5Symi – Neoclassical Elegance by the Sea

Symi, part of the Dodecanese, is instantly recognizable for its colorful neoclassical houses rising above the harbor.

In high season, the island is busy with day-trippers, but off season it regains its calm charm. Explore the Monastery of Panormitis without crowds or take long walks through quiet villages. The island’s tranquil atmosphere in autumn or spring allows travelers to experience its elegance at a slower pace.
