Symi Chat

And make sure you get to St.Nicks by taxi boat or by foot from Pedi - the water there is beautiful and the taverna very welcoming.

Lunch at Nos Beach sharing your bread with the fish is a regular must for us and if Dimitri is "rebuilding" the beach you will be amused for hours !!

Look forward to seeing your posts after your visit and hear what you think of this most wonderful of places -enjoy Bob

I stick to my suggestion as well - two weeks on Symi is great but it is a small island and as Turkey is only a short boat trip away it is good and refreshing to do something else. It was Symi residents and a couple of businesses that told me about the Turkish bath and boy when i go back to Symi - that is for me. The market stretches forever and once you have been pummelled and scrubbed to the bone it is interesting to wander the market before returning to the evening delights of Symi.
Oh and if you go get Rocket for Jenine at The Olive Tree!!!

having been to Symi more times than I can remember I can honestly say that small island as it is there is more than enough to do than go Turkey - and yes I did go once with a friend who wanted to have a look, we couldn't wait to get back to Symi. Enjoy tour holiday Bob and I endorse the recomendations about the boat trip -a wonderful day out

Hi D and E. We had a walk round to Nos on Tuesday and it is looking lovely, the terraced area very nicely planted and some brave souls were even swimming!!

I endorse what Collette says Bob enjoy your trip - you asked for suggestions and i gave the trip to Turkey as a one day off Symi as we enjoyed it. It is after all different strokes for different folks. Sorry you had a bad day out Collette.

We are due to arrive on May 11th for 2 weeks. I have found this site and forum invaluable and very friendly. There's so much I have noted down to do and see, going by everyones suggestions and photos- just hope the sunbeds and Mythos don't get in the way !! .
Really looking forward to this trip as it is one we have always wanted to do. First time doing a Greek holiday that involves a ferry crossing too, but any time spent in Rhodes is all part of the holiday too and as far as I'm concerned- once I've handed over my case at the airport, I'm in other people's hands and therefore my holiday begins.
Cases out now and waiting to be packed....can't wait !!

Well deegee, as it is your first ferry into a Greek Island we hope you get to Symi during the day and can get out on deck as even after 13 years and 18 visits (juniors compared to some on this site ) I, D, still get a lump in my throat.

It is one of the great sights as you round the headland and gradually this magical little place comes into view.

Have a wonderful time - we are sure you will

Thanks very much.
You're adding to my list of things we must do (a long list now)- very grateful !!
We're counting the "sleeps" now. It looks like we may have the late afternoon ferry and I cannot tell you how excited we are because we have always wanted to go to Symi. It looks incredibly beautiful.
