Yikes. And I thought Lindos in Rhodes was a tourist fortress.
That place looks more like a mall than a town. Looks like there
might be some good walks away from the town though.

Are all the Asian couples having a Moonie mass wedding?

LOL
Some photos could be from a disaster movie.
It was overcrowded when a cruise ship was there 30 years ago, Gawd knows what
it is like with half a dozen much larger cruise ships there.

Good thing I went in 1965, when it wasn't like that at all.

I regret very much not going in the 1960s.

When I went to Greece in 1965 for a trip of five or six weeks I was the
only one of five of us who thought to equip himself with a guidebook
(Fodor's, if memory serves). As a result we mostly went to places that
I thought would be worth visiting -- Mt Athos, Mykonos, Rhodes,
Santorini, Crete, Delphi. One of us (not me, but I read it) bought a
copy of Fanny Hill in Santorini, at a time it was impossible to buy in
England without going to rather unsavoury shops in London.
