Symi with it's neoclassical architecture is often
regarded as one of the most beautiful islands in Europe. Symi
sometimes written Syme or Simi (Greek: Σύμη) is a Greek island
located within the Dodecanese, 41 km north-northwest of Rhodes. It
is mountainous and includes the harbor town of Symi and its adjacent
upper town οf Chorio, as well as several smaller localities,
beaches, and areas of significance in history and mythology. The
shipbuilding and sponge industries were substantial on the island
and, while at their peak near the end of the nineteenth century, the
population reached 22,500. Symi's main industry is now tourism and
the population has declined to around 3,000.

This magnificently positioned, fully restored
traditional Symi villa with it's two adjoining blocks of land, is in
a fantastic position on the sunny northside of Symi's beautiful
Yialos Harbour. The neo-classical house was restored in 2004. A
traditional style "krokalia" terrace, on the adjoining development
block, provides a stunning entertaining or private relaxation area
for residents. Behind the house, on the second land block, another
garden terrace has been built.
There is tremendous potential
to develop additional accommodation on one or both of the
development land blocks, which have a combined land area of over 500
square metres. This offers any new owners total privacy and/or a
significant investment opportunity. The house itself is set up as
two self contained, one bedroom apartments. One on each of the two
floors. The house can be configured to allow additional
accommodation for a large family. Each unit has an attractive living
area with their own shower room, kitchen area and laundry facility.
The upstairs area also has it's own dining room, balcony and side
terrace.
Directly below the house there are mooring
facilities for both local residents and island visitors. Harbour
swimming is only 300 metres away and the nearest of many island
beaches, a kilometer. Shops, tavernas and restaurants are spread
around the harbour front and are immediately accessable. The house
is available furnished or unfurnished as required by any new
owners.
There are no properties on Symi Island that offer the
position, quality and investment potential that are offered by this
villa/property package.
