Symi, Simi, Syme, Σύμης. Call it what you want.

Life on Symi, (or however you want to spell it) is all good. As spring marches on, the temperatures are climbing, and the Island starts to come alive with the positive feeling of summer. It's a nice time of year, as the Island isn't too busy, and locals are chatting away in the local bars about how this year will pan out. Pictures below of our sleepy cat in the sun, and one from tonight, with two beautiful Turkish gulets docked in for the night, and well into feeding those on board.

Bye Bye Barbie

Sad news to hear that 'Barbie' a well known dog here has died. She'd been quite ill over the last few months, and you could tell from her tired eyes that it was taking it's toll on her. Often wondering around the harbour and village, she would always stop to say hello to a friendly voice. Bye bye to an old friend. She will be missed by many.

Symi Full Moon - March 2009

Last night we were treated to a full moon that slowly appeared over the mountain and shone down to the harbour. It really is a beautiful sight when Yialos lights up again after the sun has set. It's almost like someone has but a spotlight up in the sky! We've had some cloud today, but the milder weather seems to have set in now.

Symi Spring

There's a real feeling of Spring now in Symi. After the last few days and weeks being quite chilly, and lots of rain, the temperature has warmed up a little. Lots on Symi are getting over their colds, and people are starting to finally venture out.
