Good morning today we are going to leave the Rhodes island and take a boat to Symi Island
in the last few days, we have spoken to many locals and everyone, every single person that we spoke to
recommend us to go to Symi Island and we are looking forward to see this beautiful island
we are Mansoureh and Bruno, an Iranian and Italian couple living in the UK. In October
2020 we were ready to travel to Turkey but new travel restrictions were imposed so we
had to change our plan at the last minute and decided to head to Rhodes in Greece instead
in the last eight days we not only explored the whole island but we stepped a bit further
and visited some attractions underwater too. Today is our last day in Greece so we
decided to listen to locals and visit Symi, one of the most beautiful islands in Greece
here is where you can take one of the boats. They go to a bunch of different places and there's more
than one boat that goes to Symi Island. We are actually taking the faster one should take
only 45 minutes for us to get there but there are tours that take longer if you're interested in it
let's go let's go. this is the form only for Covid like we haven't been in contact with who has
Covid symptoms or we don't have the same symptoms and we should sign the form and that's it
Symi can only be reached by boat. this small island is a real gem in the southern Aegean sea
this tiny island is famous for its cute harbour town
we have only three hours to go around the island and eat
be careful it's very slippery. People come here to take photos
they don't realize how slippery it is they can fall
more than 22 000 people used to live on this island in the 19th century but right now the population
is only 2 500. shipbuilding and sponge industries were the main source of income in Symi
but these days the economy mostly relies on tourism
right now it's off-peak and because of the pandemic there are not many tourists around and n
not a lot of boats coming here but I can imagine during the summertime it should be really really busy
we just randomly turned to one street
it's beautiful I think all of the narrow streets here are so colourful and beautiful
cats are good with you
look at this
Symi is so famous for Symi shrimps and apparently, there are some kind of shrimps
only for this island and that's why we are going to find the restaurant to try this food
i've heard good thing about it. locals recommended some restaurant and we are going to check them out
I mean we will try one restaurant for today but it should be at the harbour
Taverna Haris is what my Greek friend suggested to try
I should be honest with you I'm not a fan of seafood but since we are in Symi I want to try the
Symi shrimps and this is the Symi shrimps apparently, we should eat the whole shrimps
You can just leave the tail
this is good. It tastes like popcorn
now I am eating seafood
i'm enjoying it that's weird. This Dolmadakia from this island it's special for Symi island
I mean in Greece they do it everywhere but this one is special for here it has minced beef, rice
we order another dish. this is zucchini ball
It tastes good very cheesy creamy zucchini cheese and some herbs. I love the texture
and I love the view
after eating that food I feel sleepy and lazy
but it is not time to sleep we have to go and get our boat and go to St George bay
for swim I'm not sure if I'm going to jump to the water but let's see
you said that you won't swim because you were full yeah my food is coming out of my mouth
you can't say no to this water it's so good probably our last swim
before going back to London or our last swim in 2020 who knows
it was a nice but quick short swim
the whole tree we didn't need to wear the mask but when we are at the harbour we should
wear face masks. I don't know what's the reason behind these rules but we just follow the rules
thanks for watching it's time to go to our room and pack our stuff
because we are going to London tomorrow see you in the next video
we attracted some wildlife
