My Second Time on Syros
I arrived on Syros at nine last night and immediately got a room in the Hotel Hermes. It’s a comfortable hotel with clean modern rooms on the port. I then had supper and slept well. At only 52 euros a night, it is to be recommended.
Hotel Hermes, Syros
Syros seems different and I can’t remember much of the town from when C and I came with the boys in about 1981 or so. We had driven all the way from England in a borrowed car. We stayed in a villa on the beach, run by an eccentric Englishwoman called Lisanne Bates, It was near to a taverna run by a man called Yanni. I doubt I’ll be able to find it though.

I do hope you find the tavern…and I want you to sit in the sun…and raise a coffee cup/glass of what ever…to absent friends…and days gone by….

Unfortunately, my late wife filed all the photos and in those pre-digital ways, her method was stick the photos in an album and throw away the negatives.
I can’t even find the album.
