Symi Greece Beaches Guide.

Symi Beach Guides and Photos showing some of the lovely beaches available to use whilst on the Greek Island of Simi.

We were not too bothered about beaches whilst on holiday on Symi but did like to finish off a 10 or 15 mile walk at a beach in the late afternoon - preferably where we could strip off and go for a nice swim and sunbathe. Our most favourite Symi beach was Vasilios Beach - this Simi Beach is usually ok for naturists, no beach chairs, few if any people, no tavernas but just a great scenic wild looking beach. It's worth noting that there is not even a track to Vasilios beach so getting there involves a fairly long walk - sometimes the path wanders along half way up the side of a valley and is quite narrow in places. Then actually getting onto this Symi beach involves scrambling down the side of a cliff for a few metres which is a little difficult.. and of course you do eventually have the same longish but very enjoyable walk back to look forward too.

We have made comments on some of the beaches as to how we found them ie. cleanliness, what the sea was like and if they were possibly suitable for or used by naturists. Please note that beaches that we found to be ok for natursts on one day may not be on another - it is frequently the case especially on the small/more isolated beaches on Greece's Islands that the first people on the beach set the standard of dress for that day. However if on holiday on a Greek island then it is fine and acceptable for women to go topless on most beaches.

Most of these Symi beach photos were taken during our various walks around the island (there is information on our walks to be found via our Symi Holiday Walks topic where there are trips described which go out around Chorio, Pedi and Vasilios etc. In fact some of the beaches are only accessible by not too well surfaced dirt tracks or sometimes only paths or by small ferry boat - but of course it is great exploring coastlines on paths and tracks and discovering your own isolated tiny cove or beach.
We have much more about holidays and what to do and see whilst staying on Symi - please see our Symi Holidays Guide
