Discover the most beautiful beaches of Symi!

Most beaches in Symi are in short walking distance from each other or they can be accessed by boat. Some have umbrellas and taverns along the shore, while others are totally secluded.

Nos, Pedi Nimporio and Panormitis are the most popular beaches on Simi island, however there are many coves in between to enjoy total solitude.

 

NOS. Is a beautiful, popular beach, the nearest to the city of Symi.

One of the locations which contributed to the excellent reputation of Symi island, is Nos Beach, as it has the exact balance between being a peaceful location offering at the same time the necessary facilities for tourists to enjoy a relaxing holiday.
if you would like to take a relaxing holiday near the harbour but far away enough from it to enjoy clean waters and a golden sand beach, don’t hesitate to choose Nos Beach. You can walk in your swimsuit and barefoot from the clock tower to the beach and feel the absolute freedom.

Agios Georgios Dysalonas. Constitutes the most spectacular beach on the island because of the cliff located on site.

Most people consider this beach as the best in Symi and one of the most impressive in the world. The vertical 300 meter cliff, which stands at the rear of an unspoiled pebbled beach, creates a fantastic place for swimmers. Disalonas is accessible only by the sea and there is no taverns or restaurants available. Therefore you need to be prepared by carrying water and the most essential with you.

Nanou is only accessible by taxi-boat or a very long walk! The journey will take between 30-45 minutes. The last taxi boat back to the harbour leaves at 5.30pm.
Nanou is a large, sweeping bay, backed by high cliffs, with astonishingly clear water, marvelous for snorkeling (particularly on the far side). The beach itself is made up of medium to large pebbles, so wear something more substantial than flip-flops.
It is quieter than Agios Nikolaos and the lack of sand makes it less popular for families with children.

Agios Vasilios Symi9

Agios Vasilios. One of the most beautiful pebble beaches in a beautiful location.

This beach, Agios Vasilios or Lapathos Beach, cannot be reached by water taxi (except some days in the high season). If you want to visit the beach the only way is by foot. The walk takes a couple of hours. It is a remote and quiet beach without any facilities, which means that you have to bring your own water supply and something to eat. Because it is so remote and quiet it is an ideal naturist beach. It is made out of pebbles and just a few bits of sand. At the beach there are a couple of trees where you can get some shade (so no umbrellas & sunbeds). The last part of the walk is a rather steep and a bit slippery climb down, so it is adviced to wear good walking shoes.
