A few words about Symi
Symi is the eighth largest Greek island of the Dodecanese. It is located about 12 miles NW of Rhodes, in front of the homonymous gulf of Asia Minor, or the gulf of Sympeki as the Turks call it, with a total area of 57,865 sq.km .. It is 255 miles from Piraeus, about 27 miles east of Nisyros and 3.7 miles from the nearest coast of Turkey.
Its natural port is Gialos (from Aegialos), around which the city is built amphitheatrically. Its main town, located on the northeast coast, is also named Symi and consists of the lower town around the harbour, typically referred to as Yialos, and the upper town is called Horio or Ano Symi. Other inhabited localities are Pedi, Nimborio, Marathounda and Panormitis. Panormitis is the location of the island’s famous monastery which is visited by people from all over the world, and many Greeks pay homage to St Michael of Panormitis each year. The island has 2,580 inhabitants, mostly engaged in tourism, fishing, and trade.
In the tourist season which lasts from Easter until Panormitis Day in early November, tourists and day-trippers increase the number of people on the island to as much as 6000. In addition to its many historical sites, the island’s isolated beaches, many reachable only with small boats, are popular with tourists. The Municipality of Sými includes the uninhabited offshore islets of Gialesíno, Diavátes, Kouloúndros, Marmarás, Nímos, Sesklío, and Chondrós. Its total land area is 65.754 square kilometres.
The whole island of Symi was declared an archeological site. The whole of Symi and the islands around it have been declared archeological sites by the Central Archaeological Council, as they include 159 sites – sites and monuments – that record the history of the area from prehistoric times to recent years.
