June Postcards from Symi

Yialos at 7 in the morning and people are already on the move, hauling boats, mending nets and planning the day in the numerous waterfront kafeneions.

Gyros is still astonishingly good value for money.  As you can see, the menus are changing languages to match the changing demographic of the daytrippers from Rhodes.

Greek school children are burdened with a vast amount of homework and it is not unusual to see small children staggering along to school under massive backpacks and rucksacks.

One of the two massive anchors on the waterfront outside my office.

Flags flying on the bridge in Yialos.
