We were unfortunate enough to get the foyer of The International Hotel a couple of weeks ago, we spent from 3am until 8am trying to get a bit of sleep leaned over a small table. The hotel guests starting coming down for their buffet breakfast from 7am which was set up at the rear of the foyer, we were not even offered a drink, a pre ordered taxi picked us up to take us to the port. After one week on Symi, the Olympic rep. started, I asked our neighbours when their welcome meeting was, it had already taken place we had not been invited. The first time we met the Olympic rep. she told us our departure details, she met us at the ferry in Symi to give us our tickets, and explain that a taxi would collect us when we arrived in Rhodes, we travelled across with another couple who were flying back to Birmingham, we were going to Gatwick. Guess what no taxi when we arrived in Rhodes, after several people trying to help, the lady in the ferry office was very helpful, after 45 mins waiting, Olympic excuse was taxi was at the wrong port, another taxi was sent and took all 4 of us plus luggage to The International Hotel where is was securely locked away, whilst we walked around Rhodes Town until 11pm, when we returned we awaited our pick up coach around midnight. We had a fantastic holiday, staying at the Taxiarchis for 2 weeks, extremely hot weather, maybe we'll be back sometime. The Olympic rep. Is called Nicholette, and seems very nice.
