Symi island belongs to the Dodecanese islands complex and lies 41km northwest of Rhodes. It has beautiful surroundings, nice taverns and wonderful waters to swim.
Symi is known for its beautiful little port and the unique architecture of the houses. The residents of Symi live mainly from tourism, although there are still fishermen and some farmers.
Its main town is divided in two parts: the harbor side one, called Gialós, and the adjacent one on the slopes of the hills, called Chorió
There is also a big monastery complex, Panormitis, where around 30 people live and take care of the monastery.
