We spent a week on Rhodes last autumn, the holiday was great. Athough (as seems to be a pattern for me and planes) the travelling wasn't exactly easy.
On the way out there, we arrived just in time to catch the last three hours of a baggage handlers striike at the airport.
On the way back, some nurk managed to break all of Greek air traffic control (with the net result that nothing was allowed in the air for 12 hours), the plane that we were supposed to be on got diverted to Bulgaria for the night.
On reflection, I can think of an awful lot worse places to be stranded...
