This is the final email about Nisyros. We’re really enjoying Ios too. I was told today Ios stands for Irish Over Seas as there are lots of Irish here and lots of Irish pubs in town. I took myself for a walk uo up up to Chora and had a lovely time. But first I have to write about our ferry trip and overnight stay on Santorini.

The harbor at Pali on Nisyros was friendly and cozy and delightful. We liked it a lot.

You have to drop your anchor and then back up, throw lines to folks on the shore to tie them off and then adjust it all. Not sure what we would do if there weren’t folks to help. Sometimes there are “lazy lines” attached to mooring balls that you use rather than drop your anchor. All goes much more smoothly when the winds are calm. |

We spent all of our meal times at Aphrodite because they were recommended by friends Sue and Ed Kelly on Angel Louise and because they were nice people with good food. (Although my friend Martha;s Greek fish soup is better.) |

Night time was lively but quite and great for sleeping as it was really quite cool. With now Marmaris booming noise we could leave portholes open for the cool night air. |
