Syros, Greece

This is the view of Syros, Greece as the ferry came into the bay. The main town is relatively small and I was only there for about eight hours or so, in between ferries to Naxos.

Syros' main square. I ended up having lunch at a charming little place run by an Australian woman who'd moved to Greece twenty years before (to marry her Greek sweetheart). She was absolutely kind to me--no discounts on the food, but let me leave my extra bag in her restaurant while I went sightseeing. And then, when I came back at dusk and still had about three hours before my ferry was due, she let me hang out at a table without asking me to order anything. And she gave me a small bit of food to tide me over when the ferry finally did come.
