Symi holidays
A relatively undiscovered Dodecanese island, elegant Symi’s a postcard pin-up. Italian-flair runs through its pastel-hued port, while hidden beaches and mesmerisingly blue waters make it a natural beauty. A holiday here’s all about embracing the true Greek experience and relaxing in the sunshine. Tuck into the island’s famous fried shrimp in a local taverna, swim in tranquil bays and nurse a glass of ouzo at sunset.Popular Symi Island Holiday Resorts

It’s no secret that Symi’s port is a showstopper. Colourful neoclassical mansions burst into view, rising from the harbour, where yachts glint in the sun and locals sell sponges. From the quayside, venture into the backstreets and you’ll find they’re teeming with chic boutiques and pretty restaurants.
Discover the island
The best way to see Symi is by boat. Take a water taxi to the secluded shores that embellish the island, most topped with pebbles. For a patch carpeted in sand, make a beeline for St Nicholas’ Beach. Beyond the coast, explore the footpaths that wind through dense forest and past tiny monasteries.Beaches
Puerto Rico is home to one of the prettiest beaches on the island, and its calm, shallow waters make it the perfect choice for families. If you prefer beach bars and water sports, Playa Del Ingles is your best bet. Many of Gran Canaria’s beaches are lined with shops and cafés, meaning you won’t have to travel far if you forget your towel!
