At the end of June we took the hydrofoil from Bodrum to Rhodes. (was only 2 hours). Rhodes is a beautiful island with an amazing old walled city that was under Ottoman control for a few hundred years before Italy took over at the beginning of the 2oth century. (now part of Greece.) We spent 2 days there and then 2 more on Kos, which is just across from Bodrum. (We can see the cars driving on Kos from our balcony in Bodrum.) We had a great time exploring the old town and driving around the island to see the ancient city ruins.
