KOS
On 16 September 1986 "Kyrenia II" entered Kephalos harbour in Kos. After welcoming "Kyrenia" in a speech, the mayor of Kephalos addressed the ship as follows:
"Farewell, "Kyrenia". May the seas you will cross be light and calm, so that you can carry our messages and your own. You won't sail into your own port, Kyrenia. Your earth is trampled upon by the invader. You will go further down, to a port that is free, in free Cyprus. Please convey our love, our support and solidarity in the just struggle of our brothers. Have a good trip, "Kyrenia", on these seas, where every isle, every ripple and every seabird has been speaking our melodious language, from Homer to the Kephalonian shepherd of the present day."
