More Information

Symi's southwestern portion is hilly and green. Located here is the medieval Panormitis Monastery, dedicated to St. Michael, the patron saint of seafaring Greeks. The monastery is popular with Greeks as a place of pilgrimage and of refuge from modern life; young Athenian businessmen speak lovingly of the monk cells and small apartments that can be rented for rest and renewal. The least expensive units have shared outdoor toilets. Most sleep at least 4 people. The whitewashed compound has a verdant, shaded setting and a 16th-century gem of a church inside. The town of Panormitis Mikhailis is most lively and interesting during its annual festival on November 8, but can be explored year-round via local boats or bus tours from Yialos. The hardy can hike here -- it's 10km (6 miles), about 3 hours from town.

Close to Yialos are two beaches: Nos, a 15m (50-ft.) -long rocky stretch, and Nimborios, a pebble beach. A bus to Pedi followed by a short walk takes you to either St. Nikolaos beach, with shady trees and a good taverna, or St. Marina, a small beach with little shade but stunning turquoise waters and views of the islet St. Marina and its cute church. Beach Equipment: Rentals Nearby and Sailboat.
Nearby Attractions: One local craft still practiced on Symi is shipbuilding. If you walk along the water toward Nos beach, you'll probably see boats under construction or repair. It's a treat to watch the men fashion planed boards into a graceful boat. Symi was a boat-building center in the days of the Peloponnesian War, when spirited sea battles were waged off its shores. Sponge fishing is almost a dead industry in Greece. Only a generation ago, 2,000 divers worked waters around the island; today only a handful undertake this dangerous work, and most do so in the waters around Italy and Africa. Working at depths of 50m to 60m (164 ft.-197 ft.) (in the old days often without any apparatus), many divers were crippled or killed by the turbulent sea and too-rapid depressurization. The few sponges that are still harvested around Symi -- and many more imported from Asia or Florida -- are sold at shops along the port. Even if they're not from Symi's waters, they make inexpensive and lightweight gifts. source:frommer's guide The Monastery of the Archangel Michael Panormitis is a Greek Orthodox monastery built on the southwest coast in the early 18th century. It overlooks a bay, and is still inhabited by monks. * The "Knight's Castle" overlooks the main town of Symi. It was built by the Knights of St. John as an expansion of a Byzantine castle on the same site, many parts of which are still visible. There are also remnants of an ancient citadel on which the two later castles were built. * There are 2 monuments at the main port that date back to the Classical era. * The town of Symi alone has 13 major churches and dozens of chapels, some dating back to the Byzantine era. * The northern port of Emborios (also called Nimborio) has surviving ancient Pelasgian walls and a set of 12 domes remaining from workshops used by artists.
