The fairy- tale island of Symi is a real gem in the Dedocanez archipelago, so it's no wonder that we fell in love with it at first sight. We were charmed by the colorful houses visible at the entrance to the port, which seem to rise straight from the slopes of the hills surrounding the city. Picturesque views and the monastery of Michael the Archangel with a beautiful baroque bell tower make the town a quiet and peaceful every day, visited by crowds of enthusiastic tourists every morning.
