Η απάντηση στην προηγούμενη ανάρτηση μου, έφτασε και ωφείλω να την αναρτήσω:
Dear Axilleas,
Thank you for writing in – please find the editor’s response below. He has asked me to say that we did explain that the island is Greek later in the article, but should have made that much clearer on the first two pages. Please could you also notify the people on your mailing list of our statement.
Kind regards,
Rory
Editorial Assistant, Lonely Planet Magazine
‘I’m sorry that our magazine feature titled “How about Turkey for Christmas?” created the impression that Kastelorizo might be a Turkish island. While the other destinations covered in the article are Turkish, I was aware and ensured we stated that Kastelorizo is Greek. With hindsight we could have made the nationality of the island even clearer. I apologise to anyone who felt offended by this. Our intent was entirely to help travellers discover some beautiful places to visit, including the Greek island of Kastelorizo, and this oversight came about during the hectic period of creating our first-ever issue. In our March issue (as our February issue has just gone to print) we will publish representative examples of the letters we’ve received with a clarification.’

Επίσης μια μέρα αργότερα έλαβα και το κάτωθι email.
Hi Axilleas,
Thanks for writing in - and sorry for any offence caused by the article in the first issue of the Lonely Planet magazine. We certainly didn't intend to mislead anyone reading the article about the true Greek nationality of Kastellorizo, or to offend anyone.
The editor will be including a clarification in the March issue of the magazine and in the meantime he's written this statement:
