'I flew to Rhodes for a wedding and I ended up sharing a mattress with a couple in the STREET'
A British man who flew to Rhodes for his cousin's wedding says he never wants to go on holiday again as raging wildfires have wrecked his break and left the island in 'a mess'.
"We had about 20 minutes sleep and I am covered in bites as the bed was covered in ants", the 27-year-old told the Mirror with the sound of wailing children in the background heard over the phone.Despite the emergency unfolding on the island with wildfires simmering, Andrew was able to board his TUI flight. He said there was a slight delay but eventually the pilot announced: "That it was safe enough and that all the hotels are open and fine.
"We got there in the pitch black and were shown inside. It was 30 people to a room, so we camped outside. There's no aircon inside. We can't even shower or anything, I have not cleaned my teeth and the toilet is just a hole in the floor. A spokesperson for TUI said: "Those customers currently in Rhodes will return on their intended flight home. The safety and well-being of our customers and teams remain our top priority."
