Summary

This is the third of a short, five-episode special series of the podcast to celebrate Tsh's new book, At Home in the World. Closer to the Turkish mainland than the Greek one, this island in Greece is a welcome counterpart to the party life of Mykonos and has far fewer tourists than Santorini or Greece. And it's lovely. For show notes, head to http://thesimpleshow.com and look for episode 70.

0:56.2	much, guys. That's just amazing. So to continue my week of story time here on The Simple Show,

1:27.0	And both have similar cultures
1:29.7	involving tight-knit families, fascinating histories, and some of the best food on the planet.
1:36.0	To hear about my love of Turkish food, read Chapter 19 of At Home. They also both have a number of
1:41.8	islands dotting the Aegean Sea, with turquoise waters flowing in from the nearby Mediterranean Sea.
