The beautiful island of Symi
LOCATION: On the edge of Greece in the Dodecanese, very close to the advertised and fancy Rhodes, there is a small island that manages to combine tradition with a cosmopolitan air. There are only 3,500 people who live there. Symi is a relatively small, rocky island, the eighth largest island in the Dodecanese.
Surroundings: The beaches of Symi are very clear with clear waters and accessible all by boat, as it is difficult or impossible to reach them by land. Special mention should be made of the beach of Agia Marina with the amazing turquoise waters which have both the picturesque and very old homonymous church built on a very small island. A special feature in Symi architecture are both the round details on the facades of several houses. In the village there are several churches that have historical relics that are worth seeing up close.
The Town: The City is divided into two settlements in Yialos which is amphitheatrically built houses in the village which is built on the slope of Mount Lookout.

Hi Panormitis! Symi is a small but special island. It’s far, but I think that if you manage to go there it must be fantastic. Thank you for writing about it in your post. Excellent organisation of paragraphs. I have helped with some photos, too 🙂
