kisses.

The beach is beautiful. Nice place to be
Well I guess when it is that hot bout all you can do is sit in those chairs and just relax. Looks very peacefull. I like the idea of just floating in the water.
Wow, the sand is that hot? the water sounds amazing. Can't wait to see more pics!
The second photo is well captured :-)

Absolutely magnificent. I miss the beach... cannot wait to go back. I hope you are having a lovely time. Don't burn your tootsies! lol
@everyone - thank you for taking the time to view and comment. There were so many great beaches in (on ?) Rhodes. I have no hesitation in recommending it for your 'must visit' list.
