Hi Frances,
Samos is a gorgeous, somewhat untouched Greek island. It does
not have the
feel of the Cyclades, but is more like Turkey (with red tile
roofs, and
such) -- It is in the chain of islands called the Dodecanse
-- all of which
lie along the Turkish Coast and all of which are not as assaulted
by
tourists as are the Cyclades or the Ionian islands. If you
want, I can get
my notes and give you details -- We had spectacular corniche
hiking to
remote beaches walking through ancient olive groves to get
to glorious
turquoise to indigo to purple waters... and we loved it there.
The ancient
ruins of Kusadasi lie 3 miles from the main town of
Pythagorio with
daily crossings in season to view them. Should you go, I would
recommend
going to Patmos on the same trip -- and viewing the Monastery/Church
of St
John the Divine -- They are quite close together and each has
its own flavor
(as they all do!)
(I will read your article tomorrow. Thanks, Frances)
Regards,
Susie
