9Symi: A Harbor Drenched in Pastel Perfection

Nestled in the Dodecanese, Symi is one of Greece’s most visually striking islands. Its main port, Gialos, is a dazzling amphitheater of neoclassical mansions painted in shades of ochre, pink, blue, and terracotta.
The island’s Venetian-inspired facades contrast beautifully against the deep turquoise waters, creating a kaleidoscope of color. Beyond the harbor, Symi offers lush pine forests, hidden monasteries, and secluded beaches with emerald waters.
