Junction 9 Posted 13 June, 2012 Share Posted 13 June, 2012 Anyone been? Your tips and suggestions please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 13 June, 2012 Share Posted 13 June, 2012 Anyone been? Your tips and suggestions please. We went last year. People are great and very friendly. Beaches aren't as nice as some Greek Islands, prefered Kos to be honest. But we went all inclusive so stayed on the site most of the time. Mrs Duck loved Rhodes Town, but I didn't see the attraction to be honest. The Greek people and the weather make it a fantastic holiday destination, but the past 2 years we've suffered delays and disruption at air ports and last year there was a taxi drivers strike. We are not going back this year, purely because of that, we were 5 hours sat on the plane last year, due to a strike and twice people left the hotel, only to come back later that night, again because of strike action whilst flying home. Just didn't want to risk hassle this year, as it maybe worse. Dont want to put you off, because it's got to be my fav holiday country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the colonel Posted 13 June, 2012 Share Posted 13 June, 2012 I haven't been for years but Lindos must be at or near the top of anyones agenda. Great little town with horseshoe shaped cove and beach plus an acropolis at the top of the hill. Great to climb on a donkey to ride up there.

View From The Top Posted 13 June, 2012 Share Posted 13 June, 2012 Much better islands IMHO but I've always had a good time there. Thinking of taking the kids to one of the islands next May, not sure where though at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissyboy31 Posted 13 June, 2012 Share Posted 13 June, 2012 Been once. Stayed in Lindos which was really picturesque but quiet. It was April and 1989, (Hillsborough happen while we were there) so it may well have changed. BTW I thought this thread was about a Huddersfield striker.

dune Posted 13 June, 2012 Share Posted 13 June, 2012 I thought it was about my favourite Imperialist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 13 June, 2012 Share Posted 13 June, 2012 I thought we had put in a bid for the Huddersfield striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyo-Saint Posted 13 June, 2012 Share Posted 13 June, 2012 I thought we had put in a bid for the Huddersfield striker. Me too, then realised it was the lounge and thought he must have been arrested for rape and/or drink driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 13 June, 2012 Share Posted 13 June, 2012 Me too, then realised it was the lounge and thought he must have been arrested for rape and/or drink driving. Really? When i realised it was the lounge I thought it would be some incredibly interesting conversation between BTF, Saint Andy and Pap about if the policital landscape in Greece meant Rhodes would now be Turkish (the country, not mine) or something equally as fascinating.

Do you know Dune is a right wing conservative/UKIP and doesnt like people from other countries that don't have the same queen as us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Saint Posted 13 June, 2012 Share Posted 13 June, 2012 Stayed in tholos about 10 years ago - was nice at the time. Rhodes town was a nice day out as was lindos. The lindos (south) side of the island is about ten degrees hotter than the north. Lindos regularly get above 40 degrees in high summer so you may wish to avoid at that time. Party time - head for Falaraki Give my love to papa ouzo if you bump into him (last seen in afandou) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durleyfos Posted 14 June, 2012 Share Posted 14 June, 2012 Went to Faliraki back in the 90s. Dont remember much about to be honest. Hope this was helpfull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
