Carry on up the Kali Strata
Contents:
It is a combination of things: But for us, it is also the fact that the island somehow inspires creativity. It is a great place for photography and James has written several books since living here. James is now working on a slightly controversial film script Shocking The Donkeys about a gay wedding in Greece, and some of the people and places in it are inspired by Simi. The production company who will produce the film hope that it will be filmed on Simi too, which would be great for local tourism. Then, the world can see what is so special about the island", confessed Neil, who opened a photo shop in Horio, the capital of Simi.
They call the photo shop SymiDream. James, how difficult was the decision to move permanently on the island?

It wasn't a difficult decision at all, though the timing was strange. Neil's photography was taking off and doing well in England, and I was running a theatre company and writing musicals. But we didn't want to wake up one morning and think "I wish I'd done that We both wanted to try it and so we worked hard for a year to save up enough money to last a winter on the island in case there was no work in the winter, and there wasn't , then bought one way tickets to Athens and came down by boat. Once we had decided that we could make the move, we wanted to do nothing else.
When was your first time in Simi?
I first came to Simi in for a two week holiday. It was here I started writing my first novel, while on that holiday. I met Neil in and came to Simi together for a holiday in We then visited again three times before moving here in So, you live in Simi for 8 years so far Neil, what were the problems you faced at the beginning? Issues with Greek bureaucracy, the locals, the work? As long as you ride along with things and keep a positive attitude, then you shouldn't suffer from problems here.

There were times when we had to get paperwork organized at the police station, for example, for "green immigration cards", so we could work; someone said they were needed, someone else said they were not and so on. But otherwise, no great problems. Setting up the Symi Dream shop was easy. We found a good accountant who did everything for us very quickly and we've not had any problems with bureaucracy since.
We now work closely with the police to produce ID card photos and so on.
Learning the language is an on-going challenge as many people on Simi speak Simiaka a local dialect , which is not exactly the same Greek as you learn from the text books! Reviewed July 24, Lord G London, United Kingdom. Ask Lord G about Windmills of Symi.
