Staying at Peb and Marias apartment has truely been one our most favourite Airbnb experiences. Symi is an absolute gem and it has been a real pleasure to be able to feel at home in the place my family once lived.
Pebs mum Maria and cousin helped us arrange our arrival and getting our heavy bags down to the apartment which is situated a little down from the church above Horio. Maria gave us a great intro into the house and some recommendations for Symi. It was a real pleasure to stay in such a beautiful traditional home - everything was so lovingly considered but we were also super grateful for the new aircon and washing machine.
We hired a moped for several days which saved us the many steps down to Gialos but it was also great to explore Horio on foot (and work off some of the food). We were able to get to most beaches via bike expect Nanou which requires a water taxi. Supermarkets were well stocked and we had some excellent meals at the seafood restaurants in Gialos and local restaurants in Horio.
We spent one week in Symi but easily could spend many more and hope to be back next year!
