I travel a lot, but only
a few of my travel stories make it here. Sometimes, I'm too bored to write,
or some places are unworthy of their own story. There is also a third
category of non-posts. It contains the places that are too nice and
beautiful to share. I wrestled with the idea of placing Symi, a small
island at the South-East corner of Aegean sea, to that category.
Symi is wild, dreamy and
romantic, an ideal destination for summer tourists who seek a place
to relax and recreate. The coast consists of small but deep bays with
clear waters in various shades of blue (creating a sense of
“dreamy”), the mainland is covered with dry stones, pine forests
and monasteries (thus the feeling of “wild”) and the entrance
village (Gialos) is unique, architecturally speaking at least (and
extremely romantic).
