An Uplifting Experience

The summer fire season has started in Greece as unseasonably high temperatures and low humidity combined with strong winds to create ideal conditions for combustion. On Sunday gale force winds swept across the country, fanning several wildfires in Crete and other parts of Greece. There is one unhappy teenager who has just been charged with starting a brush fire with a firecracker which at one point threatened the Mount Parnitha National Park, an area that has been devastated by fire in the past. Here on Symi the local firefighters are on standby as is usually the case during the summer.

With many of Symi’s regular visitors currently on the island our office has been busy and it is good to see so many friendly faces returning year after year. It is not difficult to guess what they come back for. These photographs were taken from a new listing, Villa Iris, on Mavrovouni yesterday afternoon and show Symi’s amphitheatre harbour in all its architectural glory.  With views like this from the accommodation who could fail to find a visit to Symi an uplifting experience?

Have a good week.
