Just thought I'd update that this week Symi passengers were put up at the Tina Studios in Falarki. The Small Planet flight left on time and we were dropped off shortly before 2am. The room was adequate for an overnight stay - quite a big studio - though the man behind the bar initially thought I was sharing with a male solo traveller who I had never met before He did seem surprised when only 4 of our turned up, he must have been expecting 3 couples.
Quite a noisy hotel, due to a girl standing by the stairs talking very loudly to somebody upstairs. I did think about going outside and saying it's 2am and people want to get to sleep but that's probably the norm for Falaraki. The bar was still open when we left at 7. I managed to get a few hours sleep before the ferry so that's the main thing
