Winter

 Most days the sun shines.  Lucky for us. Our hot water is heated by solar panels.  In the summer the water is boiling. In winter there are very few days when it's not hot/warm enough for a shower. 

Empty beaches

Sometimes it rains

But mostly the sun will shine

Winter sun.  Sun 'With teeth' they say here

There are a few winter swimmers but they don't sit around to sunbathe afterwards

One water taxi waiting to cross the strait 

A virtually empty yacht harbour

Blue skies and blue sea

The car ferry coming in from the mainland village of Galatas

No lines of vans and trucks

A few motorbikes and cars and foot passengers like me
