Symi Travel Guide

 suvanki Says:  http://www.symitop5.gr A website set up by Manos (not the travel company, but a Symi restaurant owner/business man) Manos owns a well known harbourside seafood restaurant, that has been host to many celebrities/dignitaries visiting the island, (Please see my restaurant tips)... 

 suvanki Says:  Timings of ferry boats, or bad weather conditions might lead to a few hours or an overnight stay in Rhodes. For some, this might be seen as an inconvenience, delaying their arrival on Symi, or in catching their flight home. However, Rhodes Town has much to offer. Historical... 

 mariaschmidt Says:  We have not eaten here because it was still early for lunch but an English couple that are in holiday in Symi recommended it as the best Tavern with the best food in Symi - and it also looks beautiful 

 bill21 Says:  The fish comes from other islands or Turkey.At least 2-4 days old of course.The prices are REALLY expensive and the food is not so great. Pick any other restaurant for the same quality but really LOWER prices. 

 suvanki Says:  Afraid I've not eaten here..yet! Have felt a bit intimidated by the clientele that occupy the crowded tables outside (English Middle class, Middle aged, Home Counties couples, often Laskarina clients) They're probably very nice, but not the best environment for me as a lone... 

 suvanki Says:  On the harbourfront. Tables in or outside. Display of various freshly caught fish/ seafood. One of the most popular / well known eateries on Symi, especially for lovers of seafood.Visiting celebs/VIP's are often spotted here. My first visit to Symi, the Prime Minister of... 

 suvanki Says:  Outside this taverna, you'll smell the charcoal grill before you see it. Climb the stairs to the rooftop eating area. Get here early or book tho' because it can get busy.Nice friendly atmosphere, Greek background music adds to the atmosphere, doesn't drown conversation. Zoe... 

 suvanki Says:  A popular taverna, can get quite busy. Tables inside and out.One of the original tavernas in Chorio, which probably adds to the pleasant atmosphere. This is one taverna where you're invited into the kitchen to inspect the array of hot and cold dishes. As each pot lid is... 

 suvanki Says:  After nearly 2 weeks of eating pleasant enough, but nothing special food at the local tavernas, I was ready for something different. I'd been to this establishment on my first visit, and had thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and excellent food, again I wasn't... 

 suvanki Says:  Popular with young local males. Recognised by motorbikes either parked up, or by their owners doing "wheelies" to impress the local females. But, don't be put off if you don't fall into any of these categories.Tables/chairs outside provide a place to enjoy a drink /ice... 

 suvanki Says:  As is typical of most Greek Islands Symi has an abundance of cats, roaming the streets, restaurants and accomodations.As well as feeding from the titbits fed by tourists and scavaging the bins of restaurants etc, they breed!!!In order to look after these cats, and control... 

 suvanki Says:  8th May each year is a Bank Holiday on Symi, as VE Day is commemorated. Les Catherinettes Restaurant on the waterfront (clock tower side) has a plaque to recognise that at this place, the peace treaty between Germany and Britain was signed. During WW 2, Les Catherinettes was... 

 suvanki Says:  2 /3rds of tourists to Symi are estimated to be return visitors! It's not long before you realise that most of your fellow holidaymakers have been to Symi before - and each encounter is started with the above question, or the statement We've been to Symi XX number of times,... 

 miman Says:  We all have memories etched into our minds and Symi will add one more to the list. As the Rhodes ferry swings around the last headland, a fantastic sight opens up. Apparently slipping down the barren hillsides, gathered all around the great horseshoe curve of a superb...
