We stayed a few nights at Nicos’ house Symi view and fell in love with the house, the neighbourhood of Chorios, the Kali Strata, and all the old fashioned charm they hold. It’s a simple place, no trappings of a modern lifestyle aside from good Wi-Fi, perfect for unwinding.
If you don’t enjoy walking and climbing/descending steps then you’ll struggle as access is on foot for the final few hundred metres. Mihalos met us off the boat and took us to the house, he was really helpful, we hired a couple of quite new scooters from him which made getting around simpler. We parked them above the house by the church. We also walked to Pedi and back a few times, it’s not so easy getting back but it’s worth the effort. Symi itself is a tough walk back but the bus is quirky good fun, cheap and regular.
The house was clean, it has many large windows and doors which allow the light in and the breeze through and as others have said there’s always a side in shade or sun.
We felt completely comfortable and would recommend the property wholeheartedly.
