Sun and Symi boats
As you can see, it was a bright and sunny day on Monday when the photo below was taken. I was on my way to the shop for essentials and snapped this outside The Olive Tree. The road from there to the Village Hotel is now repaved completely and is functional, there’s a new Ote box by Georgio’s and one further up the lane near the old pharmacy building, and elsewhere, improvements and preparations for summer are on-going.
It’s Tuesday as I write, and the sun is out again. It’s almost warming up too and very pleasant when in the sun. The first of our summer regulars that I know of is returning to Symi on Sunday/Monday, and others soon after. There are quite a few folks who come and stay for a whole season, six months, or who come and go but have a semi-permanent rental here and find it cheaper than renting a new place each time.
On the subject of travel, I saw somewhere the other day that the Dodecanese Seaways website has updated its schedule through until later in the year, though I haven’t looked myself. It might be an idea to check it out, and details will be on Andy’s travel blog (link over there to the right >>). When coming to Symi independently, as in, arranging your own flights etc., always check the boats before you commit to a flight in case you end up missing the connection and spending a night or two on Rhodes. Nothing wrong with that, but if you’ve only got a week or ten days, you might not want to miss a Symi night because of non-connecting flights and boats.
