Hunt down history
Climb more than 500 steps up the Kalí Stráta path to Horio, the old town, where you can mosey past neo-classical mansions and the ruins of a castle. There’s a tangle of tavernas and bars too, where you can settle in with a drink and soak up incredible views of the harbour.Dine waterside
Symi Town has a certain cosmopolitan panache to it, with buzzing bars and chic restaurants. Grab a table right near the water and feast on the island’s famous fried shrimp with ribbons of garlicky spaghetti or try a juicy swordfish steak.Language
