bobpike Posted 28 January , 2006 Share Posted 28 January , 2006 Does anyone know if it's possible to get from Lemnos to Skyros and if so how long does it take, is it possible the same day? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eceabat Posted 29 January , 2006 Share Posted 29 January , 2006 Hi Bob, while I haven't got a direct answer to your question, try the web site www.greekferries.gr or www.greekislands.gr These may have clues to what you seek. Cheers Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobpike Posted 29 January , 2006 Author Share Posted 29 January , 2006 Bill, Thank you, I'll certainly give them a try. Looking at the atlas, though, I think the distance will preclude a day-trip, Regards, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested to learn what you find out about accessibility. regards Jayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobpike Posted 31 January , 2006 Author Share Posted 31 January , 2006 Jayne, It's looking more and more impratical, as a 'day-trip.' My aim is to spend the week in Thessaloniki, but going to Lemnos for Tuesday to Wednesday to visit their cemeteries. The idea was, if Skros was close by we could grab a short vist, but that looks not on. I have a photo of Brooke's grave though if you'd like a copy?

jayne w Posted 1 February , 2006 Share Posted 1 February , 2006 Bob, That would be great thanks. I notice you mention Patrick Shaw Stewart - may I ask how you got interested in him? So many of Brookes comrades went on to galliploi and fell. I think Dennis Brownes account of Brookes burial very evocative and he was to die so shortly after too. If you take photos of lemnos I'd be interested. Thanks for your kind offer anyway. I'll be off line for a few weeks so dont think me rude if I dont reply to you for a while. Will be back on as soon as poss!! Many thanks Jayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobpike Posted 2 February , 2006 Author Share Posted 2 February , 2006 Jayne, Dug out my slide of Brooke's grave, it's poor and won't scan - sorry. Shaw-Stewart is a fascinating character and this snippet of his poem captures the romantic associations of Gallipoli and the Ancient World. I have been interested in the participants of the 'fading vision' ever since my first visit. Yes, I'll send you a selection of Lemnos vistas, but you'll have to remind me.please, on my return in June - PM me, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
