A White Cat of Symi

I noticed that someone was searching on this blog for a white cat of Symi.  Well, here is one, enjoying the spring sunshine in Chorio.  Another famous white cat on Symi can be found on the Symi Dream website.

A Symi sheep balances on the edge of a cliff, in search of a succulent morsel.

Not for them the lush pastures of New Zealand.  Symi sheep work hard for their food.

Spot the pigeon.

That is Pedi Bay in the background.

A busy 5 minutes in Yialos this morning.  Yes, that is the Poseidon heading off for a round the island trip.

It is a busy weekend in Greece with the elections for the government taking place on Sunday.  Here on Symi  the lists are up for the candidates and the schools are closed as they are being used as polling stations.  As Greeks have to travel back to the place where they are born and registered to vote there will be a lot of movement around the country over the next few days.

The cheerful bunting fluttering in the harbour is because Symi will be celebrating VE Day on 8 May.  The surrender of the Dodecanese was signed here, at the building that is now the Katerinettes Hotel and restaurant, and every year the event is commemorated with a parade.

As you can see from the above photograph, the Blue Star ferry is coming through Symi on Fridays as well as Wednesdays this week - and the round the island excursions have started.

Have a good weekend.
