On the way to Lindos we passed by Anthony Quinn Bay, named after the Zorba the Greek actor as it was said to be his favourite. All I can say is that it must have been some undisclosed goings on there to make it a favourite as it was not a very prepossessing place. We didn't even stop.

Captain Nic from Symi waved us off around 8.30 for an easy trip to Rhodes. We had to add another hour so as to keep inside the Greek Waters line! You can't always just go the shortest route.

The weather has been freezing and we actually had snow on the Friday night before we left! We arrived in Kos (from where we left Greece last year) after a good trip to find that the customs dock is not ideally located on the seaw...
