Our last full day on Symi

After a morning at the Olive Tree, we went off for a walk down through Yialos which is filling up with visitors especially now that the day trips from Rhodes have started. We sat in the shade above Nos beach for a breather and saw four dolphins working their way around the mouth of the harbour. My camera wasn't up to catching them unfortunately although Su got a distant shot of one of them.What I did see was lots of these swan planters!





After that we carried on round to Nimborio where we went for a very quick dip in the definitely cool water. It was really peaceful with nobody about apart from a yacht in the middle of the bay and some people working on a boat over the other side.





We came back over the top of the hill via the church where we sat and admired the view. Talked about possible schemes and ideas about what we could do and where. Got excited about some of these ideas which we'll work on before we tell you more.


Got home and watched interesting programme (with a boring presenter) about Greek myths (which apparently incorporate lots of earlier Hittite ones) before going out for nice meal at Syllogos. Dropped into the Sunrise on our way home and left later than we intended for some reason... Heard there that not all the explosions were dynamite - some were fertilizer bombs! I wonder if Symi is on a US watch list?

Woke up this morning to wind and rain, so we're hoping that eases off before our ferry to Rhodes this afternoon.

  1. Hope you enjoyed your last day. I saw that Greek Myths programme. Really interesting - apart from the presenter!
