Symi
The Pearl of the Aegean - that's how the 65 km² island on the far edge of the southeastern Aegean Sea likes to be called. Rhodes is one hour away by boat. Symi is mainly a destination for day tourists from Rhodes. For them, a visit to Panormitis Monastery as well as the listed harbor is a must. The monastery offers a wide panoramic view and as a former place of pilgrimage it is a historical sight. The fishing village Pedi as well as one or the other trip with excursion boats to island places, which you cannot reach otherwise, also belong on your Symi agenda. Keyword: the bays of Nanou and Disalona.
The ferry port on the island of Symi offers connections to the other Greek islands of Agathonisi, Rhodes, Tilos, Kasos, Leros, Kastelorizo, Lipsi, Karpathos, Nisyros, Patmos, Kalymnos, Kos and Astypalea, as well as to the ferry port of Piraeus on the Greek mainland. A total of 21 routes are offered here several times a day by the shipping companies Dodekanisos Seaways, Blue Star Ferries, Sebeco Lines, Sea Dreams and Hellenic Seaways.
Kalymnos
If you are an ambitious sport climber, then the island of Kalymnos, which covers an abundant 100 km², is an almost ideal destination in the Aegean Sea. The village of Massouri in the west of the island is the tourist center. From here you can go to the climbing hotspots. Kalymnos is the island name, and the island capital of the same name is alternatively called Pothia. The trip here takes half an hour by ferry from Kos. Historical sights are the castle of Chora or the white rock monastery in the village of Panormos in the west of the island. On Kalymnos you can enjoy a sunny vacation all year round - for example in the bathing paradise at Vlichadia Beach or at the beach of Palionisos.
