Should I still go on holiday to Rhodes in two weeks?

Q We are due to fly out to Rhodes, staying in the affected resort of Kiotari, on 9 August and are trying without success to cancel. I appreciate this is two weeks away but I feel it’s just too much to continue with the holiday, putting pressure on Greek resources and people already stranded there. Would you travel to Rhodes right now?

A I sympathise with everyone who is feeling apprehensive about travelling to an island that, in places, is nothing short of a disaster area. Even though distressed and exhausted holidaymakers are still trying to return from Rhodes, some tourists have been proceeding with their trips as booked in the past few days. But, like you, I would not travel there immediately – and for the same reasons. With people still trying to get out and the infrastructure under pressure, it would be unhelpful.
