The little island of Symi is part of the Dodecanese Islands and lying just 41 km north-west of the Turkish mainland. This mountainous island is separated by lovely valleys and its coast has rocky outcrops and sweet bays, many only accessible by boat.

The upper part is emerged as Chorio and is dominated by the fortress of the Knights of St John.
