Some Symi Snapshots

On Thursday morning a black cloud wrapped itself around the Vigla and deposited a quantity of water on Yialos. There was hardly a drop up in Chorio.

Rain patterns on the water.

A few hours later the Salamis Filoxenia arrived in sparkling sunshine.

Friday morning from the Symi Visitor Accommodation balcony.

The water taxis and beach tavernas are starting to pack up now.  The main activity in Yialos this morning was a few late season gulets.

Ready for lunch.

Too noisy for holiday lets, many of the apartments above shops are occupied by families working in the surrounding shops, tavernas, cafes and bars.

Changing stock to match the changing season

Symi has many charming and picturesque tavernas.  Few of them stay open right through the winter as there aren't enough customers anymore.  If the locals haven't made any money during the summer, they don't have any money to spend on treats in the winter, alas.
