Symi Taxi Boat

Reviewed By alisonsM6413UD - Newbury, United Kingdom

About €9 each return from Gialos - we went to Asia Marina (brilliant taverna there) - taxi went at 10am and then again 11-12. There were two return options from our beach 15.15 & 17.15 so you can't exactly hop on and off to visit other beaches. Maybe this is the case in the height of the season. Taxi boat was on time and was the main carrier by the looks of it. There was another option at Gialos port but we didn't use it.

Marathounda Beach

Reviewed By BrianEnyc - New York City, United States

Marathounta beach is a beautiful pebble beach in a cove near the southern part of Symi, easy to reach via water taxi. The beach is known for the goats that roam freely nearby, and who are always curious about what is in your bags! The watr is crystal clear and calm, a good beach for swimming. Bring water shoes! Chairs and umbrellas are available at the beach, and a good taverna serves fresh and delicious Greek fare for a reasonable price.

Nanou Beach

Reviewed By L7768EQdavidd - Devon, United Kingdom

Saturday 1st June at we took the midday water taxi, provided by Taxi Boats Symi, from Gialos to this secluded beach. The beach is situated on the eastern side of the Island in the beautiful Nanou Bay with its amazing mountainous coast. Our boat journey took around 30 minutes, the beach is only accessible by boat There is a small Taverna, Nanou Maria, where we had lunch under the old Cypress tress. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available to rent on the beach, we paid €5 for both sunbeds and the umbrella, reduced price because we ate in the Taverna. When we visited it was not very busy, it was so peaceful, relaxing and very quiet. The only noise we heard was the odd boat arriving or leaving, the gentle flapping get of our umbrella in the wind or the waves lapping up on the shore. The blue/green coloured sea was crystal clear. Towards the rear of the beach, up the concrete pavement, it the small little blue and white church. It is worth walking up to have a look, but please wear appropriate clothing, out of respect. The beaches stretches the length of the Bay, there is lots of space for visitors to spread out their beach mats and towels rather than using the sun beds. It is a pebbled stoney beach, so would recommend wearing rubber sole shoes when getting in to the sea. This beach was definitely the best of the beaches that we visited on the way here.

Have fun trying to imagine what it must have been like to live in Symi before the onslaught of mass tourism, when this was the main commercial thoroughfare.

Monastery of the Archangel Michael

Reviewed By jcgtune - Alexandria, United States

We loved our drive up to this historic monastery. It is lovely and the people there were very friendly. It is interesting to see how worshipers place icons at the altar to ask for blessings or give thanks. The pebble mosaics that make up the floors are incredible.
