6Symi

Symi, located near the Turkish coast in the Dodecanese group of islands, is a delightful island renowned for its neoclassical architecture and pastel-colored buildings. The main port, Gialos, is a charming mix of narrow alleys, elegant mansions, and quaint shops. As you stroll through the town, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a bygone era.

A visit to the village of Ano Symi, perched on the hill above Gialos, offers captivating views and a serene escape from the crowds. Symi is also famous for its monasteries and churches, including the Panormitis Monastery, which is a significant religious site on the island.
