Hello all friendly Greek folks!

I visited our beautiful sunny island a year ago and in one of the shops in the old town, I bought several pairs of sandals. The typical greek ones. Unfortunately I have worn them out. I am therefore looking for someone who knows the sandalmaker I'm thinking about. It was a son/father shop and the name of it was "Apokourastos". In my sandals it says "handmade sandals Apokourastos"
I would be very happy if someone could give me the adress or perhaps a homepage adress(if they have one) I know it's a lot to ask for but I would really appreciate it.

Yours sincerely

My partner and I want a week in the sun, fancy the Greek Islands, either Rhodes, Kos or Crete. We don't want loads of kids drinking, puking and dancing all night, but we do want some nightlife, and we want a beach and lots of interesting ancient ruins to look at during the day - which is best? - Rhodes, Crete or Kos? Any info or hints and tips on any of these islands will be greatley appreciated. Thanks.

My stay in Rhodes with my wife and daughter in October is too short that we have only one day to tour the Old Town. Anyone have any suggestion on how we can maximize this one day sightseeing? I am thinking of a driver with a car and can take us anywhere we want to from morning till late in the afternoon to get ready to go to the Diagoras Airport bound for Cyprus. Your advice will be appreciated.

It is unfortunate that I have to stay only one night in Rhodes in October with my wife and grown-up daughter. I have been trying to book by email in two different hotels but have not received their reply.
Please help me find a place to stay with my family. I will appreciate your help. We are coming from Marmaris Turkey and stay one night and tour Rhodes the whole day and fly bound to Larnaca Cyprus in late afternoon.
Thank you very much guys.

Do you have Dolphins around Rhodes, and can you swim with them?

Hello!

Has anyone stayed at "Hotel Meandros" before? It is a 2*+ Hotel in Archangelos, but I just wanted to know if it is good and clean enough to sleep in it????

Aswell I would need advice on good restaurants in Archangelos or in the area!!

Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone, i am off to these apartments at the end of aug with my friend, it is our first time away and can't find anything about the millenium studios/apts that we have booked to stay at. I have been to rhodes twice before and stayed at the kiotari bay hotel which was lovely, and there's plenty of info for those... have i made a mistake????? lol lol if anyone can help me at all in anyway and give me any info on the apartment and/ or the area of faliraki i would be very very greatful.
Thankyou for your time

I am coming over from marmaris in turkey to rhodes greece so i can renew my turkish visa on the way back again can i do it on a return day trip or will i have to spend a day or two in rhodes if so is there a cheap pension or hostel there?

This might seem like a stupid question, but do low-ish cost studios in Lindos provide towels and bedding, or are you expected to bring them with you?

If anyone can give any guidance that'd be great - Travel agent thinks so, but hasn't got back to me to give a definite answer...though VTers would be able to come to my rescue!

Hello,

How easy to commute from Rhodes to Mykonos with a ferry? Are there any ferries everyday and how long does it take? I appreciate your answers.

I just wanted to thank everyone in the forum who gave me advice last year about traveling to Rhodes for my wife's 50th birthday. We'll we didn't make it until her 51st birthday but we did this past May and had a brilliant time, absolutely fantastic. We didn't want to come home. Unfortunately, jobs and kids got the best of us! So thanks for all the help! Can't wait to go back! Gene

Hello,
My boyfriend and I are coming to Rhodes in July to kitesurf, visit the island & sleep off the stress of the city. Does anyoneone know where we can find an appartment, B&B, small hotel on the west coast (far enough South not to be in the line of the airport)?
Up in the hills would also be great.
Thank you, Claire

In an earlier post i asked for photos of these studios near Ladiko . Have now found @

We are moving from the UK to Rhodes in June 2009. Will it be cheaper to send household items by courier service or freight forwarding company ?

have recently booked to stay in here in July and was after some advice.

Im aware that this is a fairly quiet resort but just wanted to ckecj how isloated it is, and how much a cab would cost to either Lindos or rhodes town for example. Are that accessible by public transport at all ?

Thanks

We are arriving by ship, could you tell me the best and cheapest way of getting around the island.
Thank you.

We are arriving by ship, what is the cheapest and beat way to get around Rhodes.

I am staying at hotel Ialyssos. I need the directions to Kalithea and Ladico.
Also does anyone know if there is a climbig club or guiding on Rhodes?
Any info on climbing in the area would be helpful.

I am travelling from Marmaris Turkey to Limassol or Paphos Cyprus. It looks like there is no transport directly between Marmaris and Limassol/Paphos so I am thinking of going by ferry to Rhodes Island in Greece and head to Cyprus from there. Please let me know if this is a good idea or do you have any other suggestions. Thanks for your help.

Will be in Rhodes for 3 nights first few days of October, looking for good 3 star accommodation, in old town or walking distance, no preference as to large or small hotel, B&B, but must be clean, nice bathroom and quiet after 10pm. Local character would be a bonus and view, does not have to be sea view, could be old city etc.

Air conditioning might be essential at that time of year?

Have seen a few reviews & recommendations on the following:

Mediterranean Hotel
City Center Rhodes Town
The Pink elephant Pension
Best Western Plaza Hotel

Your comments and recommendation will be appreciated.

We have 8 days in Greece arriving 28th September & departing 6th October, really 6 days after late arrival Athens and departure to Australia on last day.

Intend to fly to Santorini for 2 nights and then 3 nights Rhodes before flying back to Athens for 2 nights.

Does the hydrofoil run from Santorini to Rhodes daily?
How long will the trip take, and is it possible that the ferry might cancel due to weather etc?

Are there daily direct flights Santorini to Rhodes and how long is flight. I think flying would be best but that would mean we would not do any "Island Hopping" by ferry during our visit. Perhaps we could do a day trip to Kos from Rhodes and get our "Ferry Fix". Any web pages with Sept/Oct timetables?

All responses will be appreciated

Has anyone been to the valley of the butterflies on the island of rhodes? How can you get the from rhodes city? Would there be any butterflies in mid-may? Is public transportation reliable on the island?

Hey all I will be travelling in Greece this June and I have again run into a snag with my ferry routes. I will be in Kos from June 13 to June 16, leaving then for Rhodes. But there is apparently no ferries that run @ normal times between Kos and Rhodes. I thought this was supposed to be an extremely popular route. Any suggestions on what to do?

My friend and I have booked a weeks holiday to Lindos in June this year. I'm really excited and was wondering whether anyone had and tips or advice for making the most of our time. Also, does anyone know how much a taxi would cost between Rhodes town and Lindos, or whether there are any boat trips there for an evening. Also, are Greek dancing evenings easy to find in Lindos? Is it going to be a very expensive holiday? We're both 18, but not looking for the nightlife of Faliraki or Kavos etc. Does Lindos have a good nightlife (not crazy clubbing - just a good atmosphere!)?
Thanks in advance if anyone can help,
Amy

Has anyone stayed in these studios? If so could you tell me, do they have electric kettles and teapots? We British like our morning cuppa, and much better if a kettle is available. Also anything else you can tell me about these studios and apartments would be appreciated. Have stayed in Lardos a few years ago and enjoyed it. The Cosmos Maris probably not even built then, but they look very nice. Thankyou for any info you can give.
