Description:
Take a boat trip from Rhodes to the stunningly formed harbor of Symi, one of the most picturesque islands in Greece. Explore an idyllic Venetian-style village before heading to the monastery at Panormitis to enjoy the Byzantine artifacts and exhibits of local culture.
Your arrival at Symi offers quite a sight: neoclassical white and yellow houses lining an arced bay in tiers against a mountainous backdrop. Dock in the harbor and explore the narrow streets as you browse local handicrafts and learn about the island's heritage as well as the sponge industry. In the 19th century, the island was 10 times more populous and also enjoyed a rich tradition in shipbuilding.
Journey to Panormitis, the location of a famous Greek monastery, and admire the impressive frescoes and historical relics. This striking building, with its prominent, 12th-century bell tower, sits notably on the promenade. Later, take a dip in the clear seawater for a refreshing way to complete your time on Symi before heading back to Rhodes.
