Flights and Transfers for Tilos
General Flight Information
Departures/arrivals are on Wednedays only.
Flights to Rhodes on Wednesdays are available from
a number of regional airports – please let
us know which is your nearest airport when making
a booking. Please bear in mind that flights from
smaller regional airports may be more expensive
but this may be less than the expense of travelling
to Gatwick or Manchester and staying in a hotel
there and paying for parking.
Flights are booked on-line at the time of booking
and may vary in price – particluarly in high
season or popular departure dates – I will
always try to get the best price for you and ensure
that the flight time will be in time for the boat
departure. Occasionally flight times may change
– usually this is not a huge change and will
not affect your holiday. In the event that a flight
time change will mean that you will miss the boat,
you have the option of cancelling your flight and
re-booking (with the loss of the flight deposit)
or overnighting in Rhodes until the next connection.
Check-in is two hours prior to departure.
Extra Legroom
Extra legroom seats may be booked in advance –
please be aware that there is charge for this. Contact
your airline direct.
Dietary Requirements
If you require a vegetarian meal or have any other
special dietary requirements, please let us know
at the time of booking and we shall pass your request
on to the airline. However, please note that these
are requests and cannot be guaranteed.
Luggage Restrictions & Info
As a general rule, try to keep your luggage as small
(and light) as possible. You are responsible for
taking your own luggage on and off the boat and
in some cases part of the way to your accommodation.
Tilos is very informal and hairdryers, kettles &
irons are supplied in all accommodation and books
can be left in the library if you have read them.
At present luggage restrictions for charter flights
are as follows:- one item of hand luggage only no
larger than :
56 cm/22inches tall 45 cm/17.7inches wide 25cm/10
inches deep
Liquids should be packed in luggage for the hold
wherever possible. Any liquids carried in hand luggage
must be in containers no larger than 100ml which
must be carried in a transparent resealable bag.
Luggage for the hold should weigh no more than
20Kg per person.
Airport Parking & Hotels
If you require airport parking or a hotel, please
let us know and we can quote for this.
Transfers from the Airport to Tilos
You will be met at the airport by a Little Island
Representative who will advise you of the details
of your transfer. As we will be meeting many different
flights this year, there may be a short wait before
your minibus/coach departs. If this is the case,
we shall advise you so you may make use of your
time.
On arrival at the harbour in Rhodes, you will
be able to stow your luggage aboard the boat and
then enjoy free time in Rhodes before sailing. Your
Little Island representative will be able to advise
you of prevailing weather conditions – if
you suffer from sea sickness please carry a remedy
with you from the UK and don't forget to take it
at least one hour prior to departure.
If weather conditions are poor and we are prevented
from sailing, we shall arrange a hotel on your behalf
and keep you informed of the next available crossing
but please note that the expense of this will be
your own. Thankfully since the introduction of the
island's own boat, Sea Star, this is a rare occurrence.
When boarding the Sea Star, please have your Confirmation
Invoice with you.
Most importantly – TRAVEL LIGHT!
Tilos Sea Star – the island's own catamaran/hovercraft
