Posted: 08 Feb 2020, 10:59Silly me. There I was thinking the programme was going to be about Rhodes and Symi but no it was just showing a presenter can bake a cake and do a bit of diving, big let down.

Re: Sými To Be Featured
Posted: 08 Feb 2020, 12:47I totally agree but sadly I was prepared for this as the programme about Skopolos last week was also very disappointing and showed hardly any of the beautiful island. Julia Bradbury could have filmed her diving exploits anywhere, what a waste of a chance to show the world the wonderful Symi

Perhaps because I had been looking forward to it for so long, but I was hoping for more than that! She said all the right things like "have you ever seen anywhere so beautiful" but she did so while looking at the view behind the camera that we couldn't see! And the hillside behind her that we could see while she was saying her bit to camera was very out of focus. Understandably, the camera was focussed on her but really... The island doesn't need her flattering description if we could only see it.
Disappointing, but hopefully it will do something to help boost tourist numbers.

Posted: 08 Feb 2020, 19:44It's not a conventional "holiday programme" so it was never going to show all the delights...in my opinion anyway.
If I'm not mistaken the Symi Shrimps were served by the owner at Haritomeni who very kindly took us back to our apartments in his own car one late night a few years back.
He refused to take the money offered for the lift!

Posted: 14 Feb 2020, 11:54Yes we saw the shots of Symi and hope it features more in the coming episodes. I wonder where the family on the boat will harbour for the winter.
