We left Crete on Tuesday from its northeastern most port of Sitia. We'd had a spectacular bus trip there the day before and had a few hours to explore the town after our late afternoon arrival. We sailed Anek lines on the Priveli, a ship te size of cruise ships and complete with bars, restaurants, lounges and sun decks. We opted for the sun deck. As you can tell, we opted for the sun deck where we spent much of the nine hours it took to travel from Sitia to Rhodes, or Rodos as it is known here.
Here Joel shows why we like ferry travel so much more than airplanes these days.
We arrived in Rhodes after seeing some beautiful islands and ports along the way that now are added to our 'next time' list including this one on the island of Karpathos:
.
We changed to a smaller ferry in Rhodes and at 9 p.m., 12 hours after we had left Sitia, we arrived in our new destination the island of Symi, More on it tomorrow. . .we are back to using internet cafes so will tease you with the photo of the harbor we entered to get to our new spot:
who knew 12 hours of travel looked so awesome. Can you drink wine on the ferries?
