Symi Travel
Yesterday I opened my study shutters for the first time in weeks just to have a look at the outside world. It was just before dawn, the birds were singing, and the sea was calm. It wasn’t too cold either, and the overnight rain had cleared a little. It was good to get some fresh air in the study if only for a couple of minutes while I snapped two photos. (Must repaint the window frame.) Good to see the fig tree is behaving (or dead) and should no longer pose a threat to our knackered sterna when it gets fixed later this year.
The Blue Star came in on Monday on its way back from Rhodes. I heard it from the sitting room, and also the Spanos catamaran (Dodecanese Express or Pride, not sure which without looking it up). It’s called ‘Spanos’ locally because I believe, the owners also own Spanos supermarkets. If that’s the case, it’s a good job they don’t own a chain of sex shops or something, but the point is, the boats are currently running to schedule. Talking of which… Don’t forget Andy’s Symi Travel Blog if you are planning this year’s trip to Symi. Some of the timetables won’t be released until nearer the summer, but, as Andy’s latest blog post says, “We already have Blue Star’s timetable for the whole year up to the end of October. Yesterday Dodekanisos Seaways released their first batch of ferry timetables for the period after 31 March. These cover days up to 21 April 2019.”
The travel blog is linked over there in the right-hand column of this site >> along with a link to Symi Animal Welfare and the Symi Chat page. If you are coming to Symi for the first time, all three are invaluable resources for questions and information.
