Tuesday 12th June 2007Finally we have been able to leave Marmaris!
Some brisk sailing with winds up to 24 knots and a bit of motoring brought us to Simi. We spent three nights in all in Greece on Simi Island – one in the actual harbour (to provide an opportunity to add to Pixi’s wine stock) and two at anchor in a bay called Pethi around the corner. The harbour in Simi causes lots of people great stress, because anchors and chains get tangled up and then when they want to leave they have to sort it out! Fortunately we were OK, but we did observe some entertaining untangling.
Simi harbour is most attractive. The colourful Italian style villas rise up in tiers on the steep sides of the harbour and seem rooted in the rock like plants in a rockery. Pethi bay is a quiet contrast, with few people and some very simple tavernas on the beach
