234 steps up the Kali Strata (main village street), one is invited into Thalia’s beautifully curated home. The apartment has been lovingly restored back into its former glory and is both elegantly and artfully presented. Thalia has thought of absolutely everything from local cosmetic amenities to local cheese, wine and honey. Thalia’s attention to detail and compassionate disposition make her a truly special host. With Thalia’s apartment, we found a paradise, within a paradise and could not recommend this experience anymore. After 14 days exploring all that Symi has to offer, we met so many wonderful people on the island and realised that both Thalia and her husband are an integral part of the community - everybody we met knew of them and only had wonderful things to say. Thank you to Thalia and Yiannis for such a special and memorable time on Symi, we really look forward to meeting again.
