Woooow that is so shocking. Climate change is a scary thing. Was the island prepared for it? How much snow was there?
 
No really prepared.A lot of snow about 1 foot deep.My gareden & paths still covered.Yesterday & today declared public holidays so only supermarkets & pharmacies open.Police yesterday were stopping vehicles to check if they had snow chains.I mean where would you get snow chains on a place that has not had snow in 35 years.

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.

Rhodes for History Lovers: Where Should You Go?

I've been to Rhodes before and absolutely loved the history there. Walking through the Old Town, visiting the Palace of the Grand Master, and exploring Lindos were some of my favorite experiences. There's a chance I may return in early fall this year or next year if the trip comes together.

This time, though, I'd be traveling with someone who is a serious history buff, so I feel like I need to take my planning up a notch. Beyond the well-known sites, what historical locations in Rhodes would you recommend? Are there any lesser-known ruins, museums, archaeological sites, or villages that history lovers shouldn't miss?

I'd also love suggestions for guided tours, books, or resources that helped you better understand the island's history before visiting. What would be on your must-see list for someone who wants to really dive into Rhodes' past?

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.

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?
