Symi, a small island in the Dodecanese, is a hidden gem that captivates visitors with its vibrant neoclassical architecture and serene atmosphere. Unlike other Greek islands known for their whitewashed buildings, Symi’s harbor is lined with pastel-colored mansions cascading down the hillside.
The island offers a peaceful escape with secluded beaches, crystal-clear waters, and charming tavernas serving fresh seafood. One of the island’s highlights is the Panormitis Monastery, an important religious site dedicated to the Archangel Michael. Symi’s colorful charm and authentic Greek island feel make it an extraordinary place that feels like a step back in time.
