I am afraid I am not finding much time to be on Ciao these days but with a new puppy in the house I have some doggy related products to review from time to time.

Depending on what your idea of an idyllic holiday is you will either love Symi or hate it. Just a short ferry ride away from Rhodes the two islands couldn't be more different - in fact when the tourist ferry arrives at Symi each day most of the Symi holidaymakers head away from the main harbour and explore the rest of the island only returning when the tourist ferry heads back!
If you want a peaceful holiday away from the regular tourist routes then Symi is well worth a visit. In the main town there are no real roads and thus no traffic. Accommodation is mostly in villas perched on the hillside and you reach them by climbing up the steps from the harbour so Symi is not for the unfit or the disabled but if you don't fit into either category you could have fun there.
There are lots of tiny little bays dotted around the island - you can take a boat trip each day to a different bay if you want. Some have a taverna on the beach some have nothing so you need to take a picnic or else travel there by boat which offers a barbecue on board. There are no shortage of boats and water taxis waiting in the harbour to take you to your destination of choice and collect you later. Alternatively it is also a great place for walking and you can walk across the island and back in a day.
Many of the bars by the harbour have a happy hour when the tourist ferry has departed where you can enjoy a cocktail before dinner and get refreshed before your climb back the villa.
If you are looking for a place to relax and unwind this is the holiday for you - if you want lots of nightlife and organised entertainment then give it a miss!

We like out of the way places where you can get away from all the crowds. Will definitely have to look in to Symi. A little more info would have been helpful, but still enjoyed reading. Ciao!
