Rhodes, Greece
An unexpected but welcome opportunity for some mid-Autumn sunshine came up. It was another Sensatori resort, this time on the stunning island of Rhodes.

The Ancient past of this small but beautiful greek island caught my attention:

Hotel: Atlantica Dreams
Fronted by TUI’s Senatori brand and backed by a gallery of luxurious photos, Atlantica Dreams appeared to be next level luxury travel. And whilst the hotel does have some plus points, it wasn’t the five star retreat we had been expecting.

Lindos
We decided to spend a day visiting Lindos, home of the Acropolis (ancient greek fort). The hotel is situated on a direct bus route and for €1 per person, it would have been crazy not to use public transport.
Wow – what a mistake. What should have been a 15 minute ride turned into 45 minutes and about 25 stops! And the bus got jam-packed, not even standing room left so we had to pass by the last two stops.
But it was worth the ordeal once we arrived, the bus drop-off is very close to the acropolis entrance so we we walked down a very narrow road to start our ascent up to the top.
