Cruise from Rhodes to the island of Symi and be welcomed by the sight of the Panormitis Monastery overlooking the bay. As you approach the monastery, hear church bells ringing, welcoming all the pilgrims, explorers, holidaymakers, and curious travelers at its warm embrace.

The monastery was built in the late 18th century and is a treasury of Greek-Orthodox culture. Admire the contemporary church, built in 1783, which hosts the miraculous silver-plated icon of Archangel Michael. The main architectural feature of the monastery is its impressive bell tower, a mixture of Baroque and Renaissance styles, with colors that will definitely woo you.

Let’s not forget the setting on the Panormitis Port that is breathtaking. During your 1-hour stay, don’t miss out on visiting its museum and grab a refreshing drink at the café only a few feet away from the water.

When approaching the port, be welcomed by the sight of a scenic traditional village made by a skillful artist. Admire the island's traditional houses and charming neoclassical buildings that feature pointy roofs of red tile and wonderful balconies, authentic fishermen boats, private yachts, and sailboats, folk and art shops, stalls with sponges, and wooden carvings.

During your 3-hour and 30-minute stay at Symi, relax walking along the colorful coastline or swimming at the small organized beach of Symi with sunbeds provided. Have an abundance of different choices for local sea view restaurants, tasting seafood by the calming sound of the waves beneath you. All these restaurants and cafes surround a beautiful bay filled with small boats and the sparkling blue water of the Aegean Sea.

Get your camera out and snap some photos. Symi is so much more than words or photos can say. Symi is famous for its sea sponges and there are even a few places that sell them as souvenirs. You can also find oils, honey, spices, and wild herbs. Take a stroll around the harbor but don’t forget to also make your way into the backstreets and alleys of the town to get a glimpse of the center.
