Set 1.8 km from Pedi Beach and 2 km from Nos Beach, Aleminas Rooms in Symi offers air-conditioned accommodation with views of the inner courtyard and free WiFi. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The guest house features family rooms.

The apartment is in an excellent location. A few steps away is a well-stocked market open until late; also nearby it’s possible to appreciate a tavern where you can have a taste of traditional Greek dishes. The apartment has all the comforts necessary for a pleasant stay (Wi-Fi, air conditioner, laundery, etc.). The owner Erin was very kind and helpful with us and she provided us with all the necessary information to visit the island and have a good stay. Highly recommended. We’ll definitely be back.

At the guest house, each room is equipped with a wardrobe, fridge and kettle. The rooms include air conditioning, and certain units at Villa Galanis have a patio. All guest rooms feature a private bathroom with a hairdryer.

Villa Galanis is in such a wonderful location, 1-2 mins walk from the local beach and on the quieter side of the port. It’s a beautiful spot, away from the day tourists and near some lovely waterside restaurants and bars. Tina, David and Pandora are the perfect hosts, welcoming visitors with wide open arms and supplying plenty of suggestions to make your stay special, from the best beaches, boat trips, island visits to restaurants with panoramic views. Tina was always on hand when my needed and worked tirelessly to make sure we had everything we needed. Pandora kept our room absolutely spotless and David wowed us with his amazing stories and great sense of humour. The children loved getting to know the cats and would have loved to adopt their gorgeous dog, Ziggy. All this in a picture-perfect island; we couldn’t have hoped for a better holiday, many thanks!

    Authentic Symi charm with the warmest hosts ever. Nikos and Eva are truly lovely and so hospitable. The room we had was charming. It had three bedrooms!! Two terraces (one a small balcony looking over towards the harbour). They were always close at hand if you needed anything but not in an overbearing way. I completely relaxed there with a comfortable bed and just the right distance from the centre to be quiet.

    The location is excellent, only 200 metres from the harbour and in a very quiet area. Away from the hustle and bustle. Castello Venetsiana has its own private raised patio area. It's a great to relax and chill out and have your breakfast. There is a couple of bakery's nearby. Your hosts have an eye for detail . You will not be disappointed with your choice if its quaint rustic charm you want.

    Great hosts and lovely George made our stay. The apartment was clean and tidy and by two beautiful, quiet beaches. Getting to and from Symi harbour was easy because Katia provided transport to and from the property. The taxi boat from Nimborio beach was cheap and convenient to use.
