Mission to Meis



Two days ago, the opportunity arose to get to Meis, Greece for the day. It was a trip that would be necessary at least once during my stay here in Turkey, so when Janek had to go to avoid paying an even bigger over-staying fee, I made the most of the chance.


Meis is a little island about half an hour by boat from Kas, on the south coast of Turkey. Surrounded by the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean, it is a beautiful and tranquil place to spend a few hours, while officials on the mainland renew visas.



It is quite strange to have the Greek culture just a stones throw away. There is quite a noticeable change on arrival: The architecture, the language and the alphabet to go with it, plus a negative attitude towards 'Grossing the harbor', whatever that means.
