The Endless Blue of Rhodes

IMG_5369 IMG_5189The trip from Venice to Rhodes is just under two hours flying time. I had my notebook and coffee situated on the tray-table intending to write down notes on Venice, Murano and Burano while still fresh in my mind, but all I could do was stare out the window mesmerized by the view. I was astounded by the varying colors of blue above and below the aircraft. And, depending on the cloud cover, direction of the plane or the depth of the water there were colors across the spectrum such as azure, sapphire, indigo, peacock blue, aquamarine and cerulean, as we moved from the Adriatic to the Ionian Sea’s.

IMG_5177 IMG_5330The sky merging with the beautiful water would have inspired abstract expressionist Mark Rothko to create most lavishly. Once we landed on the island of Rhodes the color of blue continued as a dominant pigment across the landscape.

Favorites from Venice

IMG_3233As we begin packing to leave Venice for Rhodes, I wanted to take a moment to jot down a few favorites that really made the trip worthwhile and that I definitely want to try upon our next visit.

  1. Travel to the islands beyond Saint Mark’s Square, such as Murano for their Venetian glass and Burano for lace. We did half day trips on each island, which allowed time to enjoy lunch in Murano before taxing to Burano for an afternoon of museum hopping.IMG_4412
  2. Exploring takes a great deal out of you so, it is imperative that you stop for a cappuccino or espresso break during the day, along with enjoying a baked treat. This is the perfect way to relax and rejuvenate!!!

  3. Get up early and have the city to yourself {for a few moments} before throngs of site-seers invade the territory.
  4. Have cocktail hour at Bacaro Jazz ristorante from 4-6 pm, you can buy one drink and get the second free all while listening to rock and jazz. Enjoy a sip a drink or two, as it doesn’t get any better…. saluti!!!!

Travel stylishly,
K
