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 :D ) 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 :P

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...

Thanks Bunnyhopper, there was a time when I'd have jumped straight in the car on reading that! Like I keep saying, far too easy living out there these days :)
How much is a trip to Meis these days? Totally agree it's a treat of a day out.
-

The ferry is 50 TL return, so not too bad. Plus the cost of getting to Kas of course...

This has got me all nostalgic, I don't mind admitting. I might have to do this next time we holiday over there :)

Its just a lovely day out to be enjoyed regardless
