Early morning sunshine sparkling on Pedi Bay and lighting up the rows on the Turkish coast opposite. |

We have heard that Katerinettes is now open as an art gallery and exclusive club. |

An enthusiastic grapevine bursting from a courtyard on the Kali Strata. |

A distinctive landmark property on the waterfront in Yialos with splendid uninterrupted views of the amphitheatre harbour. |

Colourful facades in Yialos. |

Everyone is facing the harbour except for one little house resolutely facing the other way. I wonder what the story is behind this house.

June is drawing to a close and the Symi is getting busy as high season approaches. Houses and hotels are filling up but there are still a few last minute gaps if you are prepared to take what you can get.
Last minute bookings are something of a lottery as obviously one cannot by choosy about views and locations but in a place where
accommodation is generally of a high standard you are unlikely to be disappointed.
The asphalting of the road continues so the taxi service is not running but the bus driven by the indomitable Lakis and his son, Thanasi, is continuing regardless. Good news regarding buses is that the summer schedule includes a 3 o'clock bus and the last bus from Pedi during the peak weeks will leave from 12.30 at night so visitors can beat the heat and bustle of the harbour and have dinner in the relative peace and quiet of the Pedi waterfront and still get home again.
Have a good week.
