Lindos Acropolis, where history and mythology come to life.

I want to share with you all about one of the most breathtaking places I've ever been to - Lindos Acropolis on the Greek island of Lindos in the Dodecanese.

Perched atop a hill overlooking the Aegean Sea, the Lindos Acropolis is an ancient citadel that dates back to the 4th century BC. It's a place steeped in history and mythology, and walking through its ruins, you can't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder.

According to legend, the Acropolis was once the home of the mythological Lindian Athena, who was said to have protected the city from enemy invasions.

As you make your way up the hill to the Acropolis, you'll be greeted by the stunning Doric temple dedicated to Athena Lindia, considered one of the best-preserved temples in Greece. The temple dates back to the 3rd century BC. It is a testament to the skill and artistry of the ancient Greek architects and sculptors.

Once you reach the top of the hill, you'll be treated to panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and the surrounding countryside. The Lindos Acropolis is surrounded by a fortified wall, which gives you a sense of how important this site was to the ancient Lindians. The ruins of the ancient houses and buildings are scattered throughout the area, providing a glimpse into what life was like in this ancient city.

It's a place that will leave you in awe of the beauty and history of Greece. And remember to bring your camera, because the views are truly breathtaking.

On the bow stood a statue of General Hagesander (He is said to have successfully led his men against pirates in 190 BC.) the work of the sculptor Pythokritos. The relief dates from about 180 BC.

Kamiros.

I loved this ruined city and could have spent a good hour or so exploring it, but my friends, who I was on holiday with, don't share my enthusiasm for history, so was there for about 30 minutes grabbing as many pics as I could.

Kamiros (Kameiros) was an ancient city on the island of Rhodes, with ruins that include an acropolis. Excavations have revealed a long a diverse history at Kamiros, including a temple dedicated to Athena dating to the 8th century BC.

Located on Rhodes’s north-western coast, the other side of the island from the more popular beaches, Kamiros is well worth a visit. It is easily accessible by car and less crowded than the better-known acropolis of Lindos. Unlike Lindos, the ancient city of Kamiros has not been overlaid by a modern town, so its geography remains visible to the visitor.

The acropolis commands fabulous views across the sea to the coast of Turkey, and below it is, reasonably well preserved, the remains of a town with all its ancient conveniences. If you have a car, and are prepared to explore the less touristy side of the island, you will see stunning countryside, including Rhodes’s highest mountain, looming at over 1000m, and the Island’s own wine producing region, Embonas.

Hallmark’s ‘The Wedding Veil Journey’ Stars Muse Who Inspired Several Beatles Songs

January 21, 2023

Hallmark Channel, News

Hallmark’s The Wedding Veil Journey stars Alison Sweeney, Victor Webster, Lacey Chabert, Autumn Reeser, and Jane Asher, the woman that inspired such Beatles’ classics as “I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “I’m Looking Through You,” “And I Love Her.”

Who is Actress Jane Asher From Hallmark’s The Wedding Veil Journey?

London-born actress Jane Asher started acting at the age of six. However, according to the Telegraph, Jane Asher’s life changed in 1963 when she interviewed Paul McCartney of the Beatles. They went on to date for five years. Moreover, they even got engaged. Jane inspired many of McCartney’s iconic songs that include “We Can Work It Out,” and “Martha My Dear.”

However, despite being a muse to one of the most famous songwriters in the world, she was determined to continue her acting career. Most of all, she does not like to talk about McCartney or this time of her life.

In addition, Jane’s brother Peter Asher recorded McCartney-Lennon reject songs in the duo, Peter And Gordon. Peter eventually became a manager and producer who helped along James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt’s careers. He was very sought out in the 70s.

Jane Asher Is An Entrepreneur And Writer

The Hallmark star is more than an actress. Jane Asher has written over a dozen books. This includes three novels called, The Longing, The Question, and Losing It. However, most of her books are non-fiction. They focus on baking and lifestyle.

She is a British Martha Stewart. In her books, Jane shows people how to paint furniture and cake decorating. She even has a book on how to create costumes for children. Most of all, her years of working in showbiz gave her some good tips on creating good costumes.

In addition, the mother of three also is an entrepreneur, owning a cake shop when her children were young.

However, acting has been her primary career.

Jane Asher’s Successful Love Life

Although being a muse was not meant to be, Jane Asher’s love life is something out of a Hallmark movie. Three years after she publicly broke it off with McCartney, she met cartoonist Gerald Scarfe. He is best known for his work in The New Yorker, The Times, and Pink Floyd’s The Wall.

Moreover, they have now been married for over 40 years, and together for over 50.

What Is Hallmark’s The Wedding Veil Journey About?

The final Hallmark movie in the popular sequel trilogy is The Wedding Veil Journey. What is it about?

According to the Hallmark synopsis, “Tracy and Nick agree to set aside work to make time for a long overdue honeymoon to Greece. When they are stranded on a secluded island, they confront their life choices.”

We don’t know much about Jane Asher’s character, Lady Dalton. However, it looks like she could watch the magic of the veil work on someone close to her.

Best of all, they filmed this movie in Greece! They filmed this movie on the Greek island of Rhodes. Sir Ron Oliver directed this movie. Moreover, this is a historic movie for Hallmark. This is the first time that a movie has been filmed at the Acropolis of Lindos.
