I have a friend who was supposed to go to Rhodes this year as part of a cruise. This isn't until September. She saw about the fires and is freaking out a little bit. The cruise company hasn't been in touch yet.

Do you guys have any advice on what she should do, so I can pass it along to her? She's not online much so I thought I'd post this for her.

Very sad what has happened on Rhodes. I would personally restructure any travel plans not to include Rhodes for this year and then see how it goes for next year.

I am sure the cruise company will reroute to another place if Rhodes is in rough shape too, though. If I were her I would just trust that they'll work it out.
 
your friend will not be going to the area affected by the fire.Its unlikely they will see anything by septermber
 
cruise ships are still coming. earlier this week there were 3 on the same day
 
We were in Rhodes late July, beginning of August When the fires were raging. We stayed at the casino we didn't see any fire or smoke there at all. Fires were about 50-60 km south, near Lindos. We drove all the way to the southmost point. A lot of the mountain was burned and in some cases all the way down to the sea. Tell your friend to go and enjoy.
We were on Kefallonia later and they had fires there as well. Again no problems, the fire was put out in a day.
The big fire is north near the Turkish border, smoke from there west as far as Italy!

What Happened to the Colossus of Rhodes?

I’ve been reading about Colossus of Rhodes and realized I don’t actually know what happened to it. I know it was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and that it stood somewhere near the harbor in Rhodes, but beyond that, the details are a bit fuzzy for me.

Did it collapse because of an earthquake? And if so, what happened to the remains afterward? I’ve heard different versions—some say it stayed in pieces for a long time, others say it was eventually removed or sold off.

Also, is there any real evidence of exactly where it stood, or is that still debated? Curious to hear what people know or have learned, especially if you’ve visited Rhodes and seen any related sites or history in person.

Is October a Good Time to Visit Rhodes?

I’m considering a trip to Rhodes this October because I found a really good deal on flights, and now I’m trying to decide if I should go for it!

I’ve been looking into the weather, but I’d love to hear from people who have actually visited Rhodes in October. Is it still warm enough to spend time at the beach and swim, or does the weather start becoming unpredictable by then? I don’t necessarily need extremely hot weather, but I would like some sunshine and nice days for exploring.

I’m also wondering what Rhodes is like that time of year in terms of restaurants, shops, attractions, and crowds. Are most things still open, especially in Rhodes Town and Lindos?

Would you recommend visiting Rhodes in October, or is it better to save the trip for earlier in the season?

How do I start a successful livestream production service?

Been messing around with livestreaming for friends and small events, and people keep telling me I should turn it into a real service. I love the tech side and the creative chaos, but I have zero clue how to start making it into a paid thing without crashing and burning. Gear upgrades, pricing, finding clients, handling the pressure of live stuff... it's all swirling in my head. If anyone here has built a service like this or works in production, I’d love some real talk on what actually works and what to avoid.
