Another earthquake hit the waters near island of Rhodes this week, it was pretty small and there aren't any damages or losses on the island itself. Many of the islands suffer pretty frequent earthquakes because of their proximity to volcanic and tectonic plates. The island is prepared for this and takes many precautionary measures. The earthquake was 4.5 magnitude which would usually cause slight damage to buildings but gladly it was in the water.
 
You are joking.The island is prepared.
No it is not.
A simple thing like traffic lights not working for several days.
Drains & gullys are not cleaned so we get flooded streets when it rains.
Rubbish not collected for many days.
The insulators on the power lines get filled with dust during the summer.They do not get cleaned so at the first rains the dust gets wet & the insulators short circut causing power cuts.Some power cuts last for many hours.The longest I have experienced lasted twelve & a half hours.

Oh my goodness this sounds terrible...I've heard many instances like these from friends in Greece. Very very unfortunate
 

How do I start using a manual concrete mixer efficiently for DIY projects?

Picked up a manual concrete mixer for some weekend DIY stuff, but wow, I'm realizing I have no clue if I'm using it in a smart way or just wasting energy. I figured it would be simple, but the mix keeps coming out lumpy or too soupy, and I'm starting to feel like the weak link here is... me. If anyone has tips on getting a smooth mix, pacing myself, or just not making a giant mess every time, I'd love to hear it. I really want to get better at this before I start my patio project.

Tips for Exploring the Ancient City of Kamiros

I might go to Rhodes and would really like to visit the Ancient City of Kamiros while I’m there. I love exploring archaeological sites, and from the photos and information I’ve seen, Kamiros looks fascinating. I’m especially interested in seeing the layout of the ancient city and learning more about what daily life would have been like there.

For those who have visited, do you have any tips for making the most of the experience? How much time would you recommend allowing to explore the site without feeling rushed? Is there enough information posted around the ruins, or would it be helpful to read about the history beforehand or bring a guidebook?

I’d also love to know about practical details, such as the best time of day to visit, how much walking is involved, and whether there are any other nearby places worth combining with Kamiros on the same day.

What Should I Visit in Rhodes Old Town?

I'm thinking about visiting Rhodes in May of next year, and one of the places I'm most excited about exploring is Rhodes Old Town. I've seen photos of the medieval streets, historic buildings, and charming little shops, and it looks like such an interesting place to spend some time.

I know that the Palace of the Grand Master and the Street of the Knights are two of the main attractions, and I'd definitely like to see both. However, I'm also interested in discovering some of the lesser-known places that might be easy to overlook.

For those who have visited, what would you recommend seeing in Rhodes Old Town? Are there particular streets, historical sites, churches, shops, or restaurants that are worth seeking out?

I'm also curious how much time I should set aside. Is one full day enough to explore, or would you recommend spending more time there?
