Hello

We are coming to Pefkos next week, we have been before and we love it there!

I have filled out my PLF form and got confirmation , all good, but I am concerned as it clearly says only one form per household - and asks me to add anyone who is family to the form (but is a partner I am not married to classed as family)? However to add a non family it assumes they are not the same household, so I am confused!

We are both double vaccinated (25/5/21 so past two weeks by our arrive to Rhodes) and it only asked for my details of vaccination, and only my passport , that concerns me - how do they know whether my partner is also double vaccinated , or bringing a PCR test etc, or will they just ask him (both of us ) on arrival? We both have the NHS App on our phones which confirms our double vaccination so it is easy to show, my concern is that it hasn't asked anything about him , just me as the main form filler!

Thank you and sorry to bother you!

We can't wait to come, we have booked all the ridiculous tests we need to return home - yes ridiculous as we are double vaccinated and Greece welcomes us, but sadly our vaccines are irrelevant when returning to the UK, but we have paid for the tests, all ready and can't wait to come !

Thank you for reading and sorry to be a nuisance.

Kind regards

Tracey
 
Hi Tracey Jane,

Thanks so much for stopping by WorldwideGreeks.com and your post!

Based on how you described this, I would say household should work fine and not to worry about it. Just to be safe, I would recommend asking your question to the source that you received this paperwork (was it in the EU, Greece or local in Rhodes).

Enjoy your trip to Greece and thanks again!

Hi

Thank.you for your response. I did the PLF via gov.gr. I will see if I can find how to message them and ask. It may be that the form my partner did can be cancelled.

Rhodes tips for couples

I am looking for tips about visiting Rhodes for couples. I will be traveling with my significant other and no one else, and this is a first traveling without other people. I am excited!

We're looking for recommendations to make the most of our time on this beautiful island. Specifically, we're interested in:
  • Charming Places to Stay: We'd appreciate suggestions for quaint, romantic accommodations that offer a memorable experience.
  • Must-See Attractions: What are the top sights that we should not miss while in Rhodes?
  • Romantic Dining: Any hidden gems or restaurants with a romantic ambiance that would be perfect for a couple?
  • Secluded Spots: Are there any less-traveled beaches or quiet spots for some quality time away from the crowds?
  • Local Experiences: We're keen on engaging in activities or experiences unique to Rhodes – anything that's a bit off the beaten path.
  • Travel Tips: Any general advice on navigating Rhodes as a couple – transportation, safety, or local customs we should be aware of?
Thanks so much!

Religious sites to visit on Rhodes

Today, I’m excited to share four religious sites that you might want to visit as you journey along a certain road. Each of these destinations offers a unique insight into the spiritual legacy and historical context of the regions you'll find yourself immersed in. However, remember I haven't visited this myself. I am thinking of visiting them. So I will make updates as I find more information. For example, I just added more information about the names of the places so they're easier to find.

1. The Temple at the Crossroads

This serene temple, ancient as the surrounding groves, is named for the cross-section of paths where legend says the gods intersect. The atmosphere is calm, and it's said that prayers offered here meet deities from all four cardinal directions. Locals believe that if you meditate within the temple's main hall, you can sense the divine converging around you.

I think this place is also called Temple of Apollo Pythias but I could be wrong.

2. The Monastery Through the Mist

Nestled high in the mountains, this monastery is famous for the shroud of mist that enwraps it, making it feel like an ethereal resting place. History marks it as the site where the first saint of the region achieved enlightenment. Pilgrims hike hours up treacherous paths to be blessed where the clouds meet the heavens.

I think this place is also called Filerimos Monastery - should be easier to find under this name.

3. The Shrine within a Cave

A cave lodges in a cliffside on the third leg of our journey, housing a shrine illuminated only by the gentle glow of candles. An annual festival invites thousands, as they carry torches along narrow ledges to pay homage to the hermit who first discovered this sanctuary. The echo of religious chants is said to make the rocks themselves vibrate.

I think this is also called Cave of Archangel Michael.

4. The Ancient Blessing Well

A clearing in the dense woods reveals a well, adorned with flowers, that many claim has healing properties. Here, people of all faiths come to draw water and leave tokens of gratitude for the water spirit. This practice was believed to have been started by a traveling monk hundreds of years ago, imparting legends of miraculous recoveries to those who drank from it.

Is this place in the Fortification of Rhodes?



Note: I edited this to fix the error about the amount. I had 5 but decided I didn't want to talk about the fifth. I also put some more information about locations.

Visiting Ancient Ramiro's on Rhodes

I realized I have never seen this site and I am traveling with history buffs. I thought I'd ask you all for some advice:

  1. Best Time to Visit: What’s the best time of year to explore Ancient Kamiros to avoid the crowds but still enjoy good weather?
  2. Getting There: Are there public transportation options available, or would renting a vehicle be advisable? Any tips on parking or the best times to arrive?
  3. Must-Sees: Within the site, are there any particular spots or artifacts that are a must-see? I'm interested in capturing some great photos and soaking in the history.
  4. Tour. Should I take a tour? Anything to recommend?
