Symi Island left me with the most wonderful impressions. I reached it from Rhodes by high-speed boat, and along the way we were lucky enough to see playful dolphins dancing in the waves, which was an extraordinary bonus! Upon arrival, I was mesmerized by the sea’s extraordinary deep blue color. The houses lining the harbor are painted in bright, unique colors creating an unforgettable, postcard perfect atmosphere. The island’s architecture is stunning: from neoclassical mansions to narrow stair lanes up to Ano Symi, with charming churches and old fortress walls.
One of the highlights is the beautiful Monastery of Archangel Michael at Panormitis, still active and richly decorated, a place filled with spiritual and historical energy. Here, you can enjoy authentic Greek food, swim in the crystal-blue waters, and of course, purchase natural sea sponges, the island is famous for an incredible variety of them. Symi is a place that stays in your heart long after you leave. Fantastic experience!
