| The Poseidon excursion boat sets off on another round the island trip. |

| Reminding climbers not to lose heart - the herb and coffee shop higher up the Kali Strata steps has resorted to advertising at the bend on the Kali Strata. Other rewards for perseverance include cafes, bars, boutiques, supermakets, tavernas, a butchery, two bakers - it is not immediately obvious to newcomers approaching from below but Chorio is actually the old town, the main area of habitation, and there is a whole town up there! |

I have lived on Symi for 20 years, and have been blogging Symi since March 2001 so I have seen many changes - but I have also seen all the things that haven't changed. The hospitality and friendliness of the people. The beauty of the scenery. The charming architecture. The elements of the unexpected. I have walked the same route to work for 15 years and yet there is always something new to notice, some detail that catches the eye. We stopped here by chance in 1993 and the island felt just right. Not too big, not too small. A perfect fit. A bit like when you go shopping for shoes and say to the assistant, these are so comfortable I think I'll keep them on.'' So we stayed and made our home here. I look forward to sharing Symi's delights with you for many years to come.
Have a good weekend.
Regards,
Adriana
