There is a little jetty.... A short walk away is a taverna called "Paradise".... Where the tomatoes in the salad are ripened on the vine and taste wonderful!...... And you can see..... Do you know what the significance of this place is?

Well it looks to me a bit like Kamiros Scala before the jetty was extended but you can't see Halki directly from there.
Is it Monolithos, where the electricity cable goes under the sea to Halki?

Assuming that the three photos were taken at the same time, it is within the past year or thereabouts. I base this only on the individuals at the feast.

Apologies, thinking about one of the people, it is more likely to have been taken at least as far back as 2007. Still, not an old picture.

Thanks for having a go Jules. Yes it is on Rhodes. Yes you can see Halki. In fact it is between Kamiros & Monolithos. The picture is nearly contemporary. (It shows Kinygos.) The following pictures were taken in September last year. The last one shows Halki obscured partly by another island which looks bigger than it is by parallax. The Paradise Taverna is, or was, owned by "three brothers who have four eyes". The road to this place and the taverna is tortuous, to say the least. My Finnish friend Sari wanted to get her friend to take her there by road. I suggested it was perhaps not a good idea! (She had been there previously in Kinygos II, I think when these pictures were taken)

Following those clues (Four eyes??? ), I have looked at my very well thumbed map of Rhodes and there is what looks like a very squiggly line running down from the main road to a large bay. If that is the tortuous route you refer to, then the place may be Glyfada but what it's significance is, I have no idea.

The prize goes to sth! Although, having given the clues in the last post, it is hardly surprising you got it! The significance is that, before Kamiros Skala was the port for Halki the boats left from Glyfada. Heaven knows how or why. The road route to it is a nightmare, but the passage is certainly short. One of the one-eyed brothers supplied the information, so I assume it is true. It would be interesting to know how far back this “port” was used. Presumably, the boats launched from the beach. Christine visited me recently and liked the picture of Alex; approved it for the website. It was before he got ill. I remember it well, because he thought that I could not possibly catch fish, using my methods. We did not on the way out, but on the way back, when time was at a premium, we hit three! Alex kept say “I don’t believe this!” See Halki Fish and the picture of Christine. I have very fond memories of that trip, including the frenzied docking of Kinygos in order that Christine should meet her clients on the ferry! “À la recherche du temps perdu”!
