Melanie Veighey-Koufos
My name is Melanie Veighey-Koufos; I am from Bangor, Northern Ireland. I first came to Rhodes in July 1979. I'm just realising, that was 30 years ago this year. (I was a child... )
We chose Rhodes quite randomly, and I had certainly never heard of Lindos, so when the public bus trundled around ‘Ooh aah' corner, I thought to myself, that it had been kept a well hidden secret. Staggering off the bus in the Main Square of the village, suitcase in one hand and back pack on my shoulders, I thought, 'What now'? Lindos was quite the trendy 'in' place to be, and there wasn't a room to be had anywhere. Our first port of call was the infamous Alexis Bar, and from there we found a roof top to spend the night on, with the promise of a room the following day.
