The hot springs of Kallithea Baths in Rhodes is known since antiquity for its beneficial health red water that gushes from the rocks. Although not longer used, the visitors can admire the glamour of the magnificent Baths built by the Italians. Outside the high season, this is the favorite spot for local people looking for a quick swim. Most of the building are newly renovated and when i visited them some parts were under construction. This is the main entry of the area of Kalithea springs. The baths are at the end of this picture. Paths that leads to the a number of building at higher ground.     View of the sea inside of the newly renovated buidlings. Inside the buildings. You can see old pictures. View of the back. Some of the renovated paths. Another path. Notice the details down. Fisherman. View from the back.

Some days ago i visited the old town of Rhodes again. The weather was perfect so i decided to take some pictures before the tourists arrived. These pictures taken around April. Old town: a merge of old building and new technology, but the result is not always beautiful.  A contrast of new and old building inside the old town. The window and the building in the center is in bad shape. In contrast the building on the right is newly renovated and although the owner used stone you can see the difference. Note also the road, the local authorities didn't have the money to fully repair it. Old Castle in the old medieval city of Rhodes, Greece. Taverns, taverns, taverns everywhere! In old medieval city of Rhodes. Still beautiful empty streets inside the old medieval city in Rhodes, Greece. Waiting for the tourists. Sometimes i ask my self, why we don't   have tourists on Winter.
