Symi Chat

Brilliant Julie! Hope your head was ok this morning

Like D&E I've resigned myself to not getting back to Symi this year and hope that everyone on Symi stays safe and this horrible virus stays away. I know that bars and restaurants have started to open now on Symi and hope they survive with less tourists. I will really miss reading D&E's fantastic blog and hearing about the wonderful meals they would be eating. Let's hope that things improve worldwide and we can all get back to the island we love before too long.

Missing Symi too. Due to go on 12th September for my big birthday but alas won't be going. Due to pay our balance this month and don't want to end up out of pocket as think by September the flights may well be on. Don't have a problem with being in Greece but not keen being in an airport or sitting on a plane for four and a half hours breathing in recycled air as we both have underlying health conditions. Will just have to keep our fingers crossed for next year . Stay safe everyone

Agree with MrsMcS about planes & airports,
We have cancelled our 3 weeks @ Nireus from 2 September'20 as balance was due on 10 June
Lost small-ish deposit, but got a big discount for re-booking next September!

Good luck to those still going this year, and stay safe.

Inge and I are also missing Symi but have booked 14 days at Taxiarchis in September and hope so much that there will be no restrictions from Greek or Danish authorities.
Just to let you know that some of the people who go to Symi every summer will be there also this year.
We´ll look forward to see all the Symifans that have been forced to cancel this summer in 2021.

Also had to cancel as too many uncertainties about getting there. Lost deposit but have booked for three weeks next year!

My wife and I should have been on the island at the beginning of July for a week as usual, but Olympic cancelled our holiday....boo hoo. Still we have booked for two weeks next year, so what’s 12 months between friends.

I am still hoping that I can get to Symi on the 28th September. I have even more of a wish to go as I have very wonderfully also won a week at the Old Markets!!! As I am going for 3 weeks and it is my 60th birthday, so a special holiday - I can stay some of the time in the harbour, and then some of the time in their sister hotel in Nimborio! It will make up for all the missed birthday parties!

Wow - what a fabulous prize! Congratulations on winning and for your special birthday too. Fingers crossed that September holidays will go ahead. We're due to fly on 23rd September but without up to date ferry schedules are not sure just when we'll arrive on Symi.

Huge congratulations on winning that wonderful prize!
I had a look around the Old Markets a few years ago and it really was impressive. They will look after you and make your special birthday extra special.
