Symi Greece to Rhodes

 I am so behind on this blog now that its hard to think back to Symi in Greece. Unfortunately the photo of the beautiful harbour has not loaded so maybe I can include it next time. These top two photos are taken at the Panormitis Monastery on the south western tip of the island. Again there are other photos which did not upload but the Monastery itself is a beautiful Venetian style building and the flooring in the out door courtyard was an amazing black and white mosaic from small stones in a wave pattern which made it look 3D.


 A cave in the folklore museum showing vessels which were used for holding olives and olive oil.

 Entrance to the 14 century Grand Masters Palace which is enclosed by a wall around the medieval town on the island of Rhodes.



 Steps up to the upper level of the castle.


 Inside the town the old mixes with the new.


 Outdoor seafood family restaurant where we enjoyed a beautiful meal with friends.



 The same restaurant just after sunset.


 As we walked home the moon appeared just under the street decoration lighting.


Another restaurant building looking splendid at dusk.
