My parents were young children at the time of WW2 on Symi but I have been told many stories about what they witnessed. Many families fled their homes and stayed at the various churches/monasteries around the island. My father contracted typhoid after they reached the church of Ayio Nikita where he was lucky that the 2 doctors of the island were.
Interesting to sit and talk with the older esidents on the island.
