For those of you out there who love a bargain, from June 12th Easyjet are flying from Liverpool to Rhodes. At the moment Lpl to Rho on the 12th is 35 pounds and return on the 19th 45 pounds. Get in there quick!!!!!!!

How long before the first helpless case asks which hotel they get taken to, whilst awaiting the ferry ???

That's a bit scathing, Bluenose. I really don't think that even the most naive person would expect an hotel on a flight only ticket!

well the May visit is booked.....

Olympic has come up with a price I could not say no to

by **Kojak** » 19 Dec 2009, 18:45

I take you mean Olympic hilidays, Peter? They are very good value if you book early and online. I shouldn't say that because I'll be most annoyed if I can't get a room in future!

Their prices really are amazing and not just for Symi....I've paid almost as much just for the flights in the past. Leaves with more spending money for meals and :geek:

Thanks, Symireps.....just booked our return flight from Rhodes to Liverpool at a great price.

Hear hear Norman, we must stop mentioning it or there won't be any rooms for us old Olympic regulars - I think it's time we got a loyalty discount

I don't know about the rest of you but it's very deep and crisp and even around here and very cold. And it's still snowing. Only one more day to struggle into work before the Christmas hols, not back in work until 29th so it's a good break this year.Happy Christmas to everyone who knows me and those who don't too. :mrgreen:

PS. for those of you who know Cathy of the broken wrist on Symi fame, she slipped today and broken the other one! :cry:

And sober again - I think there's a moral there somewhere

Please give her our love.

Hi Colette, sorry to hear about Cathy give her our best wishes for a speedy recovery and tell her to drink more as she doesn't seem to hurt herself when she's had a few. Best wishes to you for a happy xmas and a great 2010 and we'll see you in June.

Don't want to put a downer on Olympic as we do use their excellent services from time to time but we wonder who loses out in the supply chain that allows us such cheap holidays. We remember years ago when Frank (Taxiarchis) was linked to a package company being told how brutal the negotiations were and how little was paid to the accommodation provider :( However market forces are market forces and with the � / Euro not looking like it will improve we need to find the best deals possible and this Forum can be such a powerful tool for this.

A good example being the great news about EasyJet from Liverpool - thanks SymiReps :) - we have now booked the September trip which for two of us with baggage and taxes has come in under �200 :) :) :) less than half what we paid for flights in October 2009 and we do scour the net for prices. Here's hoping that business levels from Liverpool to Rhodes make this a regular route :D

Now to browse the Olympic site to see if we can get a week in May :)

Nail on the head D and E when you state this forum could be a powerful tool. Bang on as well when you say that somewhere along the food chain someone's got to lose out and it is usually the accomodation provider. We Scots in the north here would love it if there was an accessible flight from one of the Scottish airports - i am sure there is a market for it.

Just in case you hadn't spotted it, Andy Ward has started a travel blog on our new accommodation site, in which he discusses all the latest flight news for visitors to Symi. You can read his blog here: http://symivisitor-accommodation.com/blog/

Message for Andy - the email link on the Blog page may be faulty ? Tried to drop you a note but got a failure notice.

The cheapest flights I've found for any trip from Bristol to Rhodes is Viking through Travel Republic....e.g. September �194! May is even cheaper. Half the price of Thomas Cook or Thomsons.
