My husband and I had a fantastic two week stay at Galini House in July. It was great to have Mr Petros meet us at the port to drive us up the hill and for the last bit of the journey to the house, he helped carry our heavy luggage. Maria the host, was very flexible and helpful and always communicated in a prompt and polite manner. The house is spacious, clean and well-equipped with all the basics needed for a comfortable stay. (The washing machine was especially handy!) It is set in a beautifully serene location in between busy Symi town and laid back Chorio village, up a few steps. In the village, is a tiny shop with a friendly shopkeeper selling delicious Symi honey and Symi herbs. The little cafe past the shop, where we had scrumptious breakfasts with views out to sea, is quaint and lovely. After a day at the beach, we would enjoy a final dip in the sea and it was great to relax on sunbeds at the stylish beach bar just a short walk down from the house. Symi is a wonderful place to relax and unwind and we would definitely recommend Galini House.
