Fly over Symi
If you come to Symi via Rhodes airport, you often get to look down on the island from above as the flight path takes you near the southern end of the island. On clear days, you can easily make out Panormitis bay, the zigzag road and other landmarks, but all you see from that height is an island and rock. You have no idea of the green valleys, the forest, the hidden monasteries and everything else the island has to offer. Well, now, thanks to Symi TV (Facebook link) you can fly over Symi at no cost and see all the incredible detail.
Today, instead of me babbling on about nothing in particular, I thought I’d hand over your next four minutes of blog-read time to Symi TV by embedding their latest video. It’s drone footage the likes of which I’ve never seen. In fact, there are parts of the island shown here that many people would not have seen before – especially a part where you fly over the top of St George’s cliffs which is a bit scary. I tried to identify all the churches, some in very remote locations, and the beaches which you might be more familiar with. It’s only four minutes, but it’s pure magic and, if you click through to the YouTube page, you will find more excellent videos from Symi TV.
