Symi island and Panormitis monastery

After comfortably being collected from your hotel and transferred to Rhodes Port, we will begin our sail to the Island of Symi. This trip takes you to the perfectly formed Harbor of Symi, one of the most beautiful picture postcard villages with neo classical pastel colored houses. You will have free time at your leisure to explore the quaint shops in search of natural sea sponges and cooking spices. Why not have a fresh fish lunch in the sunshine at one of the islands sea front taverns.

After lunch the boat sets sail to the south of the island, here along the inlet stands the massive building of Panormitis Monastery. This monastery is dedicated to the Archangel Michael and has a charming bell tower and a beautiful 12th century church. It is a well-known spot of great interest and attracts many visitors and worshippers who come to see the Byzantine frescoes and engraved temple full of golden offerings.
