Do People Still go to Meis?

[Scunner]

Now the visa hops are pretty much a thing of the past, I can imagine people taking a day trip to Rhodes but do boats still go to Meis? It was good fun popping over (I used to go even though I had residency ) but there isn't exactly much to do there - so did all the boats stop going?

Went for a day trip last September, with a couple of friends. on Meis Express's boat. There were a number of other day trippers on the boat & some with suitcases.

The only market of note still trading was the one in the back street & there were only 4ltrs Gordons gin & 2ltrs vodka in duty free, when the ferry arrived, but the 3 of us soon cleared the shelves! Worth the trip for the pork chop lunch alone

Great stuff Liz - good to hear.

I was trying to remember all the odd things that we used to get excited about in the tiny shop in Meis. Not just pork products - Cadbury's drinking chocolate, evaporated milk, grapefruit juice...if you haven't lived it you'd never understand  

Rhodes was great too - vacuum packed ham and croissants from Lidl - Kerrygold cheddar, McVities chocolate digestives and salted butter from the big Spar across the road - great times indeed.

There are still boats going and we were just talking about this the other day on a recent visit to Kaş. It has to be worth going still just for a pleasant lunch and a few bottles of Duty Free and big bars of Cadbury's of milk chocolate.

Couldn't agree more

Seem to remember getting excited about the Jacob's cream crackers to go with the cheddar, Hobnobs, both with & without chocolate & the Coleman's mustard at a sensible price! Aaww simple things...............

I remember buying one of the most exciting things ever in Marks & Spencer in Rhodes Town - a decent corkscrew!! So good that I had to get one for Cenk & Olga next time we went there

We go once every year wıth vısıtors cos ıts a nıce day out.

We go at least once a year, sometimes more. Love the laid back ambience, a long leisurely lunch with a couple of bottles of retsina,  make it well worth it. Oh, and the duty free and bacon of course...
