Turkey for dinner

We left Kastellorizo by ferry at five and arrived in Turkey less than half an hour later. It was vibrant and full of people. I did some shopping then joined friends for a drink on the square. We then had delicious mezethes in a restaurant at the top of the hill. This us a picture of the harbour lights as we departed.

Company

On my evening walk I was closely watched by this goat.

The patient has improved

Andy was able to walk very solidly to Cominos restaurant where we enjoyed dolmathakia and melanzamnes.

The little truck on Kastellorizo

For as long as I have been coming to Kastellorizo this little truck has been standing, derelict and forgotten on the side of the road. Weeds are beginning to take over

Kastellorizo morning walk

Arrived on Kastellorizo yesterday afternoon and the house looked great.
I got up with trepidation this morning - would I be able to climb the mountain. But all was well. It was cool, the sun came up over Turkey, and I enjoyed the rhythm of the walk. This is a view over the Paliocastro - the old castle, with the mountains of Turkey in the background.

Figs

As I walked back into the settlement I was engulfed in the familiar scent if fig trees.
