Postcards from Symi in August

No matter how late the restaurants and tavernas finish, everything is cleaned up and ready to start the new day before the staff go home.  As there is no crime to speak of on the island the chairs, tables and so on are perfectly safe outside over night.



Beach balls, sunhats, swimming shoes and cool cotton beachwear - there's no need to travel with a lot of luggage to Symi as virtually everything one might need is available here at every level and to suit every budget.



Greek summer fruits sharing space with imported bananas from South America and eggs from Rhodes.



One of the most distinctive properties in Symi's famous amphitheatre harbour.



A fisherman, ignoring the bustle around him as he sorts out his nets.



Most of the beaches on Symi can only be accessed by water taxis which leave from outside our office in Yialos.
