September Flights Booked

Postby D and E » 01 Jul 2016, 10:19

After the disastrous outcome of the EURef :( (sorry to any Outers - its not political just our personal view) and the resultant fall out - check out that Euro Rate :o we have cheered ourselves up and booked our flights to Rhodes.
Our plans to come via Athens have had to be put on hold for another year as we were determined to have two weeks on Symi and overlap with our Swedish friends who we first met many years ago in Margaritas apartments round at Nos. We think we would really need a three week break to come via Athens and still have time to get round all those wonderful restaurants on Symi and that has not been possible due to E's work commitments (D now being semi-retired :D )
So in 89 days, according to their wonderful App through which you can book, pay, reserve seats, check-in, download boarding passes to the phone - just scan the phone at bag drop and again at security and that's it - no paper involved at all - it will EasyJet from Gatwick on Sept 28th.
Have decided on the same 05:30 flight that we went out on in May so we should have no problem with ferries which we will check and book closer to the time.
Margarita has confirmed back that all is fine on the accommodation front - in fact we are going to be in a different room from our usual Room 2 so that is quite exciting.
The return flight is at 12:15 on 12th October so we should be OK with the morning Paros ferry but Margarita is an avid watcher of marine traffic and keeps us right and if we have to leave the day before a night in the Best Western Plaza is always a pleasure.
So now to plan the Mid Wales to Gatwick trip : one way hire car can be more economic than airport parking but also our TwoTogether Railcard is a possibility. Our favourite Sofitel stop over is a must.
So its 89 and counting :D

We'll be winging our way back to Gatwick on 28th September. Will make sure a few Symi chairs are well warmed for you!

So close to an overlap - a chat over an ouzo in our favourite seats in our favourite bar would have been nice :D

Danes on Symi in September

In two months we´ll be on our way to Symi right now.
We´ll stay at Taxiarchis for almost two weeks.
On our first evening out we plan to eat at Meraklis as we´ve done all the times we have been on Symi.
Our other favourite restaurants are at Zoe´s in Chorio and at Mythos in Yalos, but we´re looking forward to visit and eat at other restaurants as well on Symi.
Our night caps we have on Leftiris Cafenion in Chorio and sometimes on Pachos in Yalos.
We´re looking forward to visit our favourite holiday spot with it´s wonderful people and beautiful nature.

It's good to hear your holiday is getting close. Those two months will fly by now and you'll be on Symi before you know it.

Coincidentally, I was staying at Taxiarchis a few weeks ago and for part of that time we were joined by Mille, the other administrator of this forum who is Danish. So there were Danes on Symi in June too! :D

It sounds like you have your holiday nicely planned out and you have some good suggestions for eating and drinking places there. If you need any more ideas just look through the recent holiday blog posts by D&E and Silverfox.

I'll be on the island again in September (though not in Taxiarchis this time) so maybe we'll bump into each other somewhere.
