Symi Clean Up Day 20 May 2007


One of the fourteen teams that tackled Symi's litter problem on Sunday afternoon.

The final bag count will be announced later - the municipality is still ferrying them away! My own team filled over 30 bags on the stretch of road between Agia Marina cemetery and Kampos supermarket. That's an awful lot of empty water bottles, cans and chocolate wrappings cluttering the verges and stuffed in the bushes.

About this Blog

I sailed into Panormitis Bay, Symi, by chance one windy July day in 1993 and have been here ever since. The locals tell me that this is one of the miracles of St Michael of Panormitis. A BA graduate with majors in English, Philosophy and Classical Civilisation, the idea of living in what is to all intents and purposes an archaeological site appeals to me. Not as small as Kastellorizo, not as touristy as Rhodes, Symi is just the right size. I live on a small holding which my husband and I have reclaimed from a ruin of over-grazing and neglect and turned into a small oasis over the course of the past 22 years. I also work part-time for Symi Visitor Accommodation, helping independent travellers discover and enjoy Symi's simple pleasures for themselves.
