Enjoying the Symi Summer Sunshine

It is a hot and busy day on Symi. The Pentecost long weekend means a mass exodus from Athens as thousands of Greeks head for the islands and Symi, like many other Aegean islands, is buzzing.

Symi Visitor Accommodation is also busy in its own right in that we have a group of sixty Americans and South Africans here for a wedding which will be taking place on the little island at Agia Marina this afternoon. Wendy is out there, supervising the arrangements at the moment. Yesterday the same group celebrated a milestone birthday party at the beach at Agia Marina. Meanwhile our usual Danish friends are at the Hotel Fiona and lots of Symi’s regular June visitors are happily enjoying the summer sunshine.

Football madness has also taken over and even the day trippers on the ferries are waving flags and singing football songs. There is a troupe doing just that on the gangplank of the Symi below our office window!

The world’s largest ‘yacht’, The World, is expected to visit Symi in the course of the weekend. She is steaming out of Marmaris right now according to the http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/default.aspx

Monday is a bank holiday in Greece but the Symi Visitor office will open as usual as are most tourist based businesses.

Have a good weekend.
