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.
How lovely to see such a wonderfull photo of Pat & Ali, having not been to Symi for three years after visiting every year since 1988, we hope to venture back for a 'holiday' next year from our extended break at our house in Cyprus.
Best wishes to all
Mike & Anne

If Pat and Ali are anywhere down our way (Sydney) they need to get over for a good long chat and a few cold ones
