Now a stag and doe stand where once straddled the Greek titan-god of the sun Helios, by Chares of Lindos in 280 BC.

No alterations or photoshop. I swear it’s this layered, this blue.

A pebbled beach on the calm side (east) of Rhodes where it was easy to float like a bobber.

It’s a wild ride on the west side of the island.

Walking on the west side, select a spot on uncrowded beaches.

The east side has the resorts and the touristy areas. This picture is on the west side, and its villages and beaches are uncommercialized. I think it’s because it’s too windy to swim calmly, yet, this is the side I’d easily spend a summer hanging out with the locals.
