In case you missed it: For the next two weeks you are going to find guest blog posts (and some pre-written posts about my books in order to try and tempt you to buy them for people’s Christmas gifts, wink) which I am setting up before I go away. It’s actually still early November as I write this so things may have changed by now but I am going to put up the first guest post today and schedule it for two weeks’ time and cross my fingers. Here we go.
Today’s guest post is from Andy Hornby, who also supplied the photos, and he lists his favourite Symi things:
Hi James.
Thanks very much for doing Symi Dream. It’s a place very close to our hearts and one of the most beautiful places in the world and you keep it alive for us…Favourite bits?
A trip round the island, superb swimming and a hearty lunch on the Poseidon!
The walk from Yialos over the top to Nimborio. I ever I feel heavy hearted, the memory of that walk is a sure remedy!
The bus journey to Panormitis. Stunning views and excellent spanacopita from the bakery there.
A day on St Nicolas beach. The best moussaka for lunch, snorkelling (look out for the rainbow wrasses) and walking back to Pedi along the coast path.
Music at Giorgio’s on a Friday night.
Watching the world go by from café Mediterraneo.
Reflections in the water. The light in Symi is really special
Pics.
- Swallowtail on Lantana up the Kali Strata. Two of my favourite things in a favourite place!
- No health and safety on the taxi boat back to Pedi.
- Very useful goat rack on the walk to Nimborio.
- Watery reflections at Nimborio.
We hope to come back asap.
Bye for now
Regards
Andy
