Sun-drenched islands, ancient history and spectacular coastlines make Greece one of the Mediterranean's most captivating destinations, where every region brings its own distinct character.
AˑSymi Residences sits directly on Pedi cove on Symi as a small, apartment style stay defined by its traditional setting, low key pace and direct connection to the water. The property follows the natural line of the cove, with a row of traditional buildings facing the sea and opening onto shared outdoor spaces that feel informal rather than structured. Movement is simple and direct, from room to terrace to water, with no separation between the stay and the setting. Gardens and small seating areas sit between the buildings and the shoreline, creating quiet spots to pause without interrupting the openness of the site. The scale is deliberately limited, which keeps the atmosphere personal and unforced, more in line with a private residence than a managed hotel environment. para-2 Accommodation is made up of a small number of apartments, each designed as a self contained space rather than a standard hotel room. Layouts prioritise outdoor access, with every unit opening onto a terrace or balcony that becomes part of the living space throughout the day. Sea facing options offer uninterrupted views across the cove, while others look back towards the surrounding hills, giving a slightly different but still grounded feel. Interiors are simple and functional, allowing the setting and outdoor connection to define the stay rather than decorative detail. para-3 Dining is limited to one bar and coffee spot, Pedi Breeze, supported by a breakfast service rather than a full restaurant setup. Breakfast focuses on local products and is served either in the garden or privately, keeping things flexible and in line with the scale of the property. The bar provides drinks, light options and a place to sit by the water, with the emphasis on simplicity rather than variety. For more structured dining, Symi town and nearby tavernas fill the gap easily. para-4 There is no pool, with the focus instead on direct access to the sea, which sits just in front of the property. The rhythm of the day tends to centre around swimming, sitting out on terraces and moving slowly between the few shared spaces available. The setting lends itself to a quieter stay, with snorkelling, walking and short trips around the island forming the main activities. The hotel also supports exploration through local tours and car hire, but the draw here is staying put rather than filling the day. para-6 The property is located in Pedi cove on Symi, around 300 metres from Pedi Beach and approximately 4.2 km from Symi Port, with access via ferry from Rhodes, placing it within reach of the island’s main hub while remaining distinctly separate from it.
Pedi Beach Hotel sits directly on the waterfront in Pedi Bay on Symi, offering a simple, traditional stay where the setting and direct access to the sea define the experience. The hotel follows the curve of the bay, with its main building facing straight onto the water and shared spaces extending out towards the shoreline. Movement through the property is straightforward, from rooms down to the terrace, restaurant and beach, without any separation between the hotel and its surroundings. Everything is centred around this direct connection to the cove, with outdoor seating, dining areas and the beach all within a few steps of each other. The scale is modest, and the layout keeps things functional rather than layered, which suits the relaxed pace of Pedi. para-2 Rooms are positioned to make the most of either sea or hillside views, each opening onto a private balcony that becomes the main extension of the space. Layouts are simple and consistent across categories, with the emphasis on having an outdoor viewpoint rather than varied interior configurations. Higher categories such as Junior Suites offer slightly more space, but the overall experience remains similar across the board, with the setting and balcony views doing most of the work rather than differences in design or layout. para-3 Dining is centred around one main restaurant, Thalassa, supported by one bar, keeping the structure straightforward. The restaurant operates on a buffet basis for breakfast and dinner, focusing on Greek dishes and familiar Mediterranean options served in a setting that looks out across the bay. The bar sits along the waterfront, providing drinks, light snacks and a place to sit throughout the day, naturally tying into the beach and outdoor areas rather than acting as a separate venue. para-4 The beach sits directly in front of the hotel, with sunbeds and umbrellas arranged along the shoreline, making the sea the main focus of the day rather than a pool based setup. Most guests move between their balcony, the beach and the restaurant terrace without needing to leave the property. The sheltered nature of Pedi Bay keeps the water calm, while the hotel also acts as a base for exploring further afield, with boat trips, walking routes and nearby beaches such as Agia Marina and Agios Nikolaos within easy reach. para-6 The hotel is located in Pedi Bay, around 2 km from Symi Port and approximately 3 km from Panormitis Monastery, with access via ferry from Rhodes, placing it within a short transfer of the island’s main arrival point while remaining in a quieter coastal setting.
