The best area to stay in Symi is Gialos, the island's main harbour, which offers the most convenience and a selection of amenities.Gialos is the first place you'll see when arriving by ferry, characterised by its colourful neoclassical mansions built amphitheatrically around the bay. The waterfront promenade is lined with tavernas, cafes, and shops, making it very walkable. The iconic Clock Tower and the bronze statue of the little fisherman are prominent landmarks. You'll find most of the island's services here, from boat rentals to mini-markets.Couples looking for a romantic and convenient stay often find Gialos ideal. You're right at the heart of the action with plenty of dining options for evening meals. From here, you can easily catch a water taxi to nearby beaches or explore the winding alleys leading up to Chora (the upper town) for stunning views.For those who appreciate a quieter setting but still want easy access to Gialos, Chora (also known as Ano Symi) is an excellent choice. Perched above the harbour, Chora offers panoramic views of Gialos and the Aegean Sea. It's a more residential part of the island, with traditional houses and narrow, stone-paved paths.
