A really beautiful secluded bay on the far side of the island of Symi, with a restaurant where the food is simply excellent and good value. Views of the bay are superb. Definitely will visit again!

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.

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.

Taxi boat from main port area. The initial view of the beach takes your breath away , it’s very dramatic with towering cliffs . The water is crystal clear . It was fairly peaceful and then a large boat turned up with many day trippers from Rhodes. Spoilt it for me then as the atmosphere changed and it wasn’t peaceful but the boats soon go and it’s back to peaceful again. . I think this seems to happen lots , I guess as it’s so beautiful. The beach looses the sun in the afternoon also but this adds to its mystery , the colours become more vivid then.

Never thought I would say that a pebble beach is my favourite but I love this place. The beach is long and narrow, and pebbly... invest in some sliders or beach shoes for a fiver and it’s no issue. The setting is beautiful, the beach relatively quiet, and consequently it’s easy to keep an eye on the children. You can walk out quite far so our youngest (2) loved it. The beach is served by a couple of restaurants and we chose the right hand one as you face the beach as it has a covered jetty laid out with a dozen tables and is literally 5 metres from our sunbeds, which were free. There is also a little shop behind the beach with all of the essentials.

Also known as the town beach, a short stroll around the harbour brings you to Nos beach. There is a fantastic restaurant serving real Greek food, there is also a bar run by the lovely Natasha who is a very kind helpful lady. The view from both the bar and restaurant is along the beach and out to sea. Lots of sun beds €4 a day. There is also a lovely land scraped garden with a waterfall. It is a truly wonderful place to go and relax or have a swim.
