Today my girlfriend and I were going to go on a walk but it was overcast and rain was in the forecast. She called me this morning and we decided to go on a road trip. Awesome!! We headed out down the east side of the island, first stopping at an old spa area, Kalithea Springs, where the occupying Italians came to take the waters. The thermal waters here have been known since ancient times but the Italians built a spa. This later fell into disuse but has since been renovated. There is no longer a pool but the buildings are beautiful, particularly the pebbled mosaic floor. A nice secluded almost private beach and pool area, it looks like a nice place to sit and enjoy the sun.
Our next stop was Seven Springs. A beautiful walk thru the forest, it smelled just like BC with the sprinkle of rain we were getting.
You can walk under ground thru this little tunnel in the cool spring water–nice in summer maybe but too claustrophobic for me.
Next stop was Lindos. An ancient Acropolis built upon by the Romans and again by the Knights of St John and several other powers in between. There were layers of churches and temples and castles. The Guns of Navarone with Anthony Quinn was filmed here. This is also where the famous donkeys take tourists up the mountain to the Acropolis.
The donkeys looked very well taken care of, well fed and groomed and their feet were nicely trimmed. The kids looked like they were having the most fun.
This bas-relief of a ship dates from 180 BC.
I have to go to a new page–I can’t load pictures anymore. Aargh!!!
A Sheeps' Trail 
Thus far– these images are the ones that are making me jealous. Looks gorgeous! Just hearing the rain and walking in it, or that little stream… Ahhh, seems like paradise. ❤️❤️
Yes it was very pretty. And smelled so good. We had an old fashioned thunderstorm the other night with lots of flashes and booming. That was pretty cool too.
