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.

Traveling with a history buff to Rhodes

I am traveling with someone who lives history to Rhodes. Specifically, Medieval history (to the crusades).

I understand that Rhodes was a main player in this time period? Here are a few things on my list to visit. Did I miss anything?
  1. The Palace of the Grand Master: Standing majestically in the heart of Rhodes Old Town, this palace is one of the most striking reminders of the Knights' presence. It's said to be restored in the 20th century. I'm particularly interested in its history and the exhibitions hosted inside.
  2. Street of the Knights (Ippoton Street): Possibly one of the best-preserved medieval streets in the world. Walking down this street, lined with the inns once used by knights of different languages and origins, seems like a walk back in time. Any specific inns or details I should look out for?
  3. The Hospital of the Knights: Now housing the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes, it seems like a place rich in history. I'm curious about the exhibitions there and any pieces that are a must-see.
  4. The Fortifications: The walls and gates around Rhodes Old Town are a testament to the knights' engineering prowess. Is there a particular section or gate that offers a unique perspective or history?
  5. Rodini Park: A bit off the beaten path in terms of knightly history, but I've read that it's one of the world's oldest parks and was appreciated even during the era of the knights. Any historical remnants here connected to the knights?

Best Historical Landmarks to See in Rhodes

I am working on planning a trip to Rhodes and am trying to prioritize which ones I should see. I've come up with a list. Did I miss anything? Realistically, I might only have time to see about 5 places, but I want more on the list than I can see so I can decide what seems the most interesting to me.

Here's what I have:
  1. Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes
  2. Rhodes Old Town Walls
  3. Acropolis of Lindos
  4. Street of the Knights
  5. Archaeological Museum of Rhodes
  6. Castle of Monolithos
  7. Kallithea Springs
  8. Ancient Kamiros
  9. Ancient Ialysos
  10. Ancient Kameiros

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?

Valley of Butterflies in Rhodes?

I learned about this cool place on Rhdoes I want to see.

Valley of Butterflies is a sanctuary on Rhodes for severe; species of butterflies and is worth a visit. This natural haven is nestled in the middle of a winding stream and surrounded by rocky hills, flowers, and trees. The valley is home to abundant flora and fauna, including 150 different types of butterflies and moths such as the Jersey Tiger Moth, the Spotted Fritillary Butterfly, and the Painted Lady Butterfly.

The best time to visit this natural paradise is from late June to early September. During this period, the butterflies start their 5-day mating cycle, creating beautiful yellow-colored walls along the Rhodos stream. Visiting this place during this period gives you the chance to revel in the delightful colors and aroma of butterflies fluttering around your head.

I found this great video about it:


I don't know I fi will have a chance to go next year, but it really does look neat!
