·

The Municipality of Rhodes has honoured a British couple, Alexander and Gail Conn, with a platinum plaque for their remarkable loyalty in visiting the island more than 100 times.

According to ekathimerini.com, since the 1990s, the Conns have been traveling to Rhodes four to five times each year, developing a deep affection for the island and forming lasting friendships, including with local businessman Michalis Diakoulas, who accompanied them to the award ceremony.

The couple has consistently stayed at the Lindos Blue Sky Hotel and now plan to purchase a home on the island.

“Rhodes is the choice of our hearts and souls, and this is the Rhodes we want to share with our fellow countrymen. We have come to love and admire its unique hospitality,” the couple told Deputy Mayor of Culture and Tourism, George Toppos, expressing their gratitude for the special recognition.
