Rhodos city beach Deu/Eng

in #hive-1637729 days ago

Hallo liebe Community,
auf dem weg zurück zu unserer Bushaltestelle genehmigten wir us noch einen leckeren Frappucino bei Starbucks, ja den gibt es auch hier auf Rhodos :-)
Da wir noch eine Stunde Zeit bis zur Abfahrt hatten, hatten wir uns überlegt, an den ca. 10 Minuten entfernten, fußläufig leicht erreichbaren Stadtstrand von Rhodos Stadt zu gehen. Dafür hatten wir extra Badesachen aus dem Hotel mitgenommen, falls sich die Gelegenheit bieten würde.

Und tatsächlich, keine 10 Minuten später sahen wir den schönen Strand direkt vor dem Casino von Rhodos Stadt. Vom Elli Beach aus hat man einen herrlichen Blick auf die türkische Küste. Hier gab es unzählige wunderschöne Beach Bars und Strandclubs, die auch ihren eigenen privaten Strandabschnitt hatten. es gab aber auch ein paar Flecken die öffentlich und nicht reserviert waren. Als wir umgezogen waren, stürzten wir uns zur Abkühlung ins Wasser, das aber leider für eine richtige Abkühlung etwas zu warm war. Viele Menschen schwammen hier mal mit und mal ohne Luftmatratze und es kam mir so vor, als ob sehr viele Einheimische hier vertreten waren. Etwas weiter draußen zog ein Motorboot zwei Leute an einem Fallschirm nach oben, sicher ein toller Blick über die Stadt so weit oben.

In einer kleinen Entfernung vor dem Strand war ein Sprungturm einfach so ins Meer gebaut worden. Und ein nicht mal so kleiner. 3, 5 und 10 Meter hoch waren die Plattformen, von denen sich die Leute, wieder zumeist Einheimische in die Fluten stürzten. Teilweise akrobatisch mit Salto, teilweise Kopf voraus und teilweise mit einer plumpen Arschbombe. Ihren Spaß hatten sie augenscheinlich alle dabei. Natürlich ließen auch wir uns diese Gelegenheit nicht nehmen, wann kann man schon mal aus der Höhe direkt ins Meer springen? Mein Sohn traute sich sogar zum ersten mal in seinem Leben aus 10 Metern Höhe. Das lag nicht daran, dass er sich vorher nicht getraut hätte, er hatte nur leider bisher nie die Möglichkeit, da 10 Meter Türme in Deutschland mittlerweile recht dünn gesät sind. Wozu auch? Die Jugend kann ja mehrheitlich überhaupt nicht mehr schwimmen. Aber das ist ein anderes Thema.

Völlig geschafft und ausgepowert machten wir uns dann schließlich an die zweistündige Rückfahrt zum Hotel, wo wir ca. 19:00 Uhr ankamen. Ich war so fertig, vermutlich noch von den 2 Litern Bier ( https://ecency.com/hive-163772/@lxsxl/rhodos-city-old-town-part ), dass ich die komplette Rückfahrt verschlafen hatte :-)

Viele Grüße und bis bald Euer

Hello dear community,
on the way back to our bus stop we treated ourselves to a delicious Frappuccino at Starbucks, yes they have that here on Rhodes too :-)
As we still had an hour before departure, we had thought about going to the city beach of Rhodes Town, which is about 10 minutes away and easy to reach on foot. We had brought swimwear from the hotel with us just in case we had the opportunity.

And indeed, less than 10 minutes later we saw the beautiful beach directly in front of the casino in Rhodes Town. There were countless beautiful beach bars and beach clubs here, which also had their own private beach area. But there were also a few spots that were public and not reserved. When we had changed, we jumped into the water to cool off, but unfortunately it was a bit too warm for a proper cool off. Lots of people were swimming here, sometimes with and sometimes without air mattresses, and it seemed to me as if there were a lot of locals here. A little further out, a motorboat pulled two people up on a parachute, surely a great view of the city from that high up.

A short distance from the beach, a diving tower had been built into the sea. And not even that small. The platforms were 3, 5 and 10 meters high, from which people, again mostly locals, threw themselves into the waves. Some acrobatically with somersaults, some head first and some with a clumsy cannonball. They all seemed to be having fun. Of course, we didn't miss this opportunity either, when do you get to jump from a height directly into the sea? My son even dared to jump from a height of 10 meters for the first time in his life. That wasn't because he hadn't dared before, it was just that he had never had the opportunity before, as 10-meter towers are now few and far between in Germany. Why would they? The majority of young people can't swim at all anymore. But that's another topic.

Completely exhausted and drained, we finally set off on the two-hour drive back to the hotel, where we arrived at around 7 p.m. I was so exhausted, probably from the 2 liters of beer ( https://ecency.com/hive-163772/@lxsxl/rhodos-city-old-town-part ), that I slept through the entire journey back :-)

Best wishes and see you soon, Yours
Al
