Known for its pastel-hued neoclassical mansions, the picturesque island of Simi sits in the Dodecanese archipelago, close to Rhodes. Wander through the main harbor of Gialos, where fishing boats sway beside waterside tavernas serving fresh seafood. Venture uphill to Ano Simi for panoramic views and a quieter atmosphere. The island’s spiritual heart is the Panormitis Monastery, dedicated to the Archangel Michael, a revered guardian of the seas. Simi’s monumental stone steps and labyrinthine alleys invite leisurely strolls, while boutique shops offer handcrafted souvenirs. Savor local specialties like freshly caught shrimp and the famed Symi-style pasta. Clear waters make it ideal for snorkeling and swimming, and regular ferries from Rhodes ensure easy day trips or extended stays. The warm, sunny climate from late spring to early autumn offers the perfect backdrop for exploring this tranquil gem.
