Why go to Symi
With its unspoilt scenery and friendly inhabitants, holidays to Symi provide tourists with a traditional Greek island experience. The island of Symi is situated north of Rhodes and has a population of approximately 2,500.
Symi holidays are for those who seek a laid back island life and a place to unwind...
During the day, Symi can be quite busy with day-trippers from Rhodes. The islands are in close proximity to each other, and regular ferries provide good transport links. Once the day-trippers return to Rhodes, the evening is much quieter.
Symi town is at the heart of the island and divided into two areas, called Yialos and Chorio. Yialos Harbour is very picturesque and boasts an impressive hillside landscape of Venetian mansions. The harbour is where the ferries from Rhodes and other destinations moor.
