Symi has long been recommended to visit and rumoured to be very pretty so the overall objective of the mini cruise had been to get to there this year.
We had not visited Symi before in part because it is usually inherently busy with charter boats but also difficulties in securing a berth, especially in Symi town, allegedly rife with mooring rip off merchants.
One of the “Benefits” of C19 and the heightened tension between Turkey & Greece is that it would be less busy this year.
The last leg then from Kos would be back via Pserimos down to Nisiros, Tilos and then across to Symi.
Leaving Mandraki Harbour Kos on Sunday morning 09:00
We are heading to Pserimos again, where we stayed before, for a further three nights in that beautiful anchorage, before we double back past Kos town and on to Nisiros.
It’s not common to be able to get pictures of your own boat under sail, but on the leg down to Nisiros from Pserimos – Nicolas managed to take some of these.
On passage south to Nisiros 27 miles, 25 knots , a good day !
We arrived in Palon Harbour, Nisiros at 16:00 where we stayed for a further 3 nights before moving on south to the island of Tilos.

Dinner on Syeni, Palon Harbour
Saturday 3rd October and we are at anchor on the north of Tilos having headed south 12 miles from Nisiros
Lovely clear blue water and fawns & peacocks on the beach.
October!
In Scotland we would probably have packed up in September and the boat would be out the water by now.
Ormos Playio anchorage , Tilos
I see from the log the swell was a bit uncomfortable overnight but a lovely anchorage none the less.
Now heading for Symi, finally.
Nice to see Camira in full sail. Can’t believe how blonde you are Louise in the swimmy pics.
