There are countless Greek islands out there that are picture postcard pretty. But when it comes to the Greek island of Symi – well, it’s got to be right up there near the top of that list! Back in 2003, we were planning a summer holiday to the small island of Symi but postponed it …
We’ve lost count of the amount of times we’ve been to beautiful Rhodes Town; the largest town on the Greek island of its namesake, Rhodes. An easy day trip (or longer stay) by catamaran from Fethiye or Marmaris in southwest Turkey, the maze of narrow streets that make up the medieval city of the old …
One of our many visits to the Greek island of Rhodes took us up to the wonderfully picturesque hilltop village of Koskinou… For years, we’ve been making the short hop across to Rhodes from Fethiye by boat. In days gone by, it once served the purpose of renewing our tourist visa. We would alternate between …
Finally! How many years have we arrived by boat from Kaş to the Greek island of Meis (Kastellorizo) and gazed across to the vertical cliff face that frames the main harbour? Narrow walled steps winding steeply right up to the top before disappearing over the summit. How long have we been saying, “We must climb …

We mentioned in a previous post that we had a shock when we went to the Greek island of Rhodes a couple of weeks back. After Meis (Kastellorizo), Rhodes Old Town was so crowded with tourists and it took a while to get used to. As with most places however, there’s always a little oasis …
Whenever we go anywhere different, I always like to get a souvenir; a little memento of our trip. It doesn’t have to be anything big or expensive and in fact, most of the time, it’s just a postcard of the place. I stick these in a journal / scrapbook with a few notes reflecting my …
Arriving by ferry to the Dodecanese Greek island of Kastellorizo – or Meis, as it’s known in Turkey – just fills you with that complete happy satisfaction that not all in the world is racing along and over-developed. For the traveller craving tranquility, idylls are still very much in existence and Kastellorizo ticks all those …
We had to renew our visas yesterday and what a lovely pre-Christmas outing
it was too. A day trip to the Greek island of Meis (Kastellorizo) from Kaş
