As mentioned in the last blog entry we went to the customs dock in Marmaris to officially check out of Turkey. One thing I forgot to mention was that we wound up seeing lots of rabbits while there! We were quite surprised to see them as we have seen plenty of cats running around all over Turkey, not rabbits! We were told however, that the rabbits run crazy there and that they are glad that they do have cats to try to keep them in check! Once we left the dock and headed toward the bay entrance, we were able to put up at least one of our sails and it felt really good! Our plan was to check into Greece next on the island of Symi as we had heard it was quite an easy ... read more

Geo: 36.612, 27.8571 GÜN 16 GÜNLERDEN PERŞEMBE: Sabah güneş doğarken, teknede bir telaş … Turhan hocam, yola çıkmağa karar vermiş .Alelacele toparlandık ve salıncaklı Nisyros limanını geride bırakarak pruvayı Symi ye çevirdik.. İlk başta, boğazda, biraz rüzgar vardı ama boğaz bitince rüzgar indi . Kuru direkle gitmeğe karar verdik. Yolumuz 30 mil ama yapacak bir şeye yok… evimin açığından geçtim . Ayşeciğime telefon ettim Beni görmesi mümkün değil ama olsun geçerken bir selam etmek ister.. Symi adasının hemen kuzeyinde, Nimos diye bir ada var ve cesur tekneler bu günkü gibi hava müsaitse Nimos-Symi arasında, çok sığlaşan boğazı deneyebilirler .. Derinlik, bu boğazda, yaklaşık 4 metreye kadar düşüyor.. Ora... read more

Our last couple of days have been very lazy. We left Gennardi on the bus after a leisurely breakfast and farewells to our hosts, George and Barbara (both Greek). We even got hugs and kisses when we left. A couple of hours later we were back in Rhodes Town and finding our way to our overnight accommodation. Pretty much straight away we went back to the harbour so that we could book our ferry tickets to Symi and then on to Datça in Turkey. That completed, we had a bit more of a walk through the old part of Rhodes. We’d been into the old town a couple of time previously but even then we still found parts that we hadn’t seen previously. The next morning we had a relatively early start. We checked out of ... read more

I took the ferry to Symi this morning and arrived before lunch. I had made a reservation at Dorian Hotel on some obscure website and I had a feeling the hotel had no idea I was coming. I was right, but it didn't matter. Dorian Hotel is to the right of the harbour when you step off the boat, not far from the clock tower and just behind Hotel Aliki, which looked very nice but too expensive for me. But for 30 euros a night at Dorian Hotel, I got a lovely bathroom, small fully equipped kitchen and seating area, small balcony, and the bedroom was upstairs and was very spacious with lovely hardwood floors. I was in heaven! I had some tea and then decided to get some lunch and wander around the island. I ... read more
