SYMI ISLAND

Symi, famous for its sponges and herbs, is a small but quite hilly island just eight miles by six, with a mountain called 'Vigla' (2020ft) in the centre. It nestles inside Turkey's rugged coastline.
 

The main town of Symi is divided into the upper and lower town. The lower town is also called Yalos, the upper town known as Chorio (pronounced Horio). The two districts are linked by a lane so steep is has steps (the Kalistrata-good street). It is flanked by charming neoclassical houses, some of them painted in warm pastel colors, with balconies and peaked, red tiled roofs. Many of them are also embellished with neoclassical features on the doors and windows. Their interiors are decorated with wood carvings, the locals having been adept at the craft for generations.
