Symi is one of the islands GriecheDodecanese, which are convenient away of the southwest coast of Turkey, in which the Aegean sea the Mediterranean meets. It is, unspoiltinsel a small, those hikers, nature-loved and tightens, which is for a taste of the "material Greece" thirsting. Hundreds of day stripper crowds itself here into the summer months of close convenient Rhodes, which is a far larger and more popular holiday place of destination. They come to visit one of the most attractive ports into Greece and in the famous Monastery of the island of the Archangel Michael. The Islanders and those strange visitors, which came to soak up Symis slow step of the life discharge a sigh of the discharge, if the ferries dispatch away the masses before sun down. The island does not have an airport, but there are regular ferry services after and from Rhodes (two hours) an international airport with flights to Athens, to some BRITISH airports and to other European capitals has. A fly dolphin arrives you at Rhodes, 11 kilometer the south of Symi, inside straight under one hour. There are also the regular ferry and hydrofoildienstleistungen, which connect the island with some different in the Archipelago. The island is straight 13 kilometers from the north to the south and eight kilometers from the west to the east with a whole area of 68 square kilometers. She is investigated well on foot, or by water taxi, while the road is "net", does not give an affair with roadways an entrance to the far hurled corners of the island. Ferries couple at the main haven city of Gialos, which is a wonderful concoction the remarkably beautiful colored neoclassical Pastellvillen, which is arranged in the rows on the steep slope, which surveys the port. The city is from the modern development mercifully free and remains architecturally by law before that ravages by mass tourism protected, which many of the larger erholungsorte in the Greek islands scratched. The great buildings of the gate serve as announcements of a splendour-fuller bygone age, than Symi of its lucrative ship building extended and acts sponge dipping. As smaller one century before this were one of the wealthiest all Greek islands. But the ship building industry entered into acceptance and arising the synthetic sponges sounded the Todesknell for decided dangerous occupation of dipping for the material thing. Now Symi is very much the bad relation of plentiful Rhodes, too briefly from the fresh water to supporting everything different than a relatively small tourist trade. They find not very large luxurioese hotel and conference complexes here still the kind of frantic nightlife, for which the erholungsort is so famous Rhodian of Faliraki. Which you find, an attractive island, which is with dozens of the small Monasteries peppered, is forested with Kiefern, oaks and Wacholderbue and eingesaeumt by numerous pretty Kieselcoves, of which many can be only achieved on foot or with the water taxi.
