Symi
The Pearl of the Aegean - that's how the 65 km² island on the far edge of the southeastern Aegean Sea likes to be called. Rhodes is one hour away by boat. Symi is mainly a destination for day tourists from Rhodes. For them, a visit to Panormitis Monastery as well as the listed harbor is a must. The monastery offers a wide panoramic view and as a former place of pilgrimage it is a historical sight. The fishing village Pedi as well as one or the other trip with excursion boats to island places, which you cannot reach otherwise, also belong on your Symi agenda. Keyword: the bays of Nanou and Disalona.
