4Symi – Elegant and Perfectly Compact

Just a short ferry ride from Rhodes, Symi feels like a world away. Famous for its neoclassical harbor lined with pastel-colored mansions, Symi is one of the most visually striking islands in Greece. Its compact size makes it ideal for short stays, which is perfect for island-hopping itineraries.

The main port, Gialos, offers charming cafés and waterfront tavernas, while climbs to upper Symi reveal sweeping views and a peaceful atmosphere. Symi’s beaches are mostly accessible by boat, encouraging slow exploration and relaxed days on the water. It’s an ideal stop for travelers who value beauty, calm, and architectural charm.
