Tuesday before Turkey

You will be pleased to know that I have a plan. Below is a chart of the area south of Turkey where surprisingly the islands are all Greek. Those little red house symbols indicate places we hope to visit but the order relies a bit on wind and weather.

The islands form a group known as the Dodecanese and lie in a crescent chain curving up from Crete. Actually the Turks were there since the 16th century until it fell to the Italians in 1912. It was then only after the 2nd World War that they were finally awarded to Greece.

Hard to imagine, because it looks like they have been there a longer time than that…..
