Nestled in the Southern Dodecanese, this gem invites exploration beyond its breathtaking harbor, Gialos. Delve into history at the Naval Museum, capturing Symi’s maritime legacy, or journey to the upper town, Chorio, to wander through its traditional houses and tavernas. Uncover the spiritual essence of the island at the Monastery of Archangel Michael Panormitis, a significant religious site with Byzantine frescoes and a charming old-world ambiance. Surrender to the siren call of Symi’s numerous secluded beaches and coves, such as the serene Agios Georgios Disalonas with its imposing cliffs, or the remote Marathounda, accessible only by boat and perfect for a quiet swim or snorkel in crystalline waters. As the sun dips, savor gourmet dishes aboard Maoro under a canopy of stars, or indulge in fresh seafood at a local taverna, all the while embraced by Symi’s warm, welcoming spirit. Every moment here, amidst the tranquil azure and historic charm, is a luxurious, soulful pause from the ordinary, delivered impeccably aboard Maoro.
