Where to stay in Symi island?
Royal Villa Pedi – Pedi
If you’re a big family or large group then Royal Villa Pedi is a nice and luxurious accommodation that can sleep 12 and includes its own private pool and has an amazing interior design. More Information Here!
It’s a beautiful and nicely renovated old house very close to the harbour. The host, Mike is very warm and helpful. And it was incredibly clean! More Information Here!
This is a beautiful hotel with spacious and nice decorated rooms and great facilities! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The view from the balconies is quite unique and you can enjoy sea and mountain views at the same time!! Breakfast is included, with lovely fresh & homemade products! Keep in mind that a car or a scooter is needed to get to the main town, otherwise, there is a public bus – I think – every hour. More Information Here!
This is my favourite place to stay in Symi and my first choice when I visit the island. The apartment is clean with its own character and it is literally 5 meters from the sea. You will definitely enjoy the morning or even better the afternoon views from the balcony. But the big plus is Fotini, the owner, who is super helpful and with a big smile and whenever she has some time extra time, she can surprise you with some nibbles, coffee or a snack. More Information Here!
This is a small and luxurious hotel with excellent and delicate details on decoration! The views from the balcony to the village and Pedi are wonderful. A nice surprise is breakfast, which is served on the patio and it is quite rich! Just check the location if it is handy for you as it is s between Symi centre and Pedi village. The bus stop is less than 2′ walk up to the top of the road, which takes you to the port, village and Pedi beach. They provide a free pick up transfer for every guest. More Information Here!
Athanasia’s House – Chorio
This house is located in Chorio away from the hustle and bustle of the harbour and you might feel some of the energy of the local community. It is quiet and super clean and I am pretty sure that you will enjoy the breathtaking views from the balcony! Check the location if it fits as you will need some transportation. The owner George might advise you on that. More Information Here!
It’s a lovely little hotel just off the main street and very close to everything! The breakfast is really nice and delicious with lots of choices! I think it is a good value for money hotel! More Information Here!
