Panormitis Monastery stands commandingly overlooking the bay. As you approach the Monastery church bells ring out welcoming pilgrims, explorers, holidaymakers & curious travellers. Built in the late of 18th century this masterpiece is certainly worth a visit hosts the miraculous all silver-plated icon of Archangel Michael.
The main architectural feature of the Monastery is the impressive bell tower, a mixture of Baroque and Renaissance styles. The colours alone will wow you and the setting on the water of the Panormitis Port is breathtaking.
Marathouda Beach is considered to be one of the best beaches on Symi. It is narrow cove with crystal clear turquoise waters and pebbles on the shore. It boasts a line of sun loungers and umbrellas and is a perfect way to cool down after the visit to the Monastery.
