Peaceful Panormitis
Bay on the west side of Symi Island has
one of Symi's major tourist attractions. The Monastery of Michael of
Panormitis which was first built in 5th or 6th
century, however the imposing present day buildings, were built in 18th
century.

Huge day tripper ferries from Rhodos disgorge hundreds of passengers who
spend about 40 minutes at the site then the siren blows and they all have to
rush back to the ferry and are whisked off to another tourist attraction.
We were pleasantly
surprised to see our friends from the yacht "Kerching" arrive
in the anchorage. It was great catching up with them as we last saw them in Alanya (Turkey) in Sept 2012.
