Yacht Charters to Symi
When you get close to Symi's dock, you'll feel like you've stepped into a picture-perfect scene of a classic Greek hamlet. Spectators typically stand with mouths open and are unable to tear their gaze away from the breathtaking view. Traditional stone homes abound on the island, with varying stories and painted in a rainbow of colors (but indigo, ochre, and terracotta predominate), topped off with red tiled roofs and adorned with charming small balconies and railings that give the island its unique character.
Symi is a town in Greece that has been renowned for its stunning scenery and excellent architecture (every structure in Symi has been included to the National Register of Historic Places). When they open their books, they see a picture of Symi Harbor. They are aware that it is possible it was enhanced using picture editing software, and they probably had high hopes that it would look just like the actual thing. Even yet, when they finally raise their heads to take in the beautiful view, they are taken aback by how much more there is to Symi than what they had imagined.
Symi Town, sometimes known simply as “Symi,” is the island’s primary settlement and is comprised of two sections: Gialos, located near the port, and Chorio, perched above the surrounding hills (village).
Roloi, a clock tower, stands guard at the port’s entrance, which is formed like a horseshoe. Visitors to the island are greeted with a monument of a little fisherman named Michalaki (little Michael). The prominent sights on this side of Symi include the Town Hall, the Cathedral, the Square, and the Naval Museum. The latter provides context for the island’s naval history and features displays documenting the transformation of sponge fishing over time, among other things. The biggest church on the island, Agios Ioannis, has a stone bell tower and a beautiful pebble patio. You may shop till you drop or unwind at a traditional cafe in one of Symi’s three main squares (Kampos, Tarsanas, or Skala).
