KALI STRATA OG KATARRAKTIS
Gialos is the port of Symi. Here the citizenship had their jobs while living in their beautiful villas in the hill up against Chorio. In order to avoid walking up and down on old goat paths, stairs were built between Chorio and Gialos.
Kali Strata (the good street) was built in the 1800s and 1900s. It is about 1 km long and has about 400 steps. The view from the Kali Strata over Gialos is amazing. We spent about 35 minutes walking up.
Katarraktis is an older staircase and is located at the back of the hill. It takes about 15 minutes to go down from Chorio to Gialos.
Join us on a trip up Kali Strata and down Katarraktis.
Gialos er havnen på Symi. Her hadde borgerskapet sine arbeidsplasser, mens de bodde i sine vakre villaer i åsen opp mot Chorio. For å slippe å gå opp og ned på gamle geitestier, ble det bygget trapper mellom Chorio og Gialos.
Kali Strata (den gode gaten) ble bygget på 1800- og 1900-tallet. Den er ca 1 km lang og har ca 400 trappetrinn. Utsikten fra Kali Strata over Gialos er fantastisk. Vi brukte ca 35 minutter på å gå opp.
Katarraktis er en eldre trapp og ligger på baksiden av åsen. Det tar ca 15 minutter å gå ned fra Chorio til Gialos .
Bli med oss på en tur opp Kali Strata og ned Katarraktis.
Symi: Carry on up the Kali Strata
It's not every day that you see vehicles driving up the Kali Strata, the set of 300 + stone steps on Symi. This digger was on its way home after finishing a job, and the only way to get to the main road was up. (June 17th 2013)

Συμη το ομορφότερο λιμάνι στη Ελλάδα - greece symi drone video
In Greek mythology, Symi is reputed to be the birthplace of the Charites and to take its name from the nymph Syme (in antiquity the island was known as Aigli and Metapontis), though Pliny the Elder and some later writers claimed that the name was derived from scimmia a monkey. In Homer's Iliad the island is mentioned as the domain of King Nireus, who fought in the Trojan War on the side of the Greeks. Thucydides writes that during the Peloponnesian War there was a Battle of Syme near the island in January, 411 BC, in which an unspecified number of Spartan ships defeated a squadron of Athenian vessels. Little was known about the island until the 14th century, but archaeological evidence indicates that it was continuously inhabited, and ruins of citadels suggest that it was an important location. It was first part of the Roman Empire and then the Byzantine Empire,[8] until its conquest by the Knights of St. John in 1309.[9]

This conquest, fueled by the Knights' interest in shipping and commerce, launched what was to be a period of several centuries of prosperity for Symi, as its location amidst the Dodecanese made it an important waypoint for trade until the advent of steam-powered shipping in the 19th century. The island was conquered from the Knights by the Ottoman Empire in 1522 (along with nearby Rhodes) but it was allowed to retain many of its privileges, so its prosperity continued virtually uninterrupted. Under the Ottomans the island was called Sömbeki. Symi was noted for its sponges which provided much of its wealth. It attained the height of its prosperity in the mid 19th century, and many of the peculiarly colorful neoclassical mansions covering the slopes near the main city date from that period.[10] Although Symiots took part in the Greek War of Independence of 1821–1829, it was left out of the new Greek state when its borders were drawn up and so remained under Ottoman rule.
The island, along with the rest of the Dodecanese, changed hands several times in the 20th century: in 1912 the Dodecanese declared independence from the Ottomans as the Federation of the Dodecanese Islands, though they were almost immediately occupied by Italy. The island was formally ceded to Italy in 1923, and on 12 October 1943 it was occupied by the Nazis.[12] At the end of World War II, the surrender of German forces in the region took place on Symi to the British and the island was subject to three years of occupation by them as a result.[13] Symi was finally rejoined with Greece in 1948.
The island has become a haven for tourists from abroad, especially British and Italians,[14] and is now the permanent home of about 120 non-Greek residents,[15] some 50 of whom are British.[5] The influx of tourists has led to the restoration of a great number of homes (many of which were destroyed during World War II); these restorations, by law, have to conform to guidelines laid down by the Greek culture ministry's Archaeological Service. Between 1998 and 2006, it is estimated that the price of a ruin on Symi increased fivefold.[5] The growing population of British and other expatriates has led to demographic as well as political changes, since EU citizens are allowed to vote in local elections and have attempted to exert influence on the island's politics. Opinions on whether this is a sign of growing integration differ.[16]
There has been considerable restoration of many houses in Symi in the past decade, by architects including Haris A. Kalligas and Anastasia Papaioannou, both winners of the Europa Nostra Awards for their work on Symi and elsewhere in Greece.

GIALOS SYMI
Gialos at Symi is one of the most beautiful villages we have visited in Greece. It is located around the narrow harbor and extends up the hillside towards Chora. In the narrow streets there are many small shops, cafes and taverns. From the harbor to Chorio you can go up the Kali Strata stairs. From Chora there is the spectacular view of Gialos. It takes 10-15 minutes to walk along the harbor to the city beach, Nos. Going over the hill to the beaches of Emborios is also lovely.
Gialos på Symi er en av de vakreste byene vi har besøkt i Hellas. Den ligger rundt den trange havnen og strekker seg oppover åssiden mot Chora. I de trange gatene er det mange små butikker, kafeer og tavernaer. Fra havnen til Chorio kan en gå opp Kali Strata trappen. Fra Chora er det spektakulær utsikt over Gialos. Det tar 10-15 minutter å gå langs havnen til bystranden, Nos. Å gå over åsen til strendene i Emborios er også herlig.

The custom that dates back to the Ottoman period is that the bills ultimately throw anchor in its safe harbor, even if they are on the way to another coast. Someone will find them returning to the sea to continue their journey .---- CAUTION ..... The locals confirm it with testimonies and proofs, it's just like what we say: ..... miracle! !! And miracles are still happening ..., the dowries testify.
---- If your heart tells you to climb up to five hundred steps, it is the popular ... Good Stratou ....., you reach up to the village of Ano Symi, which like many islands capitals was built away Port to eliminate the pirates' fear.
------- If you are lucky, by walking you will find the great Virgin of the Castle, where you will find the Second Presence of the 16th century. Combined with the common wheat and magical waters, you may be one step closer to Theosis.----------------------------------------------------------------------------Sticle cu oferte de credincioși „călătorie“ de pe insula Symi-Panormitis este pe marginea Mării Egee, împreună cu Kastelorizo AICI !!!! ..... .... patronul insulei, Saint Michael !!!! !, o referire la lume și Ortodoxia.

Obiceiul datează din perioada otomană vrea ofrandele în cele din urmă a aruncat o ancoră într-un port sigur, chiar dacă în cursul merge la un alt mal. Cineva a găsit să se rostogolească din nou pe mare să-și continue călătoria lor .---- AVERTIZARE .....

În combinație cu creveți Symi și ape magice, s-ar putea fi cu un pas mai aproape de „divinitate“.---------------------------------------Боце са понудама верника путовања на острву Рходес-Панормитис је на ивици Егејског мора, заједно са Кастелоризо ОВДЕ !!!! ..... .... покровитељ на острву, Свети Мајкл !!!! !, позивање на свету и православља. Безброј су они који бацају многе обале широм света, једна боца на мору запечаћена добро, да се унутар носи завет написан на папиру који желе да постигну Панормитис и он заузврат како би се осигурало да сви они који траже своју подршку . Обичај датира још из периода турске жели да понуде коначно бацају сидро у сигурну луку, чак и ако је у току идите на другу обалу. Неко утврђено да поново котрља на море да наставе свој пут .---- УПОЗОРЕЊЕ ..... Мештани потврђују исказе и доказе, то је као оно што кажемо: ..... чудо !! !. И чуда се дешавају још ... Мештани сведоче.
---- Ако ти срце каже Цлимб стотину корака, је популаран ... ..... Кали Страта, устани Село или Горњи Сими који онолико острва престоницама изграђен од лука да се елиминише страх од гусара.
------- Ако имате среће и ходање наћи велики Лади оф тхе Цастле, где унутра ћете наћи Сецонд Цоминг из 16. века. У комбинацији са Рходес козицама и Магиц Ватерс, можда бити један корак ближе Божанском.
