I have never been to Samos, close to Turkey. It's very different, a big island, a big town. And green, not the forbidding grey of Mykinos and the western islands.
This is a working town with markets selling to islanders, children and fewer restaurants. Still with trinkets but one gets the impression that the tourists are there as an addition, not the cause, of the place.
Life is expensive here. We spent a lot of time in the markets and this is a difficult period for these people. And I expect it will only get worse.
A lot of travel offers here to Greece and Turkey.
We had a wonderful dinner in the specialty Italian restaurant.
Tonight we leave for the Black Sea.
