I and my partner are thinking of getting married in Kos and was wandering if anybody would be able to recommend a specific hotel we are looking to go all inclusive as we have 3 children and we all know how much kids can eat and would also like to know more about the actual ceremony and what we could do for a reception we have roughly 10 family members travelling with us. We would also like to know about the paperwork involved and when would be the best time to go out there looking forward to seeing replies.
many thanks

hi ,im going to lardos in august and wondered if they have mopeds for hire and price. anyone help ? thanks

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.

Has anybody stayed in either of the above?

Hi,
I was wondering whether anybody knows of anywhere to look out for the traditional Greek dancing in Lindos. I've enjoyed several Greek dancing evenings during previous holidays on other Greek islands, but when we were in Thassos last year we didn't see any mention of it. Having never visited Lindos before I thought it might be good to know if there was anywhere to look out for before we go on holiday.
Thank you,

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 @
www.panoramastudios-rhodes.gr

can you inform me if the summer palace hotel has tea making facilities in their rooms.

thank you

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 ?

my daughter is going to kos to get married she is looking for somewhere to hold a reception after the cermony in kos town hall, ,for 25 to 30 people. her requests are good food pleasant staff and anice view . thankyou

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

does anyone know how much a taxi costs from Lindos to the airport

I have a family trip booked to Kos in July, for myself my partner, her two daughters and a friend.


(so 3 girls, 15, 15 and 10)


the 10 year old is quite disabled. She is a bit unsteady walking and is very obsessive in an autistic like way.




We had booked the Aqua Club, but apparently it has gone out of business, so we have been moved to the "aegean view" It has very mixed reviews on trip advisor, but I think between the lines it will probably suit us (I am a bit wary about reviews from people I have not seen posting here or there as well).




we do wnat to try and get to see some of the island. All the girls will be happy on a nice beach, and wil tolerate some sightseeing, in short bursts. I think we will need to hire a car to do any sightseeing, as any kind of queuing is a bit of a problem for the little one. Anyhting with animals works well. as does anyhting where she can get wet (and not drown)..






so.. any ideas.. and where to look for car hire.. and any commenst about the hotel itself. 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.

We are sailing a small boat (40 ft) to some of the greek islands the 1st 2 weeks of June. I have been given Symi to research. Looking for any information about good anchoring spots. Also if any one knows about provision possiblities on Symi such as water and refueling. Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks!

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.

hi,
Can you recommend about rooms to let for a week- 10 days in Mandraki Nisyros for 2 or 5 persons ?

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

Mike
