Samos is a large Island that is very close to Turkey. It is so much more green that the barren Mykonos and Santorini.
Our room at Hotel Samos looked over the harbour. Anneli and I wandered along the harbour and the market street. The buildings were yellowy with green shutters and red tiled rooves - so Italian!
It was raining.
We met Miro at the bus stop before heading over the mountain to Pythagorio, the home of Pythagoras and home to Cleopatra and Anthony for 3 years.
We explored an early Christian Church and an earlier temple before taking shelter in a restaurant along a pretty harbour of fishing boats.
I hadn't realised that the rain was coming into the restaurant and my bags on thE floor were becoming a sponge. Everything was saturated, including my passport. Eek.
We raced for the bus back. My leg was killing me.
We said goodbye to Effie, our dear guide for a week, then caught a small ferry to Kusadasi in Turkey.
Here we are in the Marina Hotel. Today we are going to Ephesus
