TOURS(*)
Tour to Symi
Symi is one of
the most beautiful islands of the Dodecanese group which has not
been spoilt by mass tourism and still retains the traditional
Greek island way of life and hospitality. Once the capital of
Dodecanese, Symi became very rich by developing the sea sponge
trade. Today the island has around 2500 habitants,
mostly engaged in tourism, fishing, and trade.
Visiting this unique island one can
admire the neoclassical 19th
century town, with its colorful little houses. One can also feel
the atmosphere of the island. There will be a one hour stop at
Panormitis, the Monastery of Angel Michael, a
large 18th-century Venetian style building with
the highest baroque bell tower in the world. It also has a very
famous icon.
